LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - One team is trying to prove it's a future threat in the Southeastern Conference. The other hopes to avoid another late-season swoon. When Arkansas hosts South Carolina on Saturday in Fayetteville, both coaches will have plenty to be anxious about.
The Razorbacks are playing well offensively but have only one league win. The Gamecocks started 5-1 before losing 2 of their last three games. Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino calls the game a must-win.
The Razorbacks have scored over 40 points in every home game, but they're just 1-4 in SEC play. South Carolina started strong, but the Gamecocks could use a victory this weekend to avoid a familiar November feeling. South Carolina was 7-3 before losing its final three games of last season, and dropped its final five games of 2007 to finish 6-6.
