It is time for Georgia Bulldogs fans to get excited for Saturday’s football game versus the South Carolina Gamecocks. The game is Georgia’s SEC opener as the Bulldogs look to make it back to the SEC Championship.
First things first, Georgia needs to beat South Carolina.
Georgia is hosting the South Carolina for the first time since 2019, when the Dawgs lost to South Carolina in a double-overtime thriller.
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.
