COLUMBIA, S.C. - Dylan Thompson threw for three
touchdowns and No. 24 South Carolina's maligned defense stood strong on a
fourth-quarter goal line stand to topple No. 6 Georgia 38-35 on
Saturday night.
The Bulldogs (1-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference)
had a first-and-goal on the Gamecocks' 4 down three points with 5:24
remaining. But Hutson Mason was called for intentional grounding to set
Georgia back and the usually reliable Marshall Morgan missed a 28-yard
field goal.
Todd Gurley ran for 131 yards and a touchdown, yet the
Gamecocks (2-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) kept the Bulldogs' star
from making a bigger impact.
The victory was South Carolina coach
Steve Spurrier's 201st as a SEC coach, tying him for second alltime with
Georgia great Vince Dooley. It put the Gamecocks back in the SEC East
race.
