Here’s what Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer had to say following the game:d.n.t.
Opening Statement:
“Obviously a great college football game. Congrats to Alabama. They made more plays than we did at the end. Proud of the fight of our team coming down here, and no one was surprised by our performance. We expected this. We competed our butts off. All three facets. Everybody expected to win the football game, came up a little bit short at the end, but really, really proud of our guys. Credit to Alabama, like I said, coming off the loss the last week that they had and then going into halftime, we had momentum, and then they came back out and made more plays than we did in the second half.”
Q: Shane, again, I believe LaNorris [Sellers] played pretty well pre turnover.
“Yeah, he can’t go on the road in the SEC and turn over the ball.”
says that every week’s different. And I mean, just, you know, people can put lines of what they want talk about us how they want to talk about us. It’s amazing to me, from Kentucky, the way we perform. What you know, the perception of our team was really, really high, and then we had a crappy performance last Saturday, and all of a sudden the narrative is we ain’t worth a crap. And that’s not the case, we had a bad game last week. We played bad. We performed bad. We coached bad. Like against Ole Miss. I mean, we aren’t a bad team, so we expected to win this game. Nobody was like coming in here at halftime doing cartwheels because we were in a in a tight game with Alabama. We we expected that, because we have a good football team. Life in this conference is really, really hard. There’s really good teams you play week in, week out. So it says that we have a good team that competes their [redacted] off. Excuse my language, kids, and that’s what we did today, and came up a little bit short. It says we had a bad day last week that we regrouped from, because we got a bunch of fighters in that room that love to compete, love to work. And I hurt for them, and that’s what I told them in the locker room, fact is I’ve hurt for them because we’re sick of this feeling, and they work too hard during the week to come in here on Saturdays and feel like that in that locker room across that wall right there as well.”
Q: Coach, can you go over what that two-point play was?
“It was a play where we had a decent idea of what they were going to be in. They’ve had a couple two point plays this year. They’ve played a couple different coverages in their two point play situations. One’s more of a zone, one’s more of a max blitz cover zero type look. So we got the play that we thought was going to be good on both of them. I haven’t seen the replay of it, but from what I was told, we didn’t play with great technique and didn’t block it great, but had a couple guys open. We just gave a little bit of pressure there, unfortunately.”
