The Gamecocks passing attack struggled last week against Old Dominion, but looks to be much more improved so far through quarter one against the Kentucky Wildcats. LaNorris Sellers finished last Saturday 10/23 (43%) for 114 yards through the air. This week he's already 3-4 for 55 yards and a touchdown.

With 7:39 left in the first quarter, Sellers rolls out to his left and finds a wide open freshman Mazeo Bennett for a 24-yard strike. It was a smooth flick of the wrist for Sellers who rolled out to his non-dominant side. Watch below.
