I feel a lot better about that group right now. “It was certainly an area of concern going into spring practice. Guys that we need to help on special teams that continue to show up on special teams as well. Everybody played on Saturday and guys continue to flash. They are all rotating through there and getting opportunities. Then, we have some younger guys behind them as well that are all getting work.
Like I said, Juju (McDowell), Mario (Anderson) and Dakereon are doing a nice job working with that top group. “I think we are getting everything out of them and they continue to compete,” Beamer said in a press conference on Tuesday. Head coach Shane Beamer has liked the progress he has seen from the running backs and ‘feels a lot better about that group right now.’ At running back, the Gamecocks only have three scholarship players on the roster which includes sliding wide receiver Dakereon Joyner over to the running back room. South Carolina has passed the halfway point and are through 10 of 14 spring practices leading up to the Garnet & Black Spring Game on April 15.Įntering the spring, the Gamecocks had a few positions that were limited number-wise, specifically at running back and EDGE. Asked if Hunter still has his Clemson stuff, dad chuckled, “He better not.” “He liked watching Clemson, I don’t want to go so far as to calling him a Clemson fan,” the elder Beamer said. Beamer said his son was a fan of Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence. Swinney shared a story of how Beamer asked him for some Clemson gear for 8-year-old Hunter Beamer, Shane’s son, when he was coaching at Oklahoma. Shipley said that’s different than the “jealousy and bad makeup in our room earlier this season.” The harmony was apparent last week when Kobe Pace ran for 191 yards and two TDs while Shipley gained 112 yards and two touchdowns. Shipley’s words gave insight into why running backs Lyn-J Dixon and Michael Dukes entered the transfer portal earlier this season. He said at that time some players were jealous of others and their playing time. “Times change and so do people.”Ĭlemson freshman tailback Will Shipley believes the running back room is much more cohesive than earlier in the season. He acknowledged that he does, though apparently doesn’t wear it.
South Carolina tight end Nick Muse, the younger brother of former Clemson safety Tanner Muse who played for the Tigers from 2016-19, was asked if he had any old Clemson gear around. Both were assistants and recruiting coordinators at their respective schools in the late 2000s. It was no surprise that Beamer answered back by praising how Swinney deserves the ACC coach of the year honors after leading his team back into contention after a poor start. We can’t waste energy focusing on that.”Ĭlemson’s Swinney said the job Shane Beamer’s done at South Carolina warrants attention for SEC coach of the year. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is keeping his players locked on South Carolina. The Tigers will know their fate before kickoff at South Carolina. 21 Wake Forest falls at Boston College on Saturday. 24 North Carolina State loses at North Carolina on Friday and No. It’s better when you win, that’s for sure.”Ĭlemson still has a shot at winning the ACC Atlantic if No.
“It’s fun to be a part of something like that. They’re going to talk about it at church, dinner, Thanksgiving and it’s just a part of the DNA of this state,” Swinney said. 21 Wake Forest 48-27, the only ranked win they have.Ĭlemson coach Dabo Swinney hated missing the rivalry game last year because of what it means to the people of the Palmetto State. The Tigers had their most complete showing of the season last Saturday as they walloped No. “We might be 9-2 heading into this,” he said.Ĭlemson also has reason for optimism with four straight wins after opening 4-3 and falling out of the Top 25 and the national picture. Yet, hope abounds among South Carolina supporters entering Saturday’s matchup due to their team’s improved play late and Clemson’s up-and-down season.īeamer’s Gamecocks have won three of the last five Southeastern Conference games including wins over Florida and Auburn.Ī bounce here, a tackle there and it could’ve been even better, South Carolina tight end Nick Muse said. 23 CFP) has gone 89-10, won two national championships, six Atlantic Coast Conference titles and made the College Football Playoff six times. Since South Carolina’s last rivalry win, Clemson (8-3 No.
