His first Season with the Tigers drew attention, as Auburn couldn’t even make a bowl game prior to his arrival. Similar to South Carolina with Shane Beamer, the 2010 season would mark Gene Chizik’s 2nd season with Auburn. The Tigers were coming off an 8-5 record (one win better than Carolina) a 3-5 SEC record (the same as Carolina) and were ranked to finish in the middle of the pack at best in the SEC West. In 2010 the Auburn Tigers, sitting in a very similar situation as South Carolina, did the unthinkable. Although many expect this seemingly much improved South Carolina team to win several big games, the idea of winning a National Championship should be entirely out of the picture.Ī Cinderella championship season hasn’t occurred since the 80s. We expected some type of chaos down the stretch, I don’t think many thought it would come at the hands of South Carolina.No matter how well you expect the Gamecocks to perform this season, the idea of Carolina winning a National Championship seems a bit far-fetched. A huge night for the Gamecocks has now certainly helped a number of teams hoping to finish in the final four. If South Carolina has its way, they’ll do the same to Clemson’s playoff hopes next week when the two teams square-off. Now, the loser of the game in Columbus next weekend could still make a case for a playoff spot, if it’s a close one. Could Clemson now sneak into the playoffs? Sure, especially if TCU somehow drops a game in the next two weeks. We will now wait to see what the rankings look like on Tuesday, but a massive wrinkle has been thrown into the equation. But the impact of this game will be felt on the national scale for the whole week, considering Ohio State and Michigan play next weekend. The monumental game for the Gamecocks could turn into the spark Shane Beamer needed in year two, just like the Auburn and Florida wins were in 2021. South Carolina HC Shane Beamer Celebrates the touchdown over Tennessee In all, this was the chaos folks were hoping for, but many weren’t expecting it to come at the hands of Tennessee. Now, there is a clear path for the two-loss Tigers to make a playoff appearance if they can beat Texas A&M and then Georgia in Atlanta. This was the perfect night for LSU, who came into the weekend ranked 6th. What This Tennessee Loss Means For College Football Playoff Not only was this a massive win for the Gamecocks, but the College Football Playoff has now taken a turn down the road of madness. One of the biggest wins in program history for South Carolina looked easy for most of the night, leading 56-31 at the eleven minute mark of the fourth quarter. 3QgWlRXEdG- Trey Wallace November 20, 2022 Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker heads to the locker room, with a slow walk, not putting much pressure on leg.Ī fantastic season for Hooker, which hopefully doesn’t end in Columbia. Hooker did not return and went to the locker room in what looked to be a good amount of pain. Unfortunately for Tennessee, quarterback Hendon Hooker was hurt in the fourth quarter, going down and immediately grabbing his knee. VANDERBILT FANS ‘CALMLY’ STORM FIELD AFTER BEATING FLORIDA Tennessee was in the best position possible heading into the night, just outside the playoff’s top-four, but will now head to Vanderbilt for a game that could send them to the Sugar Bowl. The Vols defense looked horrible all night, giving up chunk plays to South Carolina all evening.

We’re just getting started here in Columbia,” Shane Beamer said following the win. Spencer Rattler had over 430 yards passing and six touchdowns.

Shane Beamer said all week that they just had a bad outing last week in Gainesville and his team proved him right on Saturday. There was absolutely nothing Tennessee could do to stop the Gamecocks offense, who scored on their first five possessions of the game. The best performance of the season from Rattler led to Shane Beamer picking up his biggest win at South Carolina, as fans stormed the field to celebrate the monumental 63-38 win. A massive night from Spencer Rattler and a dreadful performance from the Tennessee defense led to the Gamecocks upsetting the 5th ranked Vols Saturday night.
