Everything Shane Beamer said on Sunday
By Chris Clark
South Carolina football head coach Shane Beamer held his regularly scheduled teleconference on Sunday evening.
Below is a transcript of his remarks about the Gamecocks’ loss to Texas A&M and more:
OPENING STATEMENT: All right, going back to yesterday, very similar to what I said post-game, really proud of our guys. They played their butts off. Even more impressive going back and watching the tape, just the effort they played with. Obviously, the first quarter was a great start. Our guys were absolutely ready to play.
If you look at the first quarter, Texas A&M was 0 for 4 on third down. Our defense had a tackle for loss, hit the quarterback three times, and had two sacks in the first quarter alone. Offensively, we were up 7-0, I guess, and were 2 for 4 on third down.
