South Carolina appears ready to unravel after a blowout loss to Alabama on Saturday. The Gamecocks blew a lead to Mississippi State in Week 3. After the loss, embattled head coach Shane Beamer made it clear he believed his team wouldn't fold after the loss.
South Carolina followed that performance up by losing 49-18 to No. 8 Alabama on Saturday. During the contest, Gamecocks star pass-rusher Dylan Stewart, a potential first-round pick in the 2027 draft, threw a punch at an Alabama player.

Beamer appeared uncertain of Stewart's future with the program. Beamer told reporters on Saturday night that Stewart's actions were "unacceptable" at South Carolina. I didn’t see it until just now, and that’s unacceptable,” Beamer said.
"I’m embarrassed to see that because that’s not what we’re about. Didn’t see it during the game. I didn’t know what happened.
We’ve got a lot of fiery, emotional, competitive guys, and I love that. When you’re in the arena, emotions are high.” Stewart recorded no tackles on Saturday. He has just one tackle on the season, and made his first appearance against Mississippi State.
The loss to Alabama knocked South Carolina to 2-2 on the campaign. South Carolina has a tough schedule coming up. The Gamecocks will play No. 24 Kentucky in Week 5 before playing on the road against No. 8 Florida on Oct. 10 and then hosting No. 17 Tennessee on Oct. 24.
