How Twitter reacted to Gator Bowl: Gamecocks side

This year’s Gator Bowl undoubtedly will bother South Carolina fans all offseason. The Gamecocks had Notre Dame on the ropes or on the verge of collapse several times only to let the Irish get their groove back. They had one last chance to send the game to overtime on their final drive, but a couple of costly penalties backed them up to the point where only a prayer would save them. The prayer went unanswered, and the Irish celebrated a 45-38 win.

With the season likely to end with the Gamecocks not ranked, it will go down as a disappointment in many respects. While an 8-5 record isn’t terrible, the talent on this roster indicated that things definitely could and should have gone a little better. Alas, the only path forward is to figure out how to compete next season in an SEC that only continues to get stronger every year. Until the first game of 2023 comes, Gamecocks fans will be left to tweet their thoughts, and a lot of them are positive in spite of this tough defeat:
