GEORGIA-SOUTH CAROLINA SERIES

The Bulldogs lead the series with South Carolina 53-19-2, and they have won six out of the last seven in the series that dates back to 1894. Georgia left the Gamecocks behind 45-16 the last time the teams met in Columbia in 2020. Since becoming SEC Eastern Division rivals in 1992, the Bulldogs own a 20-10 lead in the series. The Bulldogs are 5-1 overall against the Gamecocks in the Kirby Smart era with the only loss coming in Athens (20-17) during the 2019 season while current Georgia assistant Will Muschamp was South Carolina’s head coach (2016-20). Georgia is 30-5 versus the SEC East during the Smart era and three of those losses came in 2016.

Gamecock head coach Shane Beamer was on Smart’s staff at Georgia in 2016-17 as tight ends coach and special teams coordinator. After serving in several roles for Oklahoma from 2018-20, Beamer took over at South Carolina before the 2021 season. The 1-1 Gamecocks fell 44-30 at No. 16 Arkansas over the weekend.
