Examining another anemic Gamecocks offensive output

By Collyn Taylor

Shane Beamer stood at the podium and gave the standard answers as to why, yet again, the Gamecocks struggled to put up yards and points Saturday night. 

The Gamecocks once again looked hapless offensively, limping to a six-point, 237-yard performance in what was one of the more anemic offensive performances for South Carolina. 

“It obviously wasn’t right tonight, whatever we did schematically offensively and defensively,” Beamer said. “We have to look at why and be better over the next two games and the bowl game.”

South Carolina finished with six points, the lone score a 48-yard touchdown pass on a fake field goal. Kai Kroeger connected with Dakereon Joyner, who zipped through a confused Florida secondary for the score. 

It ended up the Gamecocks’ longest play from scrimmage and 20.3 percent of the total offensive output Saturday night. 

South Carolina finished with fewer than 240 yards of total offense for the second time this season and the fifth time since Beamer and offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield took over. 

Over a span of eight seasons, 2013 to 2020, the Gamecocks had the same number of games where the offense failed to eclipse 250 yards of offense All 10 of those games have been losses.
