Spurrier mentions Mark Richt has told his team that it hasn't played very well in Columbia. "And I like it that they talk about that."

Josh Kendall @JoshatTheState  ·  16h
Steve Spurrier: "If we kick it right down the middle to (Gurley) on the goal line, we are pretty stupid."

Seth Emerson @SethEmerson  ·  21h
Todd Gurley now the Heisman favorite, per Bovada. Votes are due soon: December 8.

Beat writer Q&A: This week we pick the considerable brain of South Carolina beat writer @JoshatTheState http://www.macon.com/2014/09/11/3300105/beat-writer-qa-breaking-down-south.html ...

Josh Kendall covered Georgia for The Telegraph and the Athens Banner-Herald for many years. He's now on his fifth season covering Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks for The State in Columbia:

Q: It seemed South Carolina improved a bit from Week 1 to Week 2, but not a huge amount. Did you see some signs that would be encouraging for the Gamecocks' chances to beat Georgia this weekend, or does there need to be a huge Week 2 to Week 3 improvement?

Kendall: I don't know how you define how much improvement they need to make, but there certainly needs to be some, and this team likely is going to be saying that every week this season. The Gamecocks, it seems, don't have quite the team everyone thought they had in the preseason, and now they have to figure out what kind of team they do have. Among the encouraging signs last week are the defensive line played much better and actually got a lot of pressure on Shane Carden even though it didn't notch a sack, and the offense put together an 18-play, 10:33 drive to finish out the game. Now, are both those things attributable to the opponent or actual improvement? We will start finding out Saturday...

Cloninger Soundoff: My gameday forecast, prediction http://scne.ws/6tt6Gr  #gg

There are so many reasons why Georgia will win this game.

That's exactly why I'm picking South Carolina to win...

Two plays, two passes. Touchdown Georgia. Hutson Mason to Sony Michel from 33 yards or so. It's 7-7.

Dylan Thompson has more pass attempts and completions in the first 12:40 than Connor Shaw had the whole game vs. Georgia in 2012.

Pharoh Cooper makin' moves. 8-yard TD catch from Dylan Thompson. It's 14-10 #Gamecocks.

Touchdown #Gamecocks. Rory Anderson over the middle, 18 yards. What a throw and catch. It's 21-13 South Carolina.

Marshall Morgan from 44 yards. NO GOOD. Still 21-13 #Gamecocks.

Field goal, South Carolina, which enters halftime with a 24-13 lead. Georgia gets the ball to start the second half.

Williams-Brice crowd gets a heads up that more poor weather is in the area. Here's the radar. No delay yet.

[jbcarol]

UGa goes for it on 4th and 1 from the SC 6:

Gurley gets the first down near the two

[jbcarol]

Gurley runs in for the TD from two and does not go down.

[jbcarol]

UGa 20  SC 24  9:23 3rd

[jbcarol]

Davis for SC and Wilson for UGa are both dinged up on the same play.  Wilson is still down.  Davis limped off.  Mauger is also down for UGa.

[jbcarol]

UGa 20  SoCar 31  3:52 3rd

[Chestodrawers]

       Georgia not looking as good as I thought, SC looking better than I thought. Bad news for UGA so far.

RIcht always seems to have one headscratcher every year. USCe is not Vandy, but you have to win these if you are going to play for all the marbles.

[Polecat]

Running the ball very well on UGA. Perhaps it's the post-win bliss speaking, but if we can mix in some effective passing we might be able to churn up some yardage on the Bulldogs

[BirmingHam]

Said the same thing to myself, but still too gunshy to predict our game will go the same.  Still USCe is gashing them, and I still cant' help but thinking..... .  Go away thoughts, one game at a time.

Was told a bit ago that the coordinators, Pruitt and Bobo, probably won't be available to the media after the game.

Touchdown, Goergia: Quayvon Hicks from 1 yard out, and it's 38-35 with 7:10 left.

The moment of truth for Georgia's defense. Excuse the cliche', but no better way to put it.

[jbcarol]

Dylan Thompson is picked off and puts UGa in business with 5:24 to go (plus a penalty on Shaq making it first and goal).

[jbcarol]

So Car. fans are tossing trash on the field from the end zone seats.

[jbcarol]

Mason intentionally grounds it on first and goal near the four.

[jbcarol]

Verne called the next play first and goal, but grounding is a loss of down.

What a bunch of rednecks. I've flipped over to this game a few times, and they did this earlier. Good grief.

[jbcarol]

FG unit in for UGa.  Mason is no Murray.

[jbcarol]

Morgan 28-yd FG is no good at 4:24.

[Atlhogfan1]

SEC just took a hit with that.  SECW is so much ahead of the EAST

[SouthFloridaHog]

wow.......... I thought eUSC had given another gave away

[jbcarol]

SC tries to draw an offsides near midfield on 4th and inches and 1:26 to go.

[jbcarol]

SC goes for it.  Waiting for the spot.

[jbcarol]

Very close.  First down is called.

[3kgthog]

Richt happens again. He always blows winnable games every year.

UGa 35  South Carolina 38

[bigred223]

That will be fun game in Little Rock. Should be a rowdy crowd for that.

[Poker_hog]

Fla and uk tied in the 2nd q

[3kgthog]

Not surprised. I don't think many here are, either.

[Atlhogfan1]

This sucks for the SEC.  The competitive balance is off.  Now we have Mizzou with a chance again to make the SEC CG due to a soft schedule.  Not good.  As a conference, we should have pulled for UGa.   

[lumphog]

UGAs young QB looks dambgood

[HiggiePiggy]

Richt happens again. He always blows winnable games every year.

Yes he does.  He will probably blow 2 more this season also. 

[RedSoxFan]

Your referring to Hutson Mason? The senior that was a backup to Murray?

[Atlhogfan1]

Unfortunate outcome for the SEC.  Now we need the West to dominate this season. 

[DeltaBoy]

Poor Dawgs.

[ICEman]

Twenty-three year old college QB's can be considered young in some regards.
