Shane Beamer offers strong response to rumors about South Carolina play-calling in Tennessee game
South Carolina OC Marcus Satterfield hasn’t been too popular with the Gamecock fanbase during his time in Columbia. Satterfield’s unit, though, broke out in a big way Saturday night.
South Carolina’s 63 points against Tennessee are the most it has scored in an SEC game since 1995 in a win over 65-39 Mississippi State.
The Gamecock offense gained 606 yards in the win, scoring all 9 touchdowns. There are apparently rumors in online communities that Satterfield did not call the offensive plays in the game.
Speaking on his Sunday media teleconference, Beamer called the rumor “ridiculous.” The head coach confirmed Satterfield called every play.
Beamer asked about online rumblings that Marcus Satterfield wasn’t calling the plays last night:
“He called every single play. And that’s what kills me. Were these people on the headset?…That’s the most ridiculous thing we’ve ever heard.”

Satterfield’s critics are certainly hoping that his unit can find similar success against No. 7 Clemson on Saturday.
