We’ve heard from several analysts about how complicated Satterfields offense is. Rattler even said post game they need to improve on “knowing what to do”. Yet Josh Heupels unit is torching people. His is more simple, faster, quick to learn. So players play fast and confident. And most importantly portal guys can plug in immediately and play.

The days of offensive players needing 2-3 years to become competent in a system and waiting their turn are over. But some OCs are still determined to show their genius level thru hyper complex playbooks. College football doesnt work that way anymore. Tennessee could take a portal QB and within a month he can run the offense

Yes, finally this is what I wanted to see all along!!We got some glimpses of being a good team : a threat on special teams, attacking defense in creating turnovers , Rattler hitting open players with consistently for TDs, watching Dk Joyner coming in to give that change of pace and a big play running game with guys not named M.Lloyd and most importantly getting talented player makers like R.Bell the ball. Now , that is what I call Beamer ball.

Gamecocks will play Wake Forest in Columbia on Saturday at 6:00 pm, hopefully about the same time that Billy Napier is pulling Anthony Richardson after his 4th INT.

Flip contenders: South Carolina, Texas

Austin (Texas) Westlake four-star wide receiver Jaden Greathouse committed to Notre Dame over the summer, but has maintained communication with a pair of top contenders. South Carolina made a stronger push than maybe some may have known the first time around and have stayed persistent in his recruitment. Texas has remained in the picture, but the likelihood of a flip is decreasing by the week. I see Greathouse sticking with Notre Dame in the end.

Just Darius Rush, Kai Kroeger and Shane Beamer today.

A look here heading into late November:

That was a bad trip to the woodshed. Their D line just dominated our O line and they whipped us in every way it could be done. But next Saturday we’ll line up again and see how we respond to a whipping.

Greetings from Colonial Life Arena, wher I am sitting courtside to cover the women's basketball season opener tonight.

Let's do it!

One to watch out for:

With the season set to tip-off tonight, @Stephen Anderson has a preview of the non-con schedule for you. @Alan Cole will be around with a live thread for the action tonight from CLA.

Late afternoon kickoff for South Carolina in its week 11 game at Florida.

Florida leads the all-time series by a 29-10-3 margin, including a 14-2 advantage when the game has been played in The Swamp. South Carolina dominated last year’s contest in Columbia, winning in a 40-17 rout. The Gamecocks last win in Gainesville came in the 2014 season, a 23-20 overtime win.

The Gamecocks (5-3, 2-3 SEC) will play in Nashville against the Vanderbilt Commodores (3-5, 0-4 SEC) this week, while Florida (4-4, 1-4 SEC) is at Texas A&M (3-5, 1-4 SEC).

Here is the entire SEC television slate for games of Saturday, Nov. 12:

Texas A&M at Auburn 7:30 ET SEC NETWORK

*Network will be determined after games of November 5.

My thoughts on the WBB exhibition tonight, including some videos of the action and some Dawn Staley quotes if you missed it.

If he made those changes and coached them up for the Mayo Bowl, then I don’t want to lose him to another school.

Any naysayers want to change your minds? BTW, I also wasn’t too sure about his capabilities either.

The redshirt junior got the boot after taking a swing at a UGA running back on Saturday. I believe he was already on thin ice prior. In eight games, he has 35 tackles, 2 sacks and 9 quarterback hurries.

He was one of the Gators best LBs.

on Saturday, I definitely would not want to be Beamer.

We already posted about the Women's Soccer defeated previously unbeaten in SEC play Alabama, to capture the SEC Tournament Title. The girls are playing their best soccer at the right time of the season. Meanwhile, the men improved this year although it is just barely reflected in the final record. They saw their season come to an end in the Sun Belt Tournament after giving top seeded Kentucky all they could handle.

MENS SOCCER

FROM USC

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The South Carolina men’s soccer team closed out its season Sunday night (Nov. 6), as the Gamecocks (5-8-4) fell to No. 2 ranked and top-seeded Kentucky (12-0-5) 2-1 in the opening round of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

Kentucky held a 16-6 advantage in shots and a 9-3 advantage in shots on goal. Carolina keeper Ben Alexander finished with seven saves in the match.

The Gamecocks jumped out an early lead on the Wildcats when Adam Luckhurst scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season in the 16th minute. It was the first time this season that Kentucky has trailed in a match. Henry Weigand cleared the ball out of the defensive zone to a sprinting Ethan Dekel Daks. He dribbled up the middle of the field, before flicking the ball out to the right to Luckhurst, who out-ran his defender, and struck it into the upper right 90 to beat the Wildcat goalkeeper. It was the first assist of the season for both Weigand and Dekel Daks.

Carolina held on to its lead coming out of halftime, before Kentucky scored in the 59th minute when a shot deflected off another UK player and found the back of the net. They would net the game-winner in the 75th minute off a shot from the middle of the 18-yard box.

Two minutes later the Gamecocks nearly tied it again, but Bryce Griffith’s shot was saved. South Carolina had one final opportunity with under two minutes to play, but the header by William Nilsson sailed over the cross bar.

VOLLEYBALL

In 2021, Carolina finished the regular season 14-14 and 6-12 in the SEC.

This week South Carolina dropped a midweek match to Arkansas and then split a pair of matches with Ole Miss over the weekend. South Carolina is 11-12 overall and 5-8 in the SEC. The Gamecocks have 5 matches left in the regular season. Two with a struggling Alabama team in Tuscaloosa, a midweek match with a pretty good Auburn team, and then two with Kentucky. Carolina probably needs to finish 3-2 to make the NCAA Tournament.

Hardesty’s pitch to Scott on the Gamecocks: “He was definitely telling me about how great coach Shane Beamer is and how he has developed the kids, and how the kids care about the program and all that good stuff. (Hardesty) was also just telling me about the crowd and how the environment is one of the best game environments that you'll probably see in college football. I was just hearing great things in that sense,” Scott said.

Scott suffered a fractured fibula, but his road to recovery has been successful: His mindset heading into the Tigers’ 40-20 walloping over the Knights: “My mindset was just to play how I normally play, don’t let the injury affect me. I’ve healed so I can get to it, I’ve been practicing pretty hard, and I’m pretty confident that I can do whatever I need to do, and that’s the main thing,” he said.

In the victory that signed, sealed, and delivered Stockbridge’s bid to state playoffs, Scott dominated in limited action, recording two touchdowns and 36 yards on five carries, totaling an average of 7.2 yards per tote

I asked him on impact that other Peach State backs provide as he considers Gamecocks during recruitment process: Other than obvious aspects Scott enjoys about South Carolina including the program’s culture that includes a team that plays for one another rather than just ‘playing to play,’ the coaching staff, stadium, and campus, he also pointed out the Gamecocks’ ability to develop Peach State backs such as 1980 Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers, recent All-SEC graduate Kevin Harris, current contributor JuJu McDowell, and others.

Gamecocks in top group alongside former Tobacco Road ACC Rivals, Arizona State, Rutgers: “Yes sir, I definitely think about the process of developing a back. So just seeing notable names, that definitely makes a big impact. It gives me something to look at,” Scott said.

As far as his recruitment, more schools have shown Scott ‘love’ with offers and interest, but right now, he’s focused on a main group including Arizona State, Rutgers, South Carolina, and Wake Forest.

After 4-26 tenure
