Four games into the Shane Beamer Era, one thing has become abundantly and unfortunately clear for Gamecock fans: watching this offense brings about a serious case of deja-vu to the units Will Muschamp’s offensive staff rolled out. South Carolina is loitering near the bottom of the SEC in most major statistical categories — yards per game, rushing/passing yards per game, points per game, you name it — and to make matters worse, lowly Vanderbilt is the only team below USC in many of those areas.
As previously mentioned, it’s been just four games, and it takes a lot longer than that to clean up the oil spill of a disastrous coaching hire that was in place five years too long.
