USC Gamecocks Football

Ace Sanders thinks he has biggest play in Gamecocks history vs. UGA. Do you agree?

It’s Georgia week, and former South Carolina football player Ace Sanders delivered a bold statement.

He tweeted out his belief his 70-yard touchdown against Georgia in 2012 is USC’s biggest play ever against Georgia. It’s a bold claim, but one with some merit.

“I think I have the biggest play in SC history against Georgia,” Sanders tweeted. “It always come around in full circle every year.”

The return put USC up 21-0 in the first quarter, basically finishing the game less than 10 minutes after it started. That 35-7 win remains South Carolina’s biggest win in the history of the rivalry.

But there are a few other good contenders for top Gamecocks plays against the Bulldogs.
