WATCH | | Benedict & Allen receives shoutout during South Carolina head football coach Shane Beamer weekly press conference

It's quite uncommon for a head football coach from a Power 5 school, like @CoachSBeamer, to take a moment during his weekly press conference, which typically focuses on his own program, to express this sentiment. We truly appreciate it, Coach! pic.twitter.com/Xk55LuVqGG
