Calm Down. Most of us predicted a Loss- and we lost. Plus

1) Good teams find a way to win. We aren't a good team. We didn't go to a bowl game last year.


2) LSU has so many more good players than we do. It's not even that close. We would have lost this game by 3 touchdowns in baton rouge.


3) Our offense is severely limited. We knew it would be. It's much worse with Sellers on the sidelines. We have NO wideouts that the opposing defense has to worry about.


4) Bad teams make critical mistakes and penalties. We made huge penalties today. We had something like 13 penalties for over 120 yards. That's a back breaker for most teams outside of the top 5.

5) I didn't watch the game. I listened to it on the radio. Tommy Suggs, to his credit, was begging us to get more creative on offense the entire 2nd half. We didn't and it showed.



This was closer than I expected. I thought we'd likely lose by 14-17.

SIAP: National writeup on South Carolina recruiting weekend with LSU

This weekend’s game against LSU has the biggest potential of any recruiting weekend on South Carolina's schedule.​


Alexander: FACT. The combination of names on campus, especially 2026 standouts such as receivers Jordon Gidron and Donovan Murph, offensive lineman Darius Gray, defensive back Samari Matthews and elite defensive ends Deuce Geralds and Rodney Dunham, along with the importance of the game, makes it an essential recruiting weekend. The addition of College GameDay in the mix, and an opportunity to knock off a top-25 conference opponent at home to start the season 3-0 means that the stadium will be full and loud and an ideal environment to show young recruits.

The issue? South Carolina has to deliver, and at the very least keep this a fourth-quarter game with the crowd engaged throughout. If it comes out and lays an egg, it could easily have the opposite of the intended effect.

Spiegelman: FACT. South Carolina has some huge games on the schedule, but let's live in the moment for just a second. Shane Beamer's team caught the attention of the entire SEC and the country by beating Kentucky convincingly last weekend on the road, and now Williams-Brice will be the stage to College GameDay and a massive recruiting weekend for the South Carolina staff, including several local targets in the 2025 and 2026 cycles and also some national targets. The Gamecocks are getting some familiar names back on campus – Samari Matthews and in-state targets Jordon Gidron, Desmond Green, Jamel Howse, Donovan Murph, Zyon Guiles, Jaylen McGill and Malcolm Gaston. A great environment and strong showing on the field could yield major returns on the recruiting trail down the road.
