Just call it Beamer Ball II: Expect the unexpected when Shane Beamer's South Carolina squad takes the field against Notre Dame for Friday's taxslayerbowl in Jacksonville.
In other words, expect the unexpected against the most recent version of Beamer Ball .
Beamer touched on another reason why the Irish might face some wrinkles in the Gamecocks’ offense and kicking game: South Carolina lost more than a dozen players to the transfer portal and opting out for the NFL draft, including three of its four tight ends, including No. 3 receiver Jaheim Bell and leading rusher MarShawn Lloyd.
But consider the diversity: 15 South Carolina players have had carries from scrimmage, including five wide receivers, two tight ends and one carry by current long snapper Hunter Rogers, who was the holder on a fake field goal and picked 5 yards for a first down on a fake field goal against Georgia State.
In the Gamecocks' 63-38 victory over Tennessee, Joyner scored two touchdowns rushing, gained 21 yards on six carries, caught two passes for 13 yards and completed a pass for 15 yards.
