South Carolina had its three-game winning streak broken Saturday in a 24-10 loss to No. 2 Georgia. Here are five things we learned in that loss, which dropped the Gamecocks to 6-3 overall and 4-3 in the SEC.
Defensive depth is an issue: Linebackers Skai Moore and T.J. Brunson didn’t play every snap, but they played almost every snap against a physical Georgia offense. Moore had a game-high 10 tackles and Brunson had seven tackles, but both players, and the entire South Carolina defense, wore down by the fourth quarter. “We got fatigued late, and that start’s to affect being able to disengage from blocks and tackling and things like that,” head coach Will Muschamp said.
