South Carolina lost 41-17 to No. 3 Georgia on Saturday in Williams-Brice Stadium. Here are five things we learned from the loss:
The Gamecocks still need a run game in big games
South Carolina only ran the ball 20 times against the Bulldogs, which didn’t make coach Will Muschamp happy even though Muschamp signed off on an offensive game plan he knew was going to be pass-happy at least at the start. Offensive lineman Zack Bailey also expressed his frustration postgame that South Carolina didn’t try to run more against the Bulldogs. Whether it was an unwillingness or an inability to run the ball, the Gamecocks only had 54 rushing yards.
