South Carolina won its 4th game of the season against Vanderbilt on Saturday 46-7.
The Gamecocks are one step closer to Beamer’s 3rd bowl game appearance.
Beamer opened the presser by thanking all the men and women who have served in the military with Veterans Day being on everyone’s mind.
Trey Knox didn’t play in the game and Beamer explained why that was. Beamer said that there was no need to do so with how well Joshua Simon has played as of late. If South Carolina used Knox, it would have been in the red zone.
Dakereon Joyner was listed as doubtful going into the next game for South Carolina. Beamer didn’t rule out Joyner potentially playing next week.
Beamer noted that Xavier Legette deserved a game ball. Legette became the 5th South Carolina wideout to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving in a season since Pharoh Cooper in 2014.
Lastly, Beamer emphasized the importance of Bam Martin-Scott in the game. Martin had 13 total tackles and 1 sack. Beamer said that after the Missouri game, he knew South Carolina needed its best athletes on the field to affect the quarterback.
Here’s some of Beamer’s comments from the presser:
Beamer opens his presser by thanking the military service men and women. Told the team if they needed any motivation on a cold, rainy day, just look to the upper deck (where military personnel were seated)#Gamecocks

Beamer: RB situation is critical. Today, he would say Joyner is doubtful to play next week, but that could change.
But whatever the case, going to have to look at Bradley Dunn and DJ Twitty as backups for Anderson and Braswell.

Beamer on #Gamecocks RB Dakereon Joyner: I’d say he’s doubtful for next week but it’s possible. I know he wants to get back and he’ll do everything in his power to get ready

Beamer says he keeps screwing up and not giving Xavier Legette a game ball (Legette became fifth WR in #Gamecocks history to eclipse 1,000 yards in a season and first since Pharoh Cooper in 2014)

Beamer on performance of #Gamecocks LB Bam Martin-Scott (13 tackles, sack): After Missouri, we knew we had to find a way to get our best athletes on the field and affect the QB and Bam fits that bill (got a game ball)
