DL Zacch Pickens says South Carolina football is taking that sixth win as a challenge. Sitting at 5-5 for the 2021 season, the Gamecocks have two chances to earn a single win needed for bowl eligibility with final home games against Auburn and Clemson. Pickens, a third-year veteran along the Gamecocks' defensive line, was assured the Gamecocks would reach the mark when speaking with reporters Tuesday.

“One of the things that we’re trying to send our seniors and older guys with is a bowl game,” Pickens said. “That’s one thing we’re gonna give them.” First-year head coach Shane Beamer inherited a South Carolina program that went 2-8 in 2020 and hasn’t appeared in a bowl since the 2018 season, when the Gamecocks were shut out 28-0 by Virginia in the Belk Bowl.

Preseason pundits estimated South Carolina would win three or four games, but the tune seemed to change when the Gamecocks earned their fifth win in a 40-17 rout of Florida. Running back Kevin Harris said a bowl berth could hush the doubts further.

 
Bring it, get fired up and just do it.  Difference has to be our defense and them scoring some points.  I like his attitude, spread it around.

 
lets see the gamecocks prove it...I really like to see these types of comments and hunger

 
Let's see some execution from offense and defense this Saturday.  It's great our last 2 are at home.  Play smart, disciplined football Saturday.  Aggressive on D and change up the O.  Slants, quick hitters in the passing game.  Hopefully that will open up the run.  Pressure the QB and we have to get some turnovers.  Shorten the field for our offense.

I like the talk but talk is cheap.  Let's see what unfolds.  Auburn has a new coach,  we have a new coach named Beamer.  Let's see who gets the job done.  This is a coaches game In MO.

I think Auby started with a much more talented team, though. JHMO

 
Pickens, does not need to say anything, just get it done that had an chance last week , they let the Florida win go to their heads, this team has not done anything  hey shut up and play put it on the field stay out of the media.     

I've got South Carolina by 10  I think we win an close one , they should be motivated to stop TANK  he chose AUBURN over them .    This should be posted on the doors in dressing room , again they have got to play lights out to win if not it get's ugly real quick again. 

 
If Pickens' mood is reflective of the team's demeanor as a whole I am interested to hear it. They have three chances to get to 6 wins so why should he "shut up and play" because they didn't get it done on the first try of the three?

 
I think to Bear's point, "actions speak louder than words". Until you do it, it's just talking.

Now if you can back up your talk, that's confidence; however, recently we haven't had a track record of being able to support any bold predictions.

You can talk all you want put up or shut up, this team has done nothing but run their mouths all year including BEAMER, hey if you are in the top 5 in the nation you can talk but until then just put the wins in the wins in the win column that's all they do is talk about winning.  GO DO IT  KEEP IT IN THE LOCKER ROOM. 

talk about going to an bowl get real should be focused on winning then the bowls take care of themselves.    Hey how about talking and help getting 5 star players here.    Talent is the key Pickens is just average guy what has he done lately.

I hear you, but I don't think he was talking smack - simply saying they have taken on getting that sixth win as a challenge; to me, if you don't have that mindset you've already lost.
