South Carolina enters the final month of the season with a 4-3 record. The Gamecocks are just two games away from bowl eligibility, but the final five games of the year certainly won’t be a piece of cake.

Under head coach Shane Beamer, the Gamecocks have been pretty good in November games with an 8-3 record during his tenure in Columbia. November is usually the separator between good and bad teams in the SEC. The five games against Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Wofford and Clemson will tell the country a lot about how good this team is.

“This team will be judged and remembered between now and November. We know we have five games left to finish the season and it’s all right there in front of us,” Coach Beamer said.

If history is any indicator, the Gamecocks have a chance to finish 3-2 or better, which certainly puts them in bowl territory. Wofford should be overmatched, but games against Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Missouri and Clemson will all be a challenge,

Staying focused on the games ahead will be key for South Carolina. Making sure each opponent gets their full attention is something Coach Beamer emphasized.

“It’s all about this week and having a 1-0 mentality,” Coach Beamer said.
