Continuing on with our 2021 opponent previews, the South Carolina Gamecocks are set to face the Georgia Bulldogs on Sept. 18. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series versus the Gamecocks with a record of 52-19-2. Even though last season’s game between these two easily went in Georgia’s favor, the 2019 matchup is more memorable for both fanbases.
The last time the Gamecocks traveled to Athens, the Gamecocks pulled off one of the biggest upsets in school history. Led by Israel Mukuamu’s three interceptions, the Gamecocks beat the No. 3 Bulldogs 20-17 in a defensive slugfest. Maybe history can repeat itself; maybe the Gamecocks can achieve the impossible in Week 3.
