Gamecocks’ top tailbacks are out MarShawn Lloyd and Christian Beal-Smith against the Volunteers for Saturday’s game against Tennessee
Nov. 17, 2022The gamecocks' will be without its top two tailbacks against No. 5 Tennessee. Head coach Shane Beamer told reporters on Thursday during his weekly radio show that MarShawn Lloyd and Christian Beal-Smith will miss Saturday’s game against the Volunteers in Columbia. “We’ll see where they are next week,” Beamer said, “but right now they don’t feel like they’re capable of playing up to their ability on Saturday.”
Lloyd missed the bulk of the second half of South Carolina’s loss to Missouri three weeks ago due to a thigh contusion. He’s missed the last two games against Vanderbilt and Florida. The Delaware native recruits currently ranked third in the Southeastern Conference in rushing touchdowns (9) and eighth in yards rushing per game (69.5) entering last week’s loss in Gainesville.
