I am so tired of Beamer’s…
- Thread starter Thunderstick
- Start date
Today, he gets a pass. LSU is a great team, full of NFL players. Beamer and his staff had the team ready. This was gonna be a battle and it was, both teams made great and awful plays
WE OUT DUELED THEM and won the game, however, officials decided to step in and change the outcome. Even Dawn Staley spoke out on it. Im proud of todays effort.
Dawn Staley reacts to South Carolina's loss to LSU, takes shot at officials
Dawn Staley had some words about South Carolina's somewhat controversial 36-33 loss to the LSU Tigers on Saturday.

Im just sayin, USC out dueled LSU today. If not for the referee w a gambling problem who bet on LSU -7, we win 40-something to 33. The plays happened, the 2 pick 6s happened. The 100 yd pick 6 ended the game, 11 point lead only a few minutes to play. But similar to 2002 Miami vs Ohio St, the referee decided he wasnt taking that loss and threw a flag.
There are no moral victories. Fewer mistakes and we win. Nevertheless, we actually looked prepared (!), we played well for most of the game, largely stayed composed, we responded when LSU scored.
Just came up short and missed a few opportunities. What would kill me as a coach is knowing that we would have won easily if we played a relatively clean game.

1. LSU is not a “great” team.
2. We did not “out duel” them hence…
3. We did not “win” the game.
4. The omnipresent Gamecock mantra, “We lost because of the refs” has long ago become meaningless.
5. “Even Dawn Staley spoke out on it.” Seriously?
It’s clear to me you’re a youngster and have not experienced Gamecock football for very long. Steve Spurrier would have called you out if he had heard you say “I’m proud of today’s effort.”
Yeah... thev "even DS" thing was the kicker. Like she hasnt ever said stupid **** before.
If Nick`s pick 6 stands, we win, we are 3-0, ranked next week, on the way to a bowl. Can`t blame Beamer for that. We would have been up by 11, pretty much over. Yes there were other plays but if our guy just blocks and doesn`t rough... hate to criticize him because he has made so many great plays this year. It is what it is. I just feel for the team.
Yes they are. They may not be elite but they are a top 20 team with multiple first rounders and other NFL picks. We did out duel them. If not for this corrupt officiating crew, we score 40+, the plays happened.
I understand and agree that a typical loss with a few questionable calls, you dont blame refs. But fans across America have chimed in on how we got robbed today.
This isnt a moral victory where we celebrate almost beating a better team. We WERE better today. We scores 45 points, but referees literally erased 12. And maybe the horse collar, one could argue was legit. The 100 yd pick 6 clearly was a corrupt call. He blocked him witth the palms of his hands on a shoulder, on a QB running to make a tackle.
This crew has had constant complaints from other LSU opponents in recent years.
Yep game was over, we had just won it. And the officiating crew w a gambling secret decided they were going to reopen the contest.
Really? Tell me, who are these refs that have “had constant complaints from other LSU opponents in recent years?”
Link?
“If Nick’s pick,” “we would have been,” “if our guy just blocks”
My God man, listen to yourself.
Without him we have much less history than we have now (which isn’t much)
You are embarrassing yourself now. We got the ball with the lead in the fourth quarter off of the int. The points from the pick six weren't needed to get us a lead. Also, you are assuming a 40-33 score would have been the final score. There is no telling what might have happened. LSU could have had a kick return for a td or a pick six of their own later. If the pick six had been on the final play of the game and given us the win your silliness would make a little more sense.
And cut and run as soon as his failures started to show! QUITTER
Every year, every loss, the same ole mantra

Legit worst job I've ever seen from the officials in my memory... I still can't believe it... Even as a GC fan
Well, look, it would be a mistake to conclude that we played as well late as we did early. If we had, we would have won the doggone game anyway.
The refs did do a bad job. That is an objectively true statement. We did not play as well as the game went on as we did to start. Also an objectively true statement.
Our DL was causing them more problems earlier in the game but they seemed to adjust to it somewhat and we really didn't pressure the QB much later in the game.
Also, we simply left points on the field. Seller's pick took 3 points of the board. When they fumbled the ball late in the game at their own 24 yard line, we settled for 0 yards gained and kicked a FG. That's 4 more potential points off the board. Also, to end the half, we completed a long pass to get us on the fringe of FG range. We needed to pick up about 5 yards to get in FG range, but went incomplete pass, incomplete pass, sack, sack. There were 3 more potential points.
Our offense also was unable to even burn much clock late in the game when we were clinging to our lead. If we could have managed to pick up a couple first downs, at least, that could have been enough to seal the deal.

I have also become used to our kickers making 49 yard FGs.
This is the best, most rational take on the game I have seen here. The bad calls didn't lose the game, there were many other plays that weren't made over the course of the game that lost the game.
True. We seemed to really have a hard time tackling the whole game.
How deep into the game was our last SUSTAINED scoring drive? I think the answer to that question tells the critical thinker all he needs to know.
Actually, when Sanders ripped off his big run for a TD, I told my wife "that was great, but it would have been better if we could have used some clock first". She said something to the effect of "there's no pleasing you" but I just sensed the game was dragging on too long for us to keep hanging on.
It is worth noting that we did much better on the explosive plays than we have in the past, but we didn't do much in the way of sustained drives.
How much of that was just a product of the way the game was going vs our inability to sustain drives, we don't know yet. There were really no sustained drives in the 2nd half for either team, so it just seemed to be that kind of game.
We're going to look back on this season as one where we absolutely WASTED - because of an inept offense - a pretty good defensive squad.
We'll see. The offense looked pretty good until Sellers went down. If he stays in, we win the game.
However, historically, hasn't it seemed to most always be the case that if we have a season with a dynamic offense, the defense is terrible, but if we have a great defense, the offense is anemic?
Many defensive lapses. Run play to the left and nobody home. They were getting chunk plays. Even if we went up 11, they would have scored quick with us in prevent, made two point conversion and stopped us 3 and put. Got the ball with 1:12 and who knows the finish. We don’t close well.
Your statement "clinging to our lead" brought back memories of the Holtz era where if he had a small lead even early in the fourth quarter he'd start running up the middle three times, punt, and pray the defense would hold.
Phantom offensive pass interference on Ashford's long completion late. The horse collar call and unsportsmanlike on Kennard, the latter of which I believe was intentionally called that so it couldn't be reviewed instead of something that *could* be reviewed, have been discussed ad nauseum, not only here but nationally.
The officials most definitely DID decide the outcome of the game.
