Kickoff time, TV channel set for South Carolina-Georgia rivalry game
South Carolina football will return from its open week and go for a major upset against rival Georgia at noon on Saturday, Oct. 12, televised on ESPN, the SEC announced Monday.
The Bulldogs, ranked No. 3 in the nation, take on Tennessee this Saturday, while the Gamecocks are on bye. UGA has won the last four meetings between the border rivals, with USC coach Will Muschamp still looking for his first win against Georgia coach Kirby Smart, his old college teammate and coworker.
Carolina has not beaten Georgia on the road since 2011, and the Bulldogs have not lost to anyone at Sanford Stadium since 2016, a streak of 16 consecutive wins in Athens.
The last time Georgia and South Carolina played at noon was in 2010, when the Gamecocks won 17-6 and Marcus Lattimore rushed for more than 100 yards.
The Gamecocks have already snapped one SEC losing streak this season, defeating Kentucky this past Saturday, 24-7, for the first time since 2013.
