Don’t look now, but the back-to-back defending national champs could be on upset alert down in Athens.
The Georgia Bulldogs find themselves down 14-10 to South Carolina with the third quarter just getting underway and Shane Beamer’s Gamecocks looking like they came to play this weekend.
USC quarterback Spencer Rattler is playing some clean football, completing 16-of-18 passes for 152 yards and a score, while Carolina’s defense is holding up well against all of that five-star talent on the Georgia sideline.
South Carolina jumps out to a 14-3 lead over No. 1 Georgia 👀

“(I do think Georgia will win, but …) It’s possible a few hours from now we might live in a world where Rutgers is 3-0 and Alabama, LSU, Clemson, and Georgia aren’t,” commented Pete Fiutak.
