Georgia-South Carolina: TV, online, radio information
The specter of 2019 looms over this game.
On a pre-pandemic October Saturday that year, South Carolina entered Sanford Stadium to play No. 3 Georgia, with hardly anyone outside the Gamecocks’ loyalists expecting anything other than a resounding victory for the Bulldogs.
That didn’t happen. Double overtime. Missed South Carolina field-goal attempt. Made South Carolina field goal. Missed Georgia field-goal attempt. There’s your upset.
That was one of several surprising outcomes in South Carolina’s favor in this series. It’s hard to imagine one happening this weekend, but some Georgia fans may have a hard time shaking off that specter.
