TAMPA, Fla. Despite its 2-8 record, South Carolina is going bowling in 2020.
Today the SEC announced that 12 teams have accepted bowl game invitation for the postseason, and South Carolina will be playing Dec. 26 against the University of Alabama-Birmingham in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl.
This bowl game comes during a time of transition for South Carolina. New head coach Shane Beamer just arrived in Columbia today to assume the role of head coach full-time after finishing the season with Oklahoma in yesterday’s Big 12 championship game.
Beamer hasn’t announced who he will be bringing on staff with him for next season, and it’s unclear which current members of South Carolina’s coaching staff will remain with the team for this bowl game.
