Shane Beamer addresses loss at Arkansas, delivers grim injury news
Shane Beamer and South Carolina will try and bounce back after the Arkansas loss, 44-30, in a game in which the Gamecocks on defense at one point were down 3 starters.
The Gamecocks were in an early hole, and Spencer Rattler rallied South Carolina from an early 21-3 deficit in part with a 62-yard touchdown pass to Antwane Wells, Jr. midway through the third quarter.
Mo Kaba and Jordan Strachan, who suffered injuries, will be examined in Columbia, Beamer said, but added “It doesn’t look good.”
Cam Smith, though, Beamer said he should be fine after he suffered an upper body injury.
Here are the rest of his comments:
Beamer: Impressed with Arkansas and the physicality but he thought his guys played physical as well. Their depth was tested by all the injuries prior to and in the game. #Gamecocks

Beamer said they felt good about chances to throw ball, but hot to be able to run, but lined matchups in passing game today. #Gamecocks

Beamer says early in the game he didn’t feel like the defense was lined up quickly enough with Arkansas playing up-tempo, said he thinks that factored into the Hogs’ early success on the ground.

Beamer: I thought the offensive line did a good. I thought we protected well for the most part.

Beamer: Proud of our football team the way we fought and battled. Obviously we can’t turn the ball over, especially in the fourth quarter.

Zacch Pickens had 12 tackles today. Beamer said he was an animal out there.
In his first collegiate start, safety Nick Emmanwori had 11 tackles and a QB hurry.
