The South Carolina Gamecocks are one of the hottest teams in college football, but uncertainty surrounds starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers' availability for Saturday's matchup against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
ESPN's Pete Thamel reported Saturday that although Sellers traveled with the team to Arkansas, the South Carolina quarterback's "status is in flux" ahead of the matchup. Citing sources, Thamel reported that Sellers was listed as probable while dealing with a lower-body injury and would ultimately be a "game-time decision."
Sellers has thrown for 2,100 yards and 17 touchdowns with the Gamecocks at 6-3 and sixth in the SEC. Last week, he guided the team to a 17-9 victory over Texas A&M, with a rushing touchdown in addition to one touchdown pass.

The Gamecocks have won four straight games and are still considered a threat to reach the 12-team College Football Playoff field. They currently are 4-3 in the SEC and looking to extend their winning ways.
Sellers has been a major reason for South Carolina's success, providing multiple ways for the Gamecocks to attack opposing defenses.
If he can't play, South Carolina would likely turn to freshman backup Cutter Woods against Arkansas. Woods has played briefly in four of his team's games this season, with the most recent on Oct. 31 in the 42-25 win over Oklahoma.
In September's 57-0 rout of Kent State, Woods completed 6 of 8 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown.
With Sellers more of a rushing threat than Woods, South Carolina could lean more heavily on their running backs, Matt Fuller and Jabree Coleman, who have combined for 839 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.
