They got a new OL coach, as that unit was a disaster last year, and brought in 9 OL from the portal, a JUCO signee, and 4 HS signees.

If Sellers stays healthy and the OL gels this could be a 9-10 win playoff dark horse team

…a 10 win team? So the same SC Gamecocks lead by the human hot seat is only going to lose 2 of:
@ Bama
@ Florida
@ OU
@ Clemson
Georgia
A&M
Tennessee

I’ll have what he’s having.

Sisyphus is a Carolina fan.

They'll do what they always do. Win a game or two they they shouldn't, put the fear of God into two others, and lose three that makes no sense to anyone.

7-5.

Did you see my prediction for Missouri? 5-7. I am hoping for a change by the end of this year so that the offense won't be running the Gus Malzahn system again.

Yep Beamer goes 7-5 and retains his job.

Thas if things really click but it’s a stretch for sure

I think 8/9 wins easily achievable

Georgia A&M Tennessee
probably lose to UGA but can beat Aggy and Tenner at home

So 2-1

quote:

@ Bama @ Florida @ OU @ Clemson


@ bama and @ou will likely
Be losses

But Uf and Clemson are terrible likely go 2-2 in those

4-3 and if the can win the other 5 games they can go 9-3

I do think they have a chance to be good.

Briles will do great with their QB. It’s a perfect fit

Clemson got a steal with Chad Morris as the OC there.

Depends who the losses are. 7-5 is a tough sell after last year's debacle. This is the most talented team he's had, and the best coaching staff, on paper. Beamer needs a scalp this season. He needs a big win over Bama or UGA to feel comfortable. Might could put aTm in that category depending on how good they are, but that one is at home, and SC has the last two in Columbia.

Little Beamer is not his daddy, and consistency is the hallmark of greatness. I could go on, but it's SC.

Didn't I see that Sellers isn't taking any classes this semester, just doing his sports management "internship" at a local driving range where he'll be "picking up balls and cutting grass"?

South Carolina surprises us all every season as to how the dumpster catches on fire in new and exciting ways.

Youre wrong brother. Beamer brings in talent and retains the talent he brings in. We (the true SC fans) want the playoffs this year and ultimately him to stay.

You idiots always want the coach fired.Look how hard it was for programs like FLA,AU ETC.had getting a coach.THEY went for the gold,LK, and got their 2nd teamers.USCe isn’t even on the level of prestige of those schools,so what makes you think you will end up with a better coach than what you have.
