Former Gamecock Rico Dowdle’s big day wasn’t enough for the Cowboys to beat the Bengals

Former South Carolina running back Rico Dowdle’s big day isn’t enough to get the Cowboys over the Bengals.

The South Carolina Gamecocks still have one game left on their schedule this season as they will play Illinois at Citrus. They fought hard for one of the 12 playoff spots, but it wasn’t enough. However, the NFL regular season is still in full swing, and a former South Carolina Gamecock had his say on Monday Night Football.

Running back Rico Dowdle had 18 carries for 137 yards and an average of 7.3 yards per carry against the Cincinnati Bengals, but his performance wasn’t enough to secure the win. The Cowboys lost their starting quarterback Dak Prescott early in the season, which has led to their reliance on players like Dowdle this season. He has 152 carries for 731 yards and one touchdown this year.

Dowdle played for South Carolina from 2016 to 2019. He finished his college career with 2,167 yards, 19 total touchdowns and an average of 5.1 yards per carry. He went undrafted in 2020 and has been with the Cowboys ever since.
