Arkansas trumps South Carolina...41-20

Arkansas handed South Carolina its first home loss this season, beating the Gamecocks 41-20 Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium. South Carolina falls to 6-3, 4-3 SEC. Arkansas improves to 7-2, 4-2 SEC. It was the second-worst home loss for the Gamecocks under Spurrier. South Carolina lost to Alabama at home 37-14 in 2005. "We had a terrible night," Spurrier said. "I apologize to the fans that we weren't even competitive. The way we played, you wonder how we've won six games already. They thoroughly outplayed us and outcoached us." Still, the Gamecocks will battle Florida next week for the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title. Florida routed Vanderbilt 55-14 on Saturday. The Gators (6-3, 4-3) will host South Carolina, with the winner advancing to the SEC championship in Atlanta. Florida is trying to get back for a third straight year. USC will be shooting for its first SEC East title. "We are what we are," Spurrier said. "It doesn't really matter what either team has done" going into next week.
