Breaking news:Raheim Sanders has been suspended from South Carolina Gamecocks And announce his departure Due to….
, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina tailback Raheim Sanders has proven the past few weeks why he’s got the well-earned nickname, “Rocket.”
When he gets going, Sanders is near impossible to catch.
“When I see that green grass, I think, ‘Man, lovely,’” Sanders said after gaining 126 yards and scoring two touchdowns in a 28-7 win at then-No. 24 Vanderbilt on Saturday.
The newly ranked No. 23 Gamecocks (6-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) hope Sanders’ jet-propelled showings continue down the stretch, starting Saturday against No. 24 Missouri (7-2, 5-2).
Sanders averaged 8.2 yards a rush against the improved Commodores. He had scoring runs of 33 and 1 yard, plus he added a 43-yard TD catch from LaNorris Sellers for a Gamecocks squad almost no one in the SEC wants to face right now.
It was the latest of several significant performances for the Arkansas transfer, who finished second in Southeastern Conference rushing with 1,443 yards and with 10 touchdowns for the Razorbacks two years ago.
