What South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer told reporters right after the Gamecocks' 35-9 win over Oklahoma in Norman on Saturday.

South Carolina won a game with defensive dominance, traveling to Oklahoma for the first time ever and coming out with a 35-9 win over the Sooners. With the victory, the Gamecocks are now 4-3 (2-3 SEC) heading into the second and final bye week.

South Carolina is set for a noon eastern time kickoff (11:00 am CT) against the Oklahoma Sooners. Both teams look to get back into the win column following losses to Texas and Alabama resectively. Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer met with the media Tuesday to talk about the upcoming road game in Norman.

OU’s kickoff specialist, Zach Schmit (who stepped in nicely as the starter at kicker for Keltner against Auburn), can’t give the Gamecocks any un-earned opportunities either, as the Sooners defense needs all the help they can get.
