South Carolina will be without two defensive starters Saturday against No. 1 Georgia after outside linebacker/edge rusher Jordan Strachan and middle linebacker Mo Kaba suffered season-ending ACL injuries last week in the 44-30 loss at Arkansas.
"I'm extremely disappointed and heartbroken for both of these young men," South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said in a statement. "They both worked really hard to prepare for this season and were off to great starts for us. Their best football is still in front of them."
This is the second ACL injury for Strachan, whose three tackles for loss led the Gamecocks (1-1) through the first two games.
