Disappointed with both sides of the ball. Was sellers told not to run when he had an open field?

[Andrew-mphu]

Regardless, I’m proud of our guys. Let’s build on this season and get into the CFP next year.

Thanks Beamer and Co., for giving tens of thousands of us SC alumni a wonderful season!

[cmetze]

Thank you all for a fun year! We're disappointed for you, but go forward from here with your heads held high. You know who you are as men, you know what you accomplished, you know you are loved by Gamecock nation! Thanks to all!

[DisabusingTheLeft]

We need a reliable kicker. Period! That accounted for 3 of our 4 losses this year. But still proud of how this year turned out. The future is bright. GO COCKS!!!

[kandyusc]

I am still excited to see what next season brings. There’s a lot of potential to be seen in the future. Go Cocks!!

[MichaelSanders-dk]

I’m an Illinois fan, but I respect the hell out of this coach. He’s truly a class act and a great role model for his staff and players 👍

[zwDuckPresident]

Ride or die!!! We’re with you and the team, coach!

[Rznky]

We went 9-4 this season. Proud to have Beamer as our coach. We had so much life this season as a program and I couldn't even imagine it coming in. Proud of our guys and our coaches!

[BrantleyWalling]

Thank you Beamer and thank you Sellers for an awesome season. We are indeed just getting started!! Go Cocks!!! 🤙🏽🐔

[jeffreyblanton]

We definitely need to get some money together to pay a kicker. No excuse on that one. On a high note Adaway played pretty well and we got to watch a battle between 2 really good teams that played a better game than any of the playoff games so far. I’m pretty excited to see what we can do next year.

[larryburwell]

congrats to our team for a great season.

tbh this is the best thing that could have happened going into spring and fall for sellers. i'd rather he fall short now and learn something that drives him forward than never be humbled and then get beat during the season

[Whatsitsname]

Lesson learned.. Beamer, Sellars and all the other gamecocks had a great fantastic year. Learned the hard lesson yesterday still a gamecock fan and they'll be back next year watch the film. It'll be ugly, but you guys are better than what you did yesterday next year's gonna be phenomenal believing yourself keep working hard

[allisonbennett]

This was a hard pill to swallow, put I’m so proud of our guys this season they played extremely well, Yes we have some work to do and I know our alumni is disappointed but they need to remember we had a great season this year, overall so proud of ya’ll

[camoproductions]

Disappointed with the outcome of this game but excited for what next season has to offer! Let’s get it boys!

[williamjamison]

Our Best defensive player doesent play the second half and it’s an “internal matter”? lol need some answers on that

[royr]

Great season coach! Looking forward to next season!

[centerlaneband-columbiasc]

Great season!!! I really didn’t think we could get 5 wins before the season started. Beamer is the man. And we’ll be better for this, lessons learned for the young players.

[evilcoleslaw]

I guess Bielema cleared it with the Big XII officials he was going to use the entire play clock to sub on defense?

[eyeandmind]

When they took Sellers out of running, you never adjusted. They made Sellers beat them by passing and he still had to develop his passing. The low throw in 4th down can’t be missed like that.
