Shane Beamer and the South Carolina football team did not perform up to expectations on Saturday when they took on the North Carolina Tar Heels in Charlotte. If the game film truly was a graded school assignment, it would be so marked up with red pen that it hardly would be recognizable.

Despite several glaring issues for the Gamecocks, the score was not a blowout. The Tar Heels won the game 31-17, reclaiming the rights to Carowinds and earning bragging rights as “the real Carolina” for the 2023 season.

Without any further ado, here are the grades for South Carolina football’s loss to UNC:
