Shane Beamer’s South Carolina football team needed a win on Saturday against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, and they got it. The Gamecocks brought their record back to .500 at 2-2 after beating Zach Arnett’s program in a matchup that was dangerously close to a “must-win.”

The matchup was very competitive, but Mississippi State never held an outright lead. The close game was extremely entertaining and never felt as if the score was out of reach.
