Mario Anderson takes you in his helmet for two marquee plays
South Carolina transfer running back Mario Anderson has started to make his presence felt in the last two weeks.
After playing sparingly in the first three games of the season, Anderson has started to earn more snaps and has been the Gamecocks leading rusher in the last two.
It all started two weeks ago against Mississippi State when South Carolina focused heavily on the running game with Anderson emerging as the focal point, rushing for 88 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries.
“I feel like that game, it was kind of like my debut game, my coming out game,” Anderson said this week on The Garnet Trust Hour on 107.5 The Game. “The coaches and my teammates, they put their trust and faith in me to be able to run the ball, and credit to the O-line because it was a tough physical game that day. I believe I had 26 touches. We had about 38 total, something like that, around there roughly. So it was a very physical game up front, and I wouldn’t be able to do it without those guys, especially the touchdown.”
