South Carolina’s loss to Alabama left Patrick DiMarco and Whit Merrifield with plenty of questions.

On this episode of Hit Stick, the former NFL and MLB standouts break down what went wrong for the Gamecocks against Alabama, including the lack of energy and defensive pressure, LaNorris Sellers’ struggles, the fourth-down decisions, South Carolina’s receiver production and the Dylan Stewart situation.

Patrick and Whit also dig into a bigger question: does Shane Beamer need to identify the players he can truly build around for the rest of the season?

Plus, they look ahead to a critical matchup with Kentucky and explain why there is still time for South Carolina to turn its season around.
