Shane Beamer was the first to admit it. Jaheim Bell needs more targets for South Carolina football.

Missouri dismantled South Carolina and took home the Mayor’s Cup because the Gamecocks were unable to get anything going on offense. Would Bell have single-handily fixed that problem? Likely not. But he would have at least given the Gamecocks a pulse in what was a truly awful offensive performance.

Beamer addressed the issue Tuesday, saying it falls on the coaches to get the right personnel in there for every circumstance.

Bell, a widely talented tight end with enough size to outmatch opponents, has just 13 receptions for 157 yards this season. As stated above, he was not targeted once in South Carolina’s 23-10 loss.
