    The South Carolina Gamecocks are off to a 2-0 start after blowing out Kent State and Towson in back to back weeks.

After that, we discuss some of the bigger results around the world of CFB from week 2 before recapping Week 2's DB Blitz results.

    Episode 75: Gamecocks exceed expectations vs. Kent State, TD's Spotlight, Clemson might be dead

    The South Carolina Gamecocks kicked off their 2026 campaign with a metaphorically sweat-free blowout against the visiting Kent State Golden Flashes. As we hoped for last week and talked about in this episode, it was a welcome change from the previous slow-starts in week 1 that we have come to know so well in the Beamer era. We talk about this welcome change, the new-look offense, freshmen making a difference early and even the weather from USC's lopsided Saturday afternoon win. TD's Spotlight of the Week has also returned, listen to find out which Gamecock playmaker gets his name on the bar's marquee for the rest of the week! After wrapping up Gamecock talk, we head straight to the Upstate where Clemson fans are starting to spiral. The Tigers were baptized in the real Death Valley over the weekend to the tune of a 51-10 blowout vs. LSU. The wheels have not fallen all the way off quite yet... but we speculate that Clemson and Dabo could be headed for rock bottom in 2026. And finally... for the first time in podcast history, Beck and Thomas have been on the same side of a winning DB Blitz pick. We break down the rest of our week 1 wins and losses before some quick housekeeping notes and a shoutout to a Gamecock competing in the US Open.

    Episode 71: Gamecock Football offensive roster preview & AP Top 25 released

    As part of our lead up to the season, Beck and Thomas sit down to talk about South Carolina's offense. If you missed the defensive episode, check out our episode from last week. This will be OC Kendal Briles' first season in charge of the Gamecock offense. It's a team that has been searching for a tried and true playcaller since the waning days of the Spurrier era, and there is not a roster since then more equipped for an offensive explosion than this year's team. We take a look at the staff and two-deep to determine our expectations for the Gamecock offense this season.
