Arkansas hired Georgia assistant Sam Pittman as its head coach Sunday, giving the longtime offensive line coach his first chance to lead a college program. Pittman, an Oklahoma native, has been coaching at the FBS level since 1994 and he's been in the Southeastern Conference, including a three-year stint at Arkansas, since 2012. Athletic director Hunter Yurachek made the move official with Pittman on Twitter. Pittman has spent the last four years at Georgia working for Kirby Smart. He's known as both an ace recruiter and top-notch line coach. Pittman also has made assistant coaching stops at Tennessee, North Carolina and Northern Illinois, but this is a much different challenge. Arkansas is coming off a 2-10 season that led to the firing of coach Chad Morris after less than two seasons. The Razorbacks have not reached a bowl game since 2016 and are on their fourth head coach in less than a decade. The fans have checked out. This season, the year after a $160 million stadium renovation and expansion, the school had its two lowest-attended games since 2001. - AP College Football

12/02/19 - T.J. Brunson, Sr/2020, South Carolina, 6-0, 219 (DS#32 OLB) + More +

South Carolina coach Will Muschamp has demoted offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon and fired quarterbacks coach Dan Werner and strength and conditioning coach Jeff Dillman, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Sunday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the school had not yet made an official announcement. McClendon was in his second season as Muschamp's offensive play-caller and fourth overall with the Gamecocks. Werner joined the staff two seasons ago. Dillman was also in his fourth year at South Carolina.

McClendon is considered a strong recruiter and was the program's receivers coach his first two seasons. It is not yet know what role he'll have with the Gamecocks going forward. The moves come after a disappointing 4-8 season where the Gamecocks did not qualify for a bowl game for the first time in Muschamp's four years. The offense struggled much of the season and was dreadful down the stretch with a total of 24 points and one touchdown in South Carolina's last three games. - AP College Football

South Carolina's Bryan Edwards will end his career as the most prolific receiver in school history. Edwards already has a school-record 225 career receptions. He also has 2,955 yards receiving to put himself well within reach of Alshon Jeffery's career record of 3,042. His 21 touchdown catches are two off the school record shared by Sidney Rice and Jeffery. Edwards tied a school single-game record last week by catching 14 passes in a 24-7 triumph over Vanderbilt. - AP College Football

With one of their key playmakers out injured, South Carolina again turned to dependable "old man" Bryan Edwards. Edwards caught a school record 14 passes for a career best 139 yards to lead the Gamecocks (4-5, 3-4 Southeastern) to a 24-7 win that keeps South Carolina's season from skidding into a ditch for now. The senior shouldered the offensive load for the Gamecocks after receiver Shi Smith tweaked his hamstring this week and did not play. "He competes every down like it is his last down," South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said. "I've seen that for four years now."

Ryan Hilinski was 24-for-31 for 235 yards for the Gamecocks, including a 25-yard touchdown pass to Edwards midway through the fourth quarter that sealed the win. "He was hard to tackle," Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said. "At times we knew the football was coming to him and we still had a hard time getting him down." Edwards' teammates call him "old man," in part because he is one of the few seniors on the offense and in part because he is a mature, calming presence in the locker room. That's been especially important in an up-and-down year that included an upset of No. 8 Georgia and second half collapses in losses to No. 6 Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee. "Everybody calls me `old man.' I haven't turned 21 yet," said Edwards, who also had a 38-yard punt return late in the third quarter that flipped the field a defensive struggle. - South Carolina/AP College Football

South Carolina is planning to play this game without Rico Dowdle, who rushed for 140 yards against Tennessee last season but injured his knee against Florida last week. Dowdle has run for 457 yards and four touchdowns while averaging 5.9 yards per carry this season. The emergence of Tavian Feaster should give South Carolina confidence that it can continue running the ball effectively even without Dowdle. Feaster rushed for a career-high 175 yards on 25 carries against Florida. Feaster has run for a team-high 492 yards this season and is averaging 6 yards per carry. - AP College Football

South Carolina's football program was placed on probation for the next year by the NCAA for a former assistant coach's impermissible actions in recruiting a sophomore prospect in the spring of 2018. South Carolina reported the infraction to the NCAA, which considered it a Level II violation. The school and the NCAA handled it through the governing body's negotiated resolution process. The probation, which runs until Oct. 21, 2020, does not include any restriction on postseason competition, according to the NCAA. The violation involved impermissible texts and in-person contact between the ex-assistant and the high school sophomore. Neither were named in NCAA documents.

South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said he is responsible for all facets of the program, including when things go wrong. "I recognize that a violation occurred within my program and I have taken substantial corrective actions to ensure that similar instances do not continue to occur," he said in a statement. In the offseason, Muschamp let go of two assistants in defensive line coach Lance Thompson and tight ends coach Pat Washington. John Scott Jr. came over from Arkansas to coach the defensive line while assistant Bobby Bentley was shifted to take over tight ends and former Georgia tailback great Thomas Brown was hired to coach running backs. The NCAA said South Carolina cooperated fully in the investigation. - AP College Football

10/22/19 - Rico Dowdle, Sr/2020, South Carolina, 5-11, 213 (DS#39 RB) + More +

South Carolina coach Will Muschamp doesn't expect injured starting tailback Rico Dowdle to play this week against Tennessee. Muschamp said Tuesday that Dowdle has a sprained right knee. Although, he moved around at practice, Muschamp was unsure that Dowdle would be healthy enough when the Gamecocks (3-4, 2/3 Southeastern Conference) travel to play the Vols (2-5, 1-3). Dowdle was hurt on the first play Saturday against Florida. Dowdle, a senior from Asheville, North Carolina, was helped to the sidelines before going to the locker room. He eventually returned to sidelines with a brace on the knee. Muschamp says the injury does not require surgery, meaning Dowdle will return "sooner than later." Dowdle has 457 yards and four touchdowns this season. - AP College Football
