South Carolina plans to utilize its deep backfield vs. Kentucky
Although this is a Steve Spurrier-coached squad, South Carolina sure appears to be a team built to run the football.
The three-pronged attack in the backfield includes Brandon Wilds, Shon Carson and David Williams. Each brings something a little different to the table.
Wilds is the biggest of the three, and is the most natural in terms of catching the football out of the backfield. Williams is also a bigger back, but has good quickness and elusiveness. Carson is the fastest of the three. He thrives primarily on runs in which he can get to the perimeter and burst up the field.
All three made an impact versus North Carolina in the opener. Wilds rushed for 51 yards and had 44 receiving yards before being limited with a shoulder injury. Williams chipped in with 42 yards on the ground, and Carson's 48-yard touchdown scamper essentially won South Carolina the game.
The inexperience of Connor Mitch somewhat necessitates a ball-control style of play. This isn't typical of a traditional Spurrier team, but it's effective for the personnel he currently is working with.
Wilds on RBs. "We're all different sizes but we bring the same things to the table." #Gamecocks
