What Shane Beamer said after South Carolina's big win over Oklahoma
South Carolina football breezed to victory on Saturday night. Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks beat Oklahoma 42-25 on the road in Norman. With the win, USC is now 5-3 overall (3-3 SEC) on the year. South Carolina dominated in every facet of the game on Saturday to extend its win streak to three games. Here are the highlights from Beamer’s postgame press conference: On the offensive firepower South Carolina moved the ball with ease against Oklahoma. The Gamecocks put up 521 total yards of offense in the game. Of those, 307 came in the first half. Quarterback LaNorris Sellers threw for 301 yards and USC combined for 212 rushing yards as a team. Those rushing numbers are especially impressive when you factor in the fact South Carolina lost starting running back Matt Fuller in the first quarter with an injury. “Give Kendal (Briles) credit,” Beamer said. “He’s done an awesome job. To come in here and put up 521 yards of offense against this defense, not many people have done that.” On another strong LaNorris Sellers performance Sellers continued to play like a man on a mission on Saturday. He was 19 for 24 passing for 301 yards and three

Is Joyce Edwards USC's next 20 points per game scorer? What Dawn Staley thinks
It’s been nearly a decade since a South Carolina women’s basketball player has scored an average of 20 points per game in a season. The last player to do it was A’ja Wilson . The Columbia native, who has a statue in her likeness outside of Colonial Life Arena, averaged 22.6 points per game in 2017-18. Wilson snapped a 16-season streak when she did it and was the first since Jocelyn Penn averaged 23.87 points per game in 2002-03. In all, eight Gamecocks have scored 20 or more points per game in any given season. Shannon Johnson (three years in a row from 1993-96) and Marsha Williams (1991-92) were the lone Gamecocks to do it in the 1990s. Sheila Foster (1981-81), Brantley Southers (1985-86) and Beth Hunt (1989-90) all did it in the 1980s. Katrina Anderson was the first to do it in the 1977-78 season. Will South Carolina have to wait another 16 years for someone to average 20 points per game? If star forward Joyce Edwards keeps her scoring ways up, it doesn’t seem that way. Can Joyce Edwards hit 20 ppg? Edwards has been a star for the Gamecocks since she set foot on campus. The junior
