Jim Donnan: USC seems to have Georgia’s number
Between now and the season-opener against North Carolina on Sept. 3, we will ask 50 people: “What do you think about the Gamecocks in 2015?” We’re counting down the days until kickoff. Today’s panelist is Jim Donnan, former Georgia coach:
“The one thing that people around here (in Athens) are not conscious enough of is Georgia is talking about getting to the Alabama game 4-0, and South Carolina has beaten Georgia four out of the last five years. They seem to have their number. I don’t think by any stretch of the imagination (Georgia beating South Carolina) is a given. I feel like South Carolina, along with having an outstanding head coach, has a really good staff and guys that know their system and know what to do, particularly on offense. And the defense is going to mesh. They have a tough schedule any way you look at it, but they have been in a lot of big ballgames as a staff and they know how to get their team ready. And more than anything, they kind of have a burr in their saddle about the fact that nobody is really talking about them.”
