Shane Beamer exhausted his only option on Saturday night. South Carolina had just lost a heartbreaker to LSU — once up 17, the Gamecocks gave up the game-winning touchdown with just over a minute to play — and much of the game’s story centered on officiating.

After a couple days to put the LSU game behind them, South Carolina Gamecocks' head coach Shane Beamer met with the media to discuss his team's upcoming night game vs Akron. While at the podium, Coach Beamer was asked about some of the SEC's responses to the penalties from Saturday as well as what he would like to see from his team entering next week's bye.

Days after South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers ’ left the LSU game with what coach Shane Beamer called an “ankle sprain,” Beamer updated the health status of his starting quarterback. During his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Beamer said, “LaNorris assured me he is good and ready to roll.”
