Sunday night conference call: Injury report and more
Sept. 25, 2022
After dealing with a long list of injuries, the South Carolina football team is starting to get healthy as it transitions from Week 4 to Week 5 of the season.
“Kind of the same as last night, nothing new from the game last night thankfully,” Shane Beamer said Sunday on his teleconference. “Again, everyone that I thought we had a chance to get back this week, we still feel like we have a chance to get back. Darius Rush and Dylan Wonnum are probably the two
Several players were questionable going into Saturday night’s matchup with Charlotte. Like Cam Smith, Boogie Huntley, R.J. Roderick, and Jaylen Nichols were all able to return to action, playing snaps of varying amounts against the 49ers.
Transfer wide receiver Corey Rucker did play for the first time this season due to a foot injury catching a touchdown pass from Luke Doty late into the game. Wonnum and Rush did not play against Charlotte. Freshman linebacker Stone Blanton was also out against Charlotte but should be close to returning.
“He hurt his shoulder against Georgia a little bit,” Beamer said. “He practiced this week. He didn’t do much on Tuesday but he practiced on Wednesday and Thursday and we had every intention to play him and then we just got out in the game last night and coming out of pregame warmups, he just didn’t feel great about it so we ended up not playing him but he’ll be fine and nothing significant.”
Beamer announced on Saturday that EDGE Terrell Dawkins will be out 4-6 weeks while dealing with a knee injury that required surgery,.
Moving on: For the first time this season, Gamecock fans got to enjoy an offensive explosion from their team. In Saturday’s 56-20 victory over Charlotte, MarShawn Lloyd helped USC bowl over the nation’s worst defense to the tune of 295 yards rushing and 545 yards of total offense. The first-teamers scored every time they touched the football, and the running game helped salt away a contest that was just 20-14 Carolina at the break.
On Sunday, head coach Shane Beamer held his weekly teleconference with the media, and despite the easy win, Beamer noted that his team still made plenty of mistakes that could get them beaten if they aren’t corrected. He also took time to brag about his team’s perimeter blocking, which helped spark the 200+ yard ground attack. Beamer was also asked about the possibility of this week’s matchup with SC State being moved due to the approaching storm in the Gulf of Mexico.
