Shane Beamer enters his sixth season as the Gamecocks’ head coach in 2026. He took part in SEC football media days on Tuesday in Tampa, Florida and reflected on the 2022 Tennessee-South Carolina contest.
"That was a great night back in 2022," Beamer said. "There's no doubt about it. We know it will be a huge challenge when they come to town this year. Another one, I got asked about playing Georgia again. It's been weird not playing Tennessee the last couple of years, so it will be great having Tennessee back on the schedule this season, too, along with Florida. Three old SEC East opponents and rivals for South Carolina.
"Got a ton of respect for coach (Josh) Heupel and the way he does things. We know he's going to have a really good team coming to town. I was so impressed just watching SEC media day yesterday, the three players that he brought. I mean, so impressed with those three guys just as people and some of their comments for sure. No, that will be a big one when we get to that one, and hopefully we can have the offensive output that we had the last time they were in town."
