Shane Beamer shares honest reaction when he saw Tennessee put up 62 points last week
Shane Beamer knew he had a tall order this week against Tennessee even leading up to last week’s South Carolina game against Troy. Then Tennessee walloped Missouri, 62-24, on the road.
During an appearance on Sirius XM College, Beamer offered his honest reaction.
“I was nervous enough last week before we got ready to play Troy,” Beamer said. “Tennessee played at noon, so I saw the score before our game, and was like ‘Oh boy.’ Let’s see if we can win this one and then obviously they were clicking on all cylinders last Saturday against Missouri.”
Beamer added that Tennessee is improving, and the defense is stopping teams, including a good offense in Missouri. Beamer again recalled that while Tennessee wants to go fast offensively, the Vols are comfortable doing it running the ball, “down your throat.” He also noted that Tennessee leads the SEC in first downs.
Beamer also said running for as many yards, and scoring as many points is rarely done against an SEC team.
“It’ll be a big challenge for our guys, but I’m excited about the group we’re taking to Knoxville, and looking forward to going and competing.” @GamecockFB HC @CoachSBeamer previews the matchup against Tennessee with @ChildersRadio and @CoachNeuheisel on Full Ride. pic.twitter.com/L67qZ792DQ

It’s really pretty funny to see all the play that score is receiving. It’s just one game but we will take all the positive sunshine on the program we can get. It’s been a while. Would be great to do it 3 games in a row which is actually possible. Not probable but possible.
What you want is to get back to when beating bad teams means nothing.
I just hope it’s still worth watching in the second half. I think if we can avoid being trucked early, this team will gain confidence and has been better in the 4th Q. It would be nice to keep the fans on the edge of those tiny seats until the end.
I’ve seen plenty of beatdowns as long as they continue to fight ill watch. Last years that wasn’t the case they gave up when losing so the game got turned off.
Right there with you. Last year was the first, and hopefully last, time I would turn games off.

He’s still looking for his run game…lol.
Our D is good enough to keep it respectful but we just don’t have anything on offense to do anything. My guess is TENN by about 2 TDs.
I think UT has this one. But they better not let last week make them over confident.
@Shane Beamer, relax, what you saw last week @ Missouri vs Tennessee was not a real football score. It was a completely in competent DL coach, a completely incompetent line backer coach, a completely incompetent pass coverage coach all operating under an in competent DC. But even worse you saw about 45 quitters in Missouri uniforms on the defensive side of the ball and the Missouri offsnse wasn’t ahead of them either. Thank Tou Barry Odom, we fired you two years too late. Coach Drinkwitz it way past time for you to hire an OC and start supervising your DCs every move
I feel your pain brother. We at South Carolina suffered through some disheartening defensive performances under Muschamp. Poor, poor tackling and the worst just flat out quitting. I joked with a buddy that Mizzu must have gotten a seminar from Muschamp on tackling and effort last week. The thing this year is our D is having fun and flying to the ball all sixty minutes – SO refreshing win or lose. That said, I think we have a “shot” at beating UT. Limit possessions, RUN the dang ball ( ughh don’t get me started). We will need to score 4 offensive touchdowns I think to be in this game. Honestly – haven’t seen an offense for USC this year (yet) that can do that. Wish us well and keep your chin up things do get better.
Us Vol fans have been threw the ringer for years now so don’t think we don’t know how you feel..The wins over Mizzou and SC were great to see but not ready to say we’re back..We will see what TN is made of next Saturday against ol miss we beat them then we have some bragging rights..
