Sunday Conference Call: South Carolina coach Shane Beamer recaps the win over Kent State

Key comments from the Shane Beamer Sunday night conference call

• Did a great job from a run game standpoint. Defense did a lot of good stuff; offensively, didn’t turn the ball over, really good on third-down conversions, got to get better protecting the ball and perimeter blocking needs to improve.
• No new injuries to report from Saturday, so all who played should be ready to go next week.
• Said he liked the two-point conversion call with the jump pass, which always gives future opponents something else to work on.
• New PK Ethan Sanchez is with them and in team meetings today, adds more competition to the position, see how things go this week regarding if he will play this Saturday.
• Has high expecations for the run game, will get better with improved perimeter blocking, thought Sellers was very good yesterday, he’s very comfortable with what they are doing and will continue to get better.
• They got the ball to a lot of people yesterday and they have to continue to spread the ball around.
• The top defensive tackles played well, and there was no drop-off when the next guys were rolled in, feels they have a lot of depth there, good group.

• He made the decision to name team captains for the season in the preseason instead of the postseason, he knew there would be a lot of candidates, he said that’s a big deal, they will vote again after the season for the permanent team captains for the season.
