Georgia State has caused some problems around the SEC in the few seasons. And by SEC, I mean Tennessee.

The Vols lost their season opener to the Bulldogs in 2019 to kick off Year 2 of the Jeremy Pruitt era. South Carolina, to its credit, avoided the same fate Saturday night by downing the Panthers 35-14.

And head coach Shane Beamer appeared to let Tennessee fans know it in a slight dig at the Volunteers postgame.

This isn’t the first time Beamer has brought up Tennessee’s loss to the Panthers.

South Carolina could have a solid squad this season. The pair of 2nd year coaches in Beamer and Josh Heupel face off on Nov. 19.

Tennessee took last year’s bout, 45-20.
