Beamer looked ahead to Saturday's matchup against South Carolina State during his weekly press conference on Tuesday.

"Looking forward to this Saturday night to be back home against a South Carolina State that has so much tradition, so much pride in their program and rightfully so," Beamer said. "A team that's won multiple conference championships in recent years. Played for the HBCU national championship last year. There is some great football that's being played in that conference and across the country.

"They do a great job. I have a lot of respect for coach Berry. We actually invited him to come speak at our high school coaches clinic this spring here in Columbia. Did a great job. I sat there and took a lot of notes because I see his interviews on television or watch him somewhere on TV. Just his enthusiasm and passion is impressive. He's another great coach down there in Orangeburg in a long line of great coaches that have been there. … They have a team with a lot of new transfers that are really good players that have made an immediate impact. And then some great returning players off last year's team that won a conference championship and had a heck of a year. We know we will get their best shot on Saturday night."
