This week, the South Carolina Gamecocks are in Athens to take on Georgia, which has climbed to the No. 1 ranking in the land and looks as fearsome as ever with a lockdown defense to match that loaded backfield. Even with Clemson on the schedule, this is likely the hardest game South Carolina will play all year.
Limit the damage on the ground. There’s a reason I phrased it that way and not “Stop the run,” because frankly, that’s impossible. Georgia is a power-running team that has steamrolled its competition so far, averaging 284 rushing yards per game (good for second in the SEC behind Alabama).
