Kevin Harris is finally healthy enough to play college football again after his breakthrough season as one of the Southeastern Conference's top rushers. Harris finished with 1,138 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns, leading the SEC with 113.8 yards a game last season. His touchdowns were second only in the league to Alabama's Najee Harris. The 5-foot-10, 220-pound Gamecock was eager to keep that going this year. However, back surgery to correct what he and South Carolina coach Shane Beamer called a "minor procedure" led Harris to miss all of spring camp and much of the summer. Harris will play for the Gamecocks (1-0) at East Carolina (0-1) on Saturday.The tailback "looked good out there" for Tuesday's practice, Beamer said. "He'll help. It's another back in the room." Harris was much more than just another back in the room last season; he was the brightest spot in an offense that was 10th in the SEC in both total yards and points. He had five games with 100 yards or more last season, incuding a season high 243 against Mississippi and 210 against Kentucky. Harris became only the third South Carolina runner — Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers and Marcus Lattimore are the others — with multiple 200-yard rushing games. "I'm feeling pretty good," said Harris, who usually keeps his comments brief. "I want to do better than I did last year." - AP College Football
