South Carolina is coming off its best offensive performance of the year, a 56-20 walloping of the 49ers where the Gamecocks put up almost 550 yards of offense and rushed for five yards shy of 300 on the ground.
“We needed that from an offensive standpoint. When you run the ball as effectively as we did tonight it makes things so much in the passing game,” Shane Beamer said. “That was an efficient offense tonight. That’s what we expect. I told MarShawn (Lloyd) in there I don’t care if it’s Georgia, Charlotte or whoever. That’s how we need to play football around here.”
