🏈 24-Team College Football Playoff Expansion: Is This GREAT News for South Carolina and Shane Beamer?! The College Football Playoff could be expanding to 24 teams , and the future of college football may never look the same. But while the proposed expansion has plenty of critics, could it actually be one of the BEST things to happen to South Carolina football? On this bonus episode of Locked On Gamecocks , host Chris Marler reacts to reports of a potential 24-team College Football Playoff, explains why the SEC and Big Ten are driving major changes across college football, and breaks down what an expanded postseason could mean for Shane Beamer and the South Carolina Gamecocks. Chris isn't happy about the direction college football is heading. But there's a surprising reason why this change could be exactly what South Carolina needs. 🔥 Topics in Today's Episode: 🏆 24-Team College Football Playoff Expansion: Why is the playoff potentially expanding again? What would the proposed format look like, and how would 19 at-large bids change the postseason? 😡 Is College Football Ruining Its Regular Season? Chris explains why expanding the playoff could diminish the importance of regular-season games, hurt bowl season, and fundamentally change what makes college football special. 🔥 The SEC vs. Big Ten Power Struggle: Has the SEC given up too much leverage? We discuss nine-game conference schedules, strength of schedule, and why the lack of consistent scheduling standards could create even more controversy. 🐔 Why South Carolina Could Be a HUGE Winner: Would the Gamecocks have made previous 24-team playoffs? Could an expanded field give South Carolina a legitimate opportunity to compete for the postseason almost every year? 👀 What This Means for Shane Beamer: Could playoff expansion change expectations for Beamer and the South Carolina program? We discuss recruiting advantages, financial stability, coaching pressure, and the possibility of building sustained success in Columbia. 💰 The Business of College Football: From conference realignment and NIL to television revenue and the transfer portal, are college football's decision-makers putting money ahead of the fans? 🏟️ Could South Carolina Host a Playoff Game at Williams-Brice Stadium? Imagine a December College Football Playoff matchup in Columbia. An expanded postseason could make that possibility much more realistic. THE BIG QUESTION: Is a 24-team College Football Playoff GOOD or BAD for South Carolina? Would you rather preserve the importance of the regular season, or give the Gamecocks more opportunities to compete for a national championship? 👇 GAMECOCK FANS — LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS! 👍 LIKE this video if you enjoy South Carolina football coverage! 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to Locked On Gamecocks for daily Gamecocks news, SEC football analysis, Shane Beamer updates, recruiting coverage, and college football playoff discussions. 🎙️ Locked On Gamecocks — Your Team.

Can South Carolina football actually fix its problems before the 2026 season completely gets away from Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks? SEC Network analyst and former Florida Gators star Chris Doering joins Locked On Gamecocks to break down what has gone wrong for South Carolina, what needs to change immediately, and whether this team is really as far away as its SEC record suggests. South Carolina’s offense has actually produced at a much higher level than many expected, but costly mistakes continue to kill drives. Meanwhile, a defense that was expected to be one of the strengths of this team has become arguably its biggest problem. Chris Marler and Chris Doering discuss the Gamecocks’ defensive breakdowns, missed assignments, Nick Harbor, LaNorris Sellers, questionable fourth-down decisions, Shane Beamer’s job security and why Doering believes Beamer has NOT lost the locker room. Then, we dive deeper into Clayton White and the South Carolina defense. After years of strong defensive play under White, the Gamecocks have suddenly fallen near the bottom of the SEC in several major categories. Does Shane Beamer need to consider a major change on his staff? Could someone else eventually take over defensive play-calling? And what can actually be fixed before the upcoming Florida game and bye week? 🏈 On today’s Locked On Gamecocks: Chris Doering explains what is wrong with South Carolina The biggest thing the Gamecocks must fix immediately Why South Carolina keeps beating itself Has Shane Beamer lost the locker room? Why the defense has become USC’s biggest concern Clayton White’s future and defensive play-calling LaNorris Sellers, Nick Harbor and offensive execution How South Carolina can attack Florida Can the Gamecocks turn their season around? What changes could be coming during the bye week? Is South Carolina actually fixable—or are bigger changes coming in Columbia?

Is Shane Beamer’s job actually safe at South Carolina? After another brutal loss — this time against Kentucky — South Carolina fans are understandably asking what comes next for Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks. But new reporting suggests Beamer’s future in Columbia may be far more secure than anyone expected, even after a disastrous 2–3 start. On today’s Locked On Gamecocks, Chris Marler breaks down the latest surrounding Beamer’s job security, the massive financial commitment South Carolina could face if it decided to make a coaching change, and why firing Beamer may not be nearly as realistic as some fans believe. Then we go back inside the Kentucky loss and look at some absolutely baffling numbers. South Carolina is leading the SEC in rushing, averaging 256 yards per game on the ground and 6.53 yards per carry. The Gamecocks have dramatically reduced the number of sacks allowed and rank near the top of the conference in total offense — yet somehow they’re 2–3 after blowing another double-digit lead. How does a team putting up those numbers keep losing? Chris breaks down the questionable decisions, abandoned running game, fourth-down calls, LaNorris Sellers’ performance, South Carolina’s turnover problems and why this team continues to find ways to lose games it appears capable of winning. Plus: Is the problem bigger than any one player or coordinator? Can Beamer fix it? And what does South Carolina’s remaining SEC schedule mean for the future of the program? Topics include: 🏈 Shane Beamer’s job security 🐔 South Carolina vs. Kentucky reaction 💰 The potential cost of firing Beamer 📊 Shocking South Carolina offensive statistics 🔥 Gamecocks leading the SEC in rushing 🤯 Another blown double-digit lead 🎯 LaNorris Sellers and the offense 📉 Turnovers and defensive struggles 👀 What comes next for South Carolina football?

Three South Carolina players are ON THE CLOCK against Kentucky — and could Cutter Woods finally get his opportunity at quarterback? ⏰🐔 South Carolina returns to Williams-Brice Stadium for a massive matchup against Kentucky, and Chris Marler breaks down the Gamecocks who need to deliver in a game Shane Beamer and USC desperately need to win. We start with J’Zavien Currence, who could have a major role against a Kentucky offense built around getting the football out quickly and attacking the perimeter. Then, is it time for Justin Okoronkwo to become the unquestioned leader of the South Carolina defense? His speed and athleticism could be critical against the Wildcats. Offensively, keep an eye on Matt Fuller. South Carolina has quietly been one of the most effective rushing teams in the country, while Kentucky has struggled to stop the run. Could the Gamecocks finally lean into their biggest offensive strength? And then there’s the quarterback situation. LaNorris Sellers remains QB1 — but should Cutter Woods be ready to play if Sellers struggles again? Chris explains why Sellers deserves the start, why Kentucky could be a favorable matchup for him based on his previous performances against the Wildcats, and what would have to happen for Woods to get his shot. Plus: 🏈 Why Kentucky may be a better matchup for USC than Alabama or Mississippi State ⏰ The three Gamecocks with the most riding on Saturday 🔥 Why J’Zavien Currence could be ready for a breakout role 💪 Justin Okoronkwo’s opportunity to take over the defense 🏃 Why South Carolina should lean heavily on its running game 👀 The case for getting Cutter Woods meaningful snaps 🎯 What LaNorris Sellers needs to show against Kentucky 🚨 Why this game has become a must-win for Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks Can South Carolina get back on track against Kentucky, or will another loss force even bigger questions about the direction of the program?

South Carolina football is back at Williams-Brice Stadium for a massive SEC matchup against Kentucky, and the Gamecocks desperately need a win. On today’s episode of Locked On Gamecocks, Chris Marler breaks down his 3 keys to South Carolina beating Kentucky and getting Shane Beamer’s team back on track after a brutal stretch against Mississippi State and Alabama. Kentucky enters Columbia with an efficient offense led by quarterback Kenny Minchey, but the numbers reveal some areas South Carolina’s defense can attack. We break down Kentucky’s heavy reliance on screens and short passes, why tackling in space could determine the game, and what Clayton White’s defense must do to slow down the Wildcats’ rushing attack. Then, we turn to the Gamecocks offense. Can LaNorris Sellers and South Carolina establish the run, stay on the field on third down and finally start imposing their will offensively? Kentucky has struggled on both sides of the ball on third down, giving South Carolina a major opportunity to take control of this matchup. Plus, Chris discusses the growing pressure surrounding Shane Beamer, his fiery press conference, the Dylan Stewart situation and why Saturday could tell us a lot about where this South Carolina football season — and potentially the program itself — is headed.

Could that also mean a bigger role for Donovan Murph in the Gamecocks passing attack?

Can LaNorris Sellers be fixed? After a frustrating start for the South Carolina Gamecocks offense, Chris Marler is joined by On3 analyst and SEC Stat Cat founder Clark Brooks to break down what is actually going wrong with Sellers, Kendal Briles’ offense and South Carolina’s passing game. The numbers surrounding Sellers might be more complicated than they appear. Despite the criticism, Brooks explains why Sellers’ overall accuracy remains one of the better marks in the SEC — while his decision-making, anticipation and ability to consistently see the field are creating major problems for the Gamecocks. They break down what South Carolina can do schematically to simplify things for Sellers and create easier opportunities through RPOs, screens, motion and the quick passing game. But there are reasons for optimism. South Carolina’s offensive line and rushing attack have made major improvements under Briles. Brooks explains why the Gamecocks have been one of the SEC’s most successful rushing offenses through the early portion of the season and how that could become the foundation for fixing the offense. Plus, Chris and Clark look ahead to South Carolina vs. Alabama, the opportunities the Gamecocks could have against the Crimson Tide defense, why second-half adjustments remain critical and what Sellers must do to get South Carolina’s passing attack back on track. Topics include: LaNorris Sellers’ struggles and accuracy, Kendal Briles’ offensive scheme, South Carolina’s improved offensive line, the Gamecocks’ rushing success, explosive-play issues, Sellers’ decision-making and anticipation, Alabama matchup advantages and whether South Carolina can turn its offense around. 🏈 Locked On Gamecocks — Your Team.

Three South Carolina Gamecocks are officially ON THE CLOCK as Shane Beamer’s team prepares for a massive road test against Alabama. ⏰🐔 On today’s Locked On Gamecocks, Chris Marler is joined by Jack Veltri of On3’s Gamecock Central to break down South Carolina vs. Alabama and the players who need to deliver if the Gamecocks are going to pull off a huge win in Tuscaloosa. The conversation starts with LaNorris Sellers after an up-and-down performance against Mississippi State. Is the criticism of Sellers justified? Could South Carolina actually reach a point where Cutter Woods gets an opportunity, or is Sellers unquestionably still the guy at quarterback? Then it’s time to put three Gamecocks on the clock: LaNorris Sellers, Nyck Harbor and David Bucey. Sellers needs to rediscover the dynamic playmaking ability that made him one of college football’s most exciting quarterbacks. Harbor needs to turn his elite athleticism into game-changing production, while Bucey and the South Carolina secondary face a major challenge against Alabama’s passing attack. Chris and Jack also discuss why South Carolina has to start fast in Bryant-Denny Stadium, the Gamecocks’ recent second-half struggles, Shane Beamer’s adjustments, Alabama’s vulnerable secondary, South Carolina’s rushing attack and the matchups that could give USC an opportunity to make this a four-quarter fight. Plus, Jack gives his South Carolina-Alabama score prediction, and Chris explains why there are still areas where the Gamecocks could create problems for the Crimson Tide. Topics include: LaNorris Sellers vs. Alabama, Nyck Harbor’s impact, David Bucey and the Gamecocks secondary, Cutter Woods, Shane Beamer, South Carolina’s second-half struggles, Alabama’s pass defense, key matchups and South Carolina vs. Alabama predictions.

Can South Carolina shock Alabama? What are the 3 keys the Gamecocks need to pull off the upset in Tuscaloosa? On today’s Locked On Gamecocks, Chris Marler is joined by Clint Lamb of BamaOnline/On3 to go behind enemy lines and break down South Carolina vs. Alabama. The Gamecocks enter the matchup as a sizable underdog, but there are reasons to believe Shane Beamer’s team can make this interesting. Chris and Clint break down the areas South Carolina MUST take advantage of if it wants to knock off the Crimson Tide — including creating explosive plays against Alabama’s secondary, finding ways to unleash LaNorris Sellers, and surviving against an Alabama rushing attack that has become a major part of its offensive identity. They also dive into one of the biggest matchups of the game: South Carolina’s offensive line vs. Alabama’s defensive front. Can Jacarrius Peak and the Gamecocks hold up against Devin Tompkins and company? Can Nick Harbor create problems downfield? And what kind of impact can Dylan Stewart make as his workload increases? Plus, Clint explains what he’s seen from Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell, why Alabama’s run game could be a major problem for the Gamecocks, where South Carolina may have opportunities against the Crimson Tide defense, and gives his final South Carolina-Alabama score prediction. 🔥 On today’s show: 3 keys for South Carolina to beat Alabama Can LaNorris Sellers take over the game?

South Carolina football has one final tune-up before SEC play begins, as the Gamecocks host Towson looking to build off their dominant 57-0 win over Kent State. On today’s Locked On Gamecocks, Chris Marler breaks down three things he wants to see from South Carolina vs. Towson, including more involvement from the tight ends, another explosive performance from Kendal Briles’ offense and more pressure from the Gamecocks defense. We also put three players/position groups “on the clock,” including Nitro Tuggle, the kicking competition and the battle behind Matt Fuller at running back. Can LaNorris Sellers and the South Carolina offense put together another dominant performance before Mississippi State? And can Clayton White’s defense create more havoc in the backfield? Plus, Chris gives his best college football bets for the weekend.
