Beat, even competing with Georgia was going to be difficult enough for South Carolina. On Tuesday, head coach Shane Beamer announced it would be that much more difficult.

South Carolina announced linebacker Mohamed Kaba and defensive end Jordan Strachan would miss the remainder of the season earlier this week. Beamer announced that 5 Gamecocks are questionable for Week 3.

On a more positive note, Beamer also insinuated that DK Joyner and Darius Rush are likely to play Saturday.

The loss of Cam Smith hurts especially for the Gamecocks. He’s a strong presence in South Carolina’s secondary and will be needed against a talented group of Georgia wide receivers.
