South Carolina’s next road trip now has a kickoff time.
The Gamecocks will head to Fayetteville to face Arkansas on Nov. 14, with the SEC announcing Monday that the game at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium will start at 7:45 p.m. and air on SEC Network.
It’s the penultimate road game for Shane Beamer’s team, and it comes with a familiar opponent on the other side. Arkansas owns a 14-10 edge in the all-time series, and the Razorbacks handled South Carolina 44-30 the last time the teams met in 2022.
The matchup has been rare lately, with the schools playing only twice in the last 11 years. South Carolina’s last win in Fayetteville came in 2013.
Before that trip, both teams still have work to do this week.
No. 23 South Carolina is back home at Williams-Brice Stadium to take on Texas A&M at 3 p.m. on ESPN.
The Gamecocks are 5-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC after beating Oklahoma. Texas A&M enters at 4-4 and 1-4 in league play after a bye week.
Arkansas, meanwhile, is 3-5 and 1-4 in the SEC after a loss to Missouri. The Razorbacks will go on the road to Auburn this weekend before turning their attention to South Carolina.

South Carolina Faces A Real SEC Test As Momentum Keeps Building
South Carolina heads into Saturday with a little more buzz around it than it had a few weeks ago, and the next step is a meaningful one. The No. 23 Gamecocks have won three straight, built their momentum behind strong offensive performances and now get Texas A&M at Williams-Brice Stadium in an SEC matchup that should say plenty about where this team really stands.
The Gamecocks have been especially effective on the ground, leading the league in rushing yards, with quarterback LaNorris Sellers continuing to be a central part of the attack. Texas A&M arrives with its own playmakers, including wide receiver Mario Craver, but the Aggies have had a harder time in SEC play and away from home, which makes this one a real test of whether South Carolina's recent surge can hold up against a conference opponent with enough talent to make things uncomfortable.

LaNorris Sellers Has South Carolina Suddenly Looking Like A November Threat
LaNorris Sellers has turned October into a showcase for South Carolina, and the timing could hardly be better. The Gamecocks have looked far more dangerous with him driving the offense, as he averaged 342 yards of total offense and 3.75 touchdowns per game during the month, a stretch that has changed the tone around a team that suddenly has a real November pulse.
For South Carolina, the bigger question now is whether that surge can carry into the closing stretch and keep the Gamecocks in the conversation when the calendar flips. Around the sport, October also reshuffled the bigger picture, with Ohio State dealing with defensive issues after its loss to USC and Wake Forest putting itself in control of its ACC fate, but South Carolinas rise feels especially relevant because it comes with a quarterback who has made the offense look explosive at just the right time.

Ole Miss Is Catching Oklahoma At A Very Unstable Time
The loss to South Carolina only sharpened the scrutiny around Oklahomas offense, which has spent much of the season looking stuck in place. The Sooners have been one of the SECs least productive rushing teams and have also lagged badly on the national scale, a sign that the problems go well beyond one bad afternoon or one shaky game plan.
Ben Arbuckle is now expected to be out after just his second season as offensive coordinator, and the timing adds another layer of instability for Brent Venables program. With the offensive line still a major concern and the staff already dealing with another reset, Oklahoma is heading into an offseason where the search for answers could be just as difficult as finding the next coordinator.
