Hell, I said 3-9 and stood by the 3-9 until we won 4 games...
I'm happy that we won 6 games and have a chance to play in a bowl game...

Most of us predicted nothing.
Quit pouting.
Happy to be at 6 wins, but I am not gloating about it. The performance against the weakest Clemson team in a decade was abysmal and does not make me feel warm and fuzzy. We are a 6-6 team that looks like a 3-9 team and probably should be a 3-9 team.
Clemson isn't weak on defense, just on offense and no one is talking about the first drive when we had them at 3rd and 15 and they ended up getting a first down towards an easy TD...
They were still the worst Clemson team we have faced in 10 years.
Maybe, but we have the worst offensive line in the last 8 years... You're not going to score points against a top 5 defensive team in the country..
Because with a serviceable offense we'd have won 7-8 games. UK shut us out in the first half and won 16-10. Missouri would have been a win. Our offense barely averaged 20 points per game this season (21-22 if you include DEFENSIVE TDs). The team overperformed, but it was mostly our rebuilt DEFENSE that kept us in games. I'm happy with how we played for the most part. However, it's unrealistic to be okay with the offensive product that was displayed this season -- especially after the big game Satterfield (who was fired from Tennessee Tech for failing to produce a serviceable product) talked.
It's become clear that Marcus Satterfield's offense will cost us games and top offensive recruits don't want to play for him. Fans are mad because they don't want to watch an anemic offense coached by him either.
I predicted 6 wins. We got to 6 wins. I’m moderately happy. And I’m glad the season is extended for a bowl. That said, I sure didn’t predict the correct path to our 6 wins. And even though we got there, I am concerned about the OC and OL coaches. And the need of a QB and OL upgrade is critical to future success. I like Beamer. But is he ready and willing to make some tough decisions? Go Cocks!
We're the only team they shutout.
There are no excuses for getting embarrassed at home like that.
Here you go. I don't think it was most.
2021 Football schedule ... who do we beat? 6 wins and 6 loses? Better or worse?
I think you'll find ECU is no patsy especially at their place. 5 wins would be a good season... It all come down to QB play.Poor Qb play equals 3 wins.Excellent QB play means 7-8 wins.Likely somewhere in between. I said in another thread that I'm not chalking up ECU as an automatic W at all...

Clemson averages giving up 308 yards per game. We gained a total of 206 yards last night on OUR home field, not even in the ball park of what they usually give up. Some of us realize we have major problems on the offensive side of the ball, that will hopefully soon be addressed. By the way, I predicted 4-5 wins. So, we are around where I thought we'd be, thanks primarily to the defense.
Their Offense started coming around at the end of the season. All of the RB’s we’re healthy, their OL opened enough holes to give them running room.
That burned clock, kept the defense fresh, and they were able to shut us down.
That doesn’t excuse why we weren’t running slants and over the middle stuff to keep their LB’s back on their heels.

Maybe Tanner should call the three schools and give the wins back. I'm not gloating either, but it feels like nothing will please some fans.
I'm not mad, very happy with the season and coach. Very dissapointed in our lack of fight last night.
I'm happy with 6-6, just not with Satterfield as OC. Life isn't black and white. One can be super pleased with the whole, but still note weaknesses and areas that need to be improved upon.
How old are you? I predicted 4 wins and am not mad and to be honest most on here that predicted more wins didn't predict wins over Fla. and Auburn. The Clemson game should give you some perspective about where we are as a program. Granted, give Beamer credit, six wins this year was an achievement. But there were some predicting more than 6.
Clemson's offense could have won the game by simply kicking a field goal after the interception early. We scored 0 points. I think time of possession was roughly 50/50 in the first quarter. I'm not sure about for the half, but our offense has burnt a lot of clock going backwards this season.

Take out Defensive TDs and we averaged 19 PPG from our offense. That's not including the number of turnovers we had that put us in gimme range. Satterfield's offense sustained very few actual drives resulting in points this season, and if it weren't for our defense we'd have been blown out of a few games (including those we lost). Defense and the team improved overall and the offense fought the entire way, but they weren't put in position to showcase their talents. A good coach takes his and beats you with yours or takes yours and beats you with his; he doesn't shift the blame onto the QB or others constantly. When you're driving the boat, don't blame the passengers when it crashes.
Defense held teams to under 300 ypg and 24 ppg this season. That's good enough to win and put your team in position to win week in and out. Defense was one of the top scoring defenses in the nation and did great on takeaways.
(Actually noticed CCU was #1 in the nation in turnover margin. That could explain some of their success recently.)

I'm not sure it's fair to ask people to assess the relative success of the season right now. Am I glad we finished 6-6 when most analyst had us penciled for 4 wins? Sure. Did I see some positives that gives me confidence in Beamer's coaching philosophy? Sure. But if you are expecting people to pop the champagne celebrating this season the day after getting beaten 30-0 by our rivals, you're barking up the wrong tree. We will need some time to absorb this.
The talent level is fine. We legitimately had a chance to win 7 or 8 this season, based on how we finished. Clayton White made something out of nothing and that unit kept us in games.
I will say what I have always said. 6 wins is great. It exceeded pre-season expectations. The problem is that we just never had any identity on offense and didn't ever look like a well-coached, disciplined team.
Hell, I had a grand bet we wouldn't win more than 4. We squeaked by on 3 of the slugs we played, we caught UF in flux and actually played good, how the hell we actually won against Auburn, I can't explain. We go against a down ACC team in Clemson and get boatraced. Don't get cocky. We still suck. We need a real OC, Oline coach, receivers coach. But most of all, we need Jimmies and Joes. Beamer is a great chearleader. Reminds me of Dabo in hid first couple of years. But he got smart and hired ringers. Then they kicked ass. Beamer needs to do the same thing. Get some ringers and send that bunch of losers on down the road. JMO
I predicted 5 max. We did better. I'm happy about that. However, what I am disappointed in (not mad about) is that it appears we left 2 wins on the field...UK and Mizzou and that those loses seem to be on the coaches.
Every team in the ACC scored on them and had close games with them. Good thing we not in the ACC
I defend this team a lot, but they aren't a top 5 defense, maybe their front 7 but a weak secondary and a bad level of competition over the season.
I really don't know why folks keep pointing to the UK game as outrageous that we lost. They finished 9-3 and have the 4th best SEC record behind UGA, Bama and Ole Miss. They are clearly better than us this year so maybe the only thing that truly is surprising about that game in retrospect is that we kept it that close. Would like to see them play Clempson in a bowl.
no...us Gamecock fans are happy to win each and every game we were able to. But....most years in the SEC you don't have a situation AT Florida like they had this year to rely on, and you don't get a first year SEC HC with 3 key offensive/point producing starters out (Auburn) to rely on either.
I take those wins no matter the circumstances because injuries and other sh#t happens to USC just like it happens elsewhere. I hope nobody in our program is expecting to see this on a recurring basis. We have to get good, and not rely on the ineptitude of others....especially in the murderer's row conference we play in.
I never predicted anything but some were making their predictions based on a solid schedule that didn’t include a complete implosion by Florida or Auburn.
For the most part it still looked like a 3 win team, if it wasn't for alot of teams going full retard in game. ECU and Vandy all but had it wrapped up. ECU decided to throw the pick 6 before the half instead of run and take the 3 to go up 17-0, then Vandy decided to go Prevent late and give Noland forever to throw. Alot of freebies gave a 3 win team 6 wins. AU was a cluster too
I didn't predict anything (that I can recall), but I expected 4 as the floor with Eastern Ill, ECU, Troy, and Vandy. I expected Georgia, A&M, Florida, Auburn, and Clemson to be losses. I expected we'd win 1 or 2 out of Tenn, Kentucky, and Missouri. So our record is kinda where I thought we would end up, but it definitely didn't play out as I expected it to. Happy that we got to 6 wins and bowl eligibility.
Defense was better than I expected, offense was worse than I expected.
