‘Start drinking water ... now’: USC wants fans ready for another hot Saturday

During last Saturday’s season opener, South Carolina football fans in Williams-Brice Stadium endured brutal heat, with temperatures in the low to mid 90s and high humidity.

That led to more than a few empty seats as the Gamecocks thrashed Coastal Carolina early and supporters knew the outcome of the game fairly quickly. For this Saturday’s massive clash with Georgia, Williams-Brice is sold out, and the chances of finding any open seats late in the game is considerably lower.

However, things are only supposed to get hotter, with some forecasts calling for temperatures as high as 95 degrees, with the heat index being even higher.
