First-year coaches Shane Beamer and Josh Heupel face long, hard roads. Beamer took over a gutted program that lacks a competitive SEC talent base. Also, Beamer took over a program with a hard College Football odds ceiling. South Carolina’s last conference title was in 1969. Once upon a time, Tennessee was a national powerhouse. But their 1998 national championship was the beginning of the end. Big Orange has never been close since that epic campaign. Heupel ran one of the nation’s top offenses at Central Florida. In like manner to Beamer, he lacks quality talent.
