Beamer Break: South Carolina football coach injures his foot in a frustrated, postgame kick

Add coach Shane Beamer to South Carolina's injury list with a broken bone in his right foot following his team's 41-39 loss to Florida

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Add South Carolina coach Shane Beamer to the team's injured list, although he doesn't expect to miss any time with a broken bone in his right foot.

Beamer acknowledged Tuesday that he “kicked something I shouldn't have kicked” not too long after the Gamecocks blew a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead Saturday in a 41-39 loss to Florida.

“That was a gut-wrenching, emotional loss, and I was frustrated,” Beamer said in explanation.

He thought the pain would subside, but when it didn't, he got the foot checked out. Beamer called athletic director Ray Tanner to brief him on the injury and "he died laughing when I told him.”
