Christian Beal-Smith Exits vs. Vanderbilt
South Carolina has dealt with some backfield injuries this evening. Running back MarShawn Lloyd is inactive tonight, and his running mate Christian Beal-Smith went down early.
Beal-Smith suffered a lower-body injury while running between the tackles. He had a noticeable limp while getting up, and his status is up in the air. Tight end Jaheim Bell and running back Juju McDowell would assume his responsibilities if Beal-Smith cannot return.
The Gamecocks have jumped out to an early lead behind their big plays. They will start to try and establish the run, and not having Beal-Smith certainly hurts their chances.
Update: He returned to action on the ensuing drive.
