Georgia vs. South Carolina: Key matchups to watch

Here are the key matchups to watch when Georgia football travels to Columbia to take on South Carolina Saturday night on SEC Network.

No. 9 Georgia (5-2) is set to take on South Carolina (2-6) Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on SEC Network.

The Bulldogs travel to Columbia in what the SEC is calling ‘rivalry week’ in 2020’s conference-only schedule. 

The Gamecocks are led by interim coach Mike Bobo, former Georgia quarterback and offensive coordinator, after four-year coach Will Muschamp was fired earlier this season.

South Carolina lost to Missouri 17-10 on Saturday in a game that featured two different quarterbacks under center for the Gamecocks.

Freshman dual-threat Luke Doty replaced senior Collin Hill at halftime and as of now, we expect to see Doty at signal caller vs. the Bulldogs.

Georgia comes in to this one riding a 31-24 win vs. Mississippi State in which USC transfer quarterback JT Daniels looked like a star, throwing for 401yards and four touchdowns on 28 of 38 passing in his first start as a Georgia Bulldog.

Here are the key matchups to watch for when Georgia travels to Columbia Saturday night.

A look at Saturday’s SEC ‘rivalry week’ schedule

According to the SEC’s conference-only schedule, it’s rivalry week. Here are the matchups, including when, where and how to watch.

According to the SEC’s conference-only schedule, it’s rivalry week.

The slate includes six games, including No. 9 Georgia (5-2) at South Carolina (2-6) at 7:30 p.m. ET on SEC Network.

I don’t see the Gamecocks as a rival, but in leu of this crazy year, I guess it just flows with all the other unusual going on.

Here are the other matchups this week, just three-weeks before the SEC Championship game on Dec 19.

  • Kentucky (3-5) at No. 6 Florida (6-1) at noon ET on ESPN.
  • Vanderbilt (0-7) at Missouri (3-3) at noon ET on SEC Network.
  • No. 22 Auburn (5-2) at No. 1 Alabama (7-0) at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
  • Mississippi State (2-5) at Ole Miss (3-4) at 4:00 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
  • LSU (3-3) at No. 5 Texas A&M ( 6-1) at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.

I’m keeping my eye on Auburn, traveling to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama without Nick Saban on the field due to positive COVID testing and LSU, going to College Station as an underdog to face a good but inconsistent Texas A&M team.

You never know what could happen in a late-season SEC matchup, so it should be a fun day of football.
