TV, commentators locked in for Georgia at South Carolina

The Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks football game will start at noon. Where can UGA fans watch the game?

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs are traveling to face the South Carolina Gamecocks in Georgia’s SEC opener. Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart is 27-2 over his last 29 games against SEC East opponents.

However, one of Kirby Smart’s two SEC East losses came to former South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp and the Gamecocks in 2019. Georgia co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp will return to Columbia, South Carolina, for his first game there since being the Gamecocks’ head coach.

The Georgia at South Carolina game will kick off at noon on Saturday, Sept. 17. The SEC East game will be televised on ESPN. ESPN’s broadcast crew is Sean McDonough, Todd Blackledge and Molly McGrath.

Georgia fans can listen to the radio broadcast on WSB AM 750 via the Bulldog Network. Georgia footballโ€™s radio team of Scott Howard (play-by-play), Eric Zeier (analyst) and DJ Shockley (sideline reporter) does a great job of covering the Dawgs.

(Watch and stream the game live on ESPN+)

The game will also be on ESPN radio with Mike Couzens, Max Starks and Mike Peasley.

The weather is projected to partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid 80s.

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs are 2-0 and South Carolina is 1-1. The Gamecocks opened the season with a 35-14 win over Georgia State at home. South Carolina lost 44-30 in Week 2 at Arkansas. The Gamecocks are looking to bounce back at home.

South Carolina ran for just 40 yards at Arkansas and will face a strong defensive front against Georgia. Quarterback Spencer Rattler and the Gamecocks had three turnovers against Arkansas and will need to take care of the football better if they want to upset Georgia.

Pair of key South Carolina defenders out for the season

South Carolina linebacker Mohamed Kaba,and pass rusher Jordan Strachan are expected to miss the remainder of the 2022 college football season.

The South Carolina defense lost two critical players to injury during its SEC opening game at Arkansas. The Gamecocks lost linebacker Mohamed Kaba, who has eight tackles this season and 32 tackles last season, for the 2022 college football season due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Additionally, South Carolina lost senior pass rusher Jordan Strachan for the season due to a torn ACL. Strachan, who previously transferred from Georgia State, has 10 tackles and a sack this year.

The Gamecocks will look to bounce back in Week 3 as they host the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs. However, South Carolina will be without both Strachan and Kaba for the remainder of the season. It is a tough blow for coach Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks.

Georgia is dealing with some injuries heading into the South Carolina game as well. The Bulldogs are banged up at the wide receiver position.

South Carolina’s depth will be tested on Sept. 17 against Georgia. The Bulldogs have one of the most talented teams in the country, but have not played on the road yet during the 2022 season.

The Bulldogs got revenge last year with a dominant 45-16 win. Kirby Smart and former South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp are looking to start a new home winning streak against South Carolina.

The Georgia football Twitter account dropped a South Carolina game hype video narrated by Richard Appleby. Appleby, is a key figure in Georgia football history. He focuses on the team, commitment to each other, improvement, and the importance of leaving a legacy in the trailer for UGA’s SEC opener.

Larry West, Horace King, Clarence Pope, Chuck Kinnebrew and Richard Appleby were the first African-American players at Georgia in 1971. The Bulldogs had an extremely successful 1971 season going 11-1. These players helped blaze the trail for later generations.

5 reasons why Georgia beats South Carolina

UGA takes on South Carolina Saturday night in Athens. Here’s 5 reasons why Georgia walks away with the win.

Georgia is set to take on South Carolina this Saturday night. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. for the SEC opener, which will be the first night game in Sanford Stadium since 2019.

The Gamecocks come to Athens in rebuilding mode. Former Georgia assistant Shane Beamer is at the helm, replacing new Georgia special teams coordinator Will Muschamp in Columbia.

South Carolina is led by graduate assistant quarterback Zeb Noland as former starter Luke Doty is recovering from an injury suffered in fall camp. The Gamecocks are coming off of a 20-17 win over East Carolina in week-two.

On the other side, Georgia is dealing with its own quarterback injury problems. Star J.T. Daniels missed last week with a core injury and Stetson Bennett, who stepped in and played great in Daniels place versus UAB, is dealing with a minor back injury.

Coach Kirby Smart was optimistic about both Daniels and Bennett’s status in his weekly press conference on Tuesday, but we probably won’t know who will lead the Bulldogs until Saturday.

Even with the offensive questions, Georgia’s defense is good enough to make up the slack.

Here’s five reasons why UGA beats the Gamecocks this weekend.

Georgia vs South Carolina: Sahvir Wheeler makes UGA history in loss

Sahvir Wheeler made Georgia basketball history in the South Carolina vs UGA basketball game.

Despite Georgia guard Sahvir Wheeler setting Georgia’s single season record for assists, the South Carolina Gamecocks beat the Bulldogs by a score of 91-70 on Saturday in Athens.

Georgia moves to 14-10 (7-10 SEC) following the game, which marks the Bulldogs’ 10th straight loss to the Gamecocks.

ย โ€œI did a poor job letting these guys know the level of fight and toughness that would be needed in this game,โ€ head coach Tom Crean said. โ€œWhen no one is in the fight, that falls back to the head coach.โ€

Wheeler recorded five assists on Saturday, giving him 170 on the season. That moves him past Pertha Robinson (169, 1994-95 season) for the most assists in a single season in UGA history.

Aside from Wheeler making UGA history, it was a day to forget for the sophomore guard out of Houston, Texas. Wheeler shot justย 2-of-13, including 0-for-4 from three. He finished with 7 points, 7 rebounds and 7 turnovers.

Georgia led South Carolina for a short period midway through the first half. ย South Carolina quickly put an end to that via a 13-0. The Gamecocks would never look back andย led the entire second half.

The Bulldogs return to the hardwood next Saturday against Alabama in Athens. Tipoff is set for 2pm.

Twitter reacts to Georgia football’s blowout win over South Carolina

Twitter reacts to Georgia Bulldogs football’s blowout 45-16 win over South Carolina Gamecocks. UGA football is now 6-2 on the season.

The Georgia Bulldogs dominated the South Carolina Gamecocks to win 45-16 in Columbia. The Dawgs have now won three straight games at South Carolina. Overall, the University of Georgia has won five of six games against the Gamecocks.

Of course, Will Muschamp and the Gamecocks won in Athens in 2019, but Kirby Smart and Georgia got revenge today. South Carolina was missing numerous players due to injuries and opt outs.

Georgia ran for over 300 yards and dominated South Carolina in the trenches on both sides of the football. Quarterback JT Daniels managed the game well for the Bulldogs. Georgia’s defense stepped up and limited South Carolina’s offense, which was the only bright spot for the Gamecocks.

Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter, the entire offensive line, running back James Cook, and freshman wide receiver Arian Smith stood out in UGA’s blowout victory.

Here’s how Georgia football Twitter reacted to the big win:

Watch: Georgia WR Arian Smith burns defense for first career TD

Georgia Bulldogs freshman wide receiver Arian Smith caught his first career touchdown pass from UGA quarterback JT Daniels

Georgia Bulldogs freshman wide receiver Arian Smith made an impact against the South Carolina Gamecocks when he burned the defense for a touchdown reception. Smith’s catch gave Georgia a 45-10 lead over South Carolina.

Quarterback JT Daniels completed the pass the Arian Smith, who gained a significant amount of separation. Georgia has a bright future at the wide receiver position between Smith, Jermaine Burton, and more.

Smith figures to be an elite deep threat next season. He was a highly rated recruit before coming to Athens, but he’s dealt with a few injuries, which prevented him from playing for much of this season.

Correction on this Tweet: it is JT Daniels, not DJ Daniel:
