No. 9 Georgia has kicked off vs South Carolina in Columbia and the Bulldogs are off to a hot start.

USC transfer JT Daniels in his second start as a Georgia Bulldog hit a long pass to senior tight end Tre McKitty before he went back to McKitty for a diving touchdown.

Watch the touchdown here:

Tight ends! Let’s hope to see more of this, DawgNation.

Georgia leads the Gamecocks 7-0 early in the first quarter on SEC Network.

Georgia vs. South Carolina: UGA star DT Jordan Davis listed as questionable

Georgia star defensive tackle Jordan Davis is listed as questionable for the Bulldogs matchup vs. South Carolina tonight in Columbia.

The Bulldogs have missed preseason All-SEC defensive tackle Jordan Davis mightily since he went down with an elbow injury vs. Kentucky four weeks ago.

Good news is, it looks like he may go tonight in Columbia.

No. 9 Georgia kicks off vs. South Carolina at 7:30 p.m. on SEC Network.

At the very least it’s great to see Davis travel with the team and get on the field for warmups.

We’re not sure how much playing time he may get, if any, as South Carolina’s offense has struggled to get anything going as of late, scoring just 10 points last week’s 17-10 loss vs. Missouri.

Breaking: Georgia QB D’Wan Mathis has left the UGA football team

Redshirt freshman quarterback D’Wan Mathis has reportedly left the Georgia football program. Details and analysis here.

I keep talking about this Georgia quarterback drama as if it’s a book the size of a table and well, it just keeps getting bigger.

Redshirt freshman quarterback D’Wan Mathis has reportedly left the Georgia football program.

Dawgs 247Sports broke the news and multiple sources have confirmed.

This probably has something to do with USC transfer JT Daniels getting the start last week vs. MSU and balling out, completing 28 of 38 passes for 401 yards and four touchdowns.

Yes, it was against a bad MSU defense, but at the very least Georgia has its quarterback for the rest of the season and with Mathis bowing-out, Daniels may be the one under center when the Bulldogs take on Clemson in the 2021 season opener.

For now, all eyes are on Columbia as Georgia takes on the Gamecocks at 7:30 p.m. ET on SEC Network.

What South Carolina media is saying about Georgia ahead of UGA at SC

No. 9 Georgia is set to face South Carolina at 7:30 ET in Columbia, televised on SEC Network.Here’s what the South Carolina media is saying.

No. 9 Georgia is set to face South Carolina at 7:30 ET in Columbia, televised on SEC Network.

South Carolina (2-6) led by former UGA quarterback Mike Bobo as interim coach is coming off of a 17-10 loss at Missouri last week.

Freshman quarterback Luke Doty replaced Senior Collyn Hill in the second half and is now set to get his first start as a Gamecock vs. the Bulldogs.

On the other side, Georgia is riding off of a terrific offensive performance in a 31-24 win vs. Mississippi State Saturday as USC transfer made his first start under center as a Bulldog and passed for 401 yards and four touchdowns.

Here’s what South Carolina media is saying about Georgia ahead of tonight’s game.

 

Final predictions: Carolina vs. Georgia

By John Whittle  – 247Sports 

“Will Muschamp and Kirby Smart are friends and we all know how that turned out last year. Mike Bobo and Kirby Smart are better friends but no love will be lost Saturday. Smart can’t afford to lose this game and needs to run it up if they expect to be any factor in the CFP rankings. I expect Doty to start and while he will make some frustrating mistakes, he will spark the Gamecocks to another stunner. South Carolina 24 – Georgia 21”

 

 

Five numbers to know before South Carolina’s football game against No. 9 Georgia

By Eric Boynton – Spartenberg Herald 

“32.1 – that’s Georgia’s average yardage on kickoff returns which ranks second only to LSU in the Southeastern Conference and third nationally. That’s nearly10 yards more than any of the teams next in line. Special teams could play a big part in this game with the Bulldogs also leading the league in kickoff return coverage and punting.”

 

 

Gameday Guide: Gamecocks vs Georgia

By GC Staff – Rivals

“Collyn Taylor: Georgia is good with a defense predicated on stopping the run, which South Carolina is going to rely on heavily. Best-case scenario for South Carolina is starting a true freshman likely without his No. 1 target in Shi Smith. Defensively South Carolina is held together like a MacGyver bomb, so it will be hard to stop a good Georgia rushing attack and a revitalized passing attack from JT Daniels. It’s going to be a tough row to hoe. Georgia 38, South Carolina 13”

Prediction:

South Carolina is missing four defensive starters who decided to opt-out of the rest of the 2020 season after Muschamp was let go, including star defensive back Israel Mukuamu, who had three interceptions including a pick-6 last year vs. UGA.

Not a great look, especially when Georgia’s pass game seemed to find its stride last week with JT Daniels under center.

Gamecocks freshman quarterback Doty will have his work cut out for him against a talented Bulldogs defense who has been riddled with injuries this season, but is the healthiest its been in weeks with the possibility of star defensive tackle getting some reps in after missing some time with an elbow injury.

The Dawgs will have to stuff the run game to keep the Gamecocks from being able to get explosive plays off of play action, but with the inexperience of Doty and South Carolina missing its deep threat in receiver Shi Smith, it shouldn’t be difficult.

I’m taking Georgia win and cover 38-13.

Report: South Carolina QB Luke Doty to make first start for Gamecocks vs. Georgia

Freshman quarterback Luke Doty will be under center for South Carolina tonight vs. No. 9 Georgia. Details and analysis here.

We have expected to see freshman quarterback Luke Doty under center for South Carolina tonight vs. No. 9 Georgia and that is now confirmed, according to ABC Columbia’s Mike Gillespie.

Doty, a former 4-star recruit out of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, brings a dual-threat to a Gamecocks offense that will need some spark if they are going to give Georgia any type of battle.

Doty started the second half last week vs. Missouri, replacing senior Collin Hill and didn’t do much only managing 10 points, but showed promise particularly in the run game.

He completed 14 of 23 passes for 130 yards and an interception, while rushing 11 times for 59 yards.

He will face a Bulldogs defense that has been riddled with injuries this season. The Dawgs are still down star safety Richard LeCounte, who is out with rib injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident three weeks ago and star defensive lineman Jordan Davis has missed time with an elbow injury, however he may be able to go in Columba tonight.

The game is set to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. on SEC Network.

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.

UGA QB JT Daniels projected as 2021 first-round pick in latest NFL mock draft

CBS Sports projects Georgia QB JT Daniels as 2021 first round pick in latest NFL mock draft. Details and analysis here.

USC transfer quarterback JT Daniels seemed to turn some heads after his blistering 400-yard performance in his first start as a Georgia Bulldog.

He completed 28 of 38 passes for 401 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions vs. Mississippi State last Saturday and now, in the latest CBS Sports NFL mock draft, he’s projected as the No. 17 overall pick to the Chicago Bears.

CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso wrote, “Another swing at the quarterback position for the Bears. Daniels is a top talent with a strong arm, rapid release and accuracy to all levels of the field. And if he continues to play like did in his Georgia debut, there will be first-round buzz for him.”

Mock drafts at this point in the year are purely speculation as many variables are yet to be known before the draft takes place on April 29 – May 1.

JT Daniels missed 14 months of football after suffering an ACL tear in 2019 while at USC, and while he played great this passed Saturday, it was against a bad Mississippi State defense that sold out to stop the Georgia run game.

Point being, the sample size is not nearly large enough to expect Daniels as a mid first-round pick next year, even after a year under his belt at USC where he threw for 2,672 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Daniels will get another chance to prove his potential when No. 9 Georgia takes on South Carolina this Saturday night at 7:30 p.m., televised on SEC Network.

 

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.

5 reasons why Georgia beats South Carolina

No. 9 Georgia (5-2) travels to Columbia to face South Carolina (2-6) Saturday night. Here’s 5 reasons why the Dawgs win.

DawgNation, we’d usually be getting ready to watch Georgia take on Georgia Tech in the matchup of Clean Old Fashioned Hate, but just like everything in 2020, we have a curveball coming our way.

That’s right, No. 9 Georgia (5-2) travels to Columbia to face South Carolina (2-6) in what the SEC is calling ‘rivalry week’.

The Gamecocks are led by interim head coach, former Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, after South Carolina fired coach Will Muschamp after four mediocre seasons in Columbia.

Georgia is coming off of a 31-24 win vs. Mississippi State and a spectacular 400-yard showing by USC transfer JT Daniels in his first start at quarterback as a Bulldog.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on the SEC Network

Here is 5 reasons why the Dawgs get the win in Columbia.
