South Carolina Gamecocks News: Georgia loss, recruiting update, injury news, basketball uniforms, and more
The Gamecocks fell to the two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs by a score of 24-14. After leading 14-3 at the half, the Gamecocks were worn down on the line of scrimmage by the more physical Bulldogs who scored 21 straight points in the 2nd half.
Spencer Rattler was great once again until some desperation shots down the field at the end of the game wound up in the paws of Bulldog defenders.
Defensive lineman TJ Sanders had a really nice game (9 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 PBU), and the Gamecock safety group of Nick Emmanwori, DQ Smith, and Jalon Kilgore totaled 25 tackles. Debo Williams also had a good game at linebacker, tallying 11 stops.
True freshman offensive tackle Tree Babalade had an elite game in pass protection, allowing just one quarterback pressure against the most talented defense in the country.
Class of 2024 4-star athlete Darrell “Duke” Johnson released his top-11 schools, and South Carolina made the cut. The Georgia athlete is a top-50 prospect in the class.
Top-5 national prospect in the class of 2025, defensive tackle Elijah Griffin, had positive things to say about his visit to Columbia for last weekend’s Furman game. Griffin is a current high school teammate of Gamecock commitment David Bucey. As it stands today, South Carolina and Georgia appear to be the heavy favorites to land the 5-star.
