The Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week award honors a football coach who led his team to a significant victory during the previous week, while also embodying the award’s three pillars of scholarship, leadership, and integrity.
In his second year with the South Carolina football program, Shane Beamer captured his second victory over a ranked opponent Saturday, after dominating No. 5 Tennessee 63-38 in Columbia. The win marks the first time in a decade that South Carolina defeated a top-5 team at home, last beating No. 5 Georgia 35-7 in 2012. Quarterback Spencer Rattler’s career day fueled the team offensively, as the junior finished with 438 yards and six touchdowns. South Carolina’s 606 yards of offense are the most by an unranked team against an AP top-5 opponent in the poll era.
