Looking at how Georgia and South Carolina stack up statistically

This Saturday, the No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs (2-0) take on the South Carolina Gamecocks (1-1) in Columbia, South Carolina. The game will be televised on ESPN and will kickoff at 12 p.m. ET.  The Bulldogs are a 24.5 point favorite over the Gamecocks, per BetMGM. with the over/under set at 51.5.
