re: The last time an Arkansas starting RB played South Carolina wearing #5...

Those nine players drafted were mostly 3 star players, a two star player, one player that had one scholarship to Howard and a four star transfer from Bama. They were mostly redshirt seniors and regular seniors. Who did they replace them from last year? Redshirt seniors , seniors, redshirt juniors, juniors and redshirt sophomores. They bullied most AAC conference teams last year which gave many of them plenty of opportunity when it comes to playing time for those backups starting for them now.

Cincinnati made it somewhat a respectable game until the fourth quarter when Bama depth were wearing them down.
