Doty’s solid work, other takeaways from Beamer’s first scrimmage as Gamecocks coach
South Carolina’s football scrimmage Saturday was a bit different than the usual affair.
Normally it would take place in Williams-Brice Stadium, with a full gameday-like operation. But this weekend there is a TopGolf event at the stadium, so Shane Beamer’s first scrimmage as Gamecocks head coach had to happen on the practice fields.
“You don’t have communication from the field to the press box and things like that with your coaching staff,” he said of scrimmage at the practice facility, “and the mechanics are different because I’m standing out there on the field a little bit.”
Still, he got to take an early look at his team in more realistic situations than practice.
