South Carolina shocks No. 3 Georgia in two overtimes to shake up College Football Playoff race

Skip to main content

South Carolina knocked off unbeaten Georgia in double overtime for a major SEC upset Saturday, a stunning outcome that will surely dampen the previously unbeaten Bulldogs' College Football Playoff aspirations.

Gamecocks kicker Parker White connected on a 24-yard field goal in the second overtime to secure the 20-17 victory before Rodrigo Blankenship missed his kick on the ensuing possession.

The upset was the first time a top-6 team in the Coaches Poll has lost in 2019, and it's also the first time an SEC team fell to an unranked foe.
