The Gamecocks knocked off Jacksonville State on Saturday afternoon to go to 3-6 on the season; Beamer gave the latest on his team a day after the game.
OPENING STATEMENT: Going back and looking at the tape, really proud of our guys. It wasn’t pretty at times, that’s for sure. But no one panicked. And in the fourth quarter, we outscored them 10 to nothing. And against a good team, found a way to win it. Certainly want to – and I told our team today that, you know, a team that wasn’t mentally tough would probably have found a way to lose that game. And we found a way to win it at the end.
Certainly want to thank our fans. I know noon kickoffs aren’t the easiest, particularly for people traveling from a distance to get up here. But, you know, they, as always, created a great atmosphere. Had a high school prospect in my office this morning at 9 a.m., one of the best players in the entire country. And I asked him, you know, what did you think of the weekend? And the first thing he commented on was the atmosphere in the stadium yesterday and how amazing it was. And he was a guy that was here last year for the Georgia game. And he’s a guy that was here two years ago for the Florida game. So he’s seen this place. So thank our fans for that. I know that yesterday we’re happy about the win. Certainly going to celebrate victories around here.
