Beamer told reporters on Sunday night that some of Saturday’s usage for Joyner simply had to do with the scheme. The Gamecocks ran the ball so effectively, it was rare Joyner, and the receivers needed to be heavily involved.
Combine that with Joyner having to rotate at his position with Ahmarean Brown, and there just weren’t that many snaps up for grabs. The most receiver snaps through four games, according to PFF, have gone to Jalen Brooks (113), Antwane Wells (108), Brown (102), Josh Vann (63), Xavier Legette (58), and Joyner (26). That accounts for the number of times a receiver lined up on a play where South Carolina passed the ball.
With the combination of South Carolina’s talent upgrades at receiver this offseason and depending on the scheme, it’s hard to imagine Joyner being a major factor this year barring something completely unforeseen.
