Arkansas @ South Carolina (+3)
We took South Carolina last week at home at night against Tennessee as a slight dog in a game we thought they had a great chance to win outright, and we are doing the same thing again this week. Unfortunately, USC had some very untimely TOs, tipped balls, and allowed a defensive TD or USC would have won that game. People underestimate how difficult it is to play at William-Brice stadium at night. True freshman Arkansas QB Mitch Mustain has yet to be tested this year, averaging about 15 passes a game, the majority of which are screens or 1-2 man out routes. You better believe ole Stevie will be ready for the Razorbacks, and USC has been pretty respectable defending the run allowing 3.8 ypr. Arkansas is out of this world running the football, and definitely has the best backfield in the SEC in Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, and FB Peyton Hillis, as they are averaging 6.3 ypr, that is skewed a bit as the defenses they've faced give up on averafe 4.9 ypr, so they haven't exactly had to worry to
