You know, as bad as that South Carolina team is, I got to thinking about our trips there for about the last 20 years. We should never sneeze at a 14 point win there, or a win of any kind.
2014 – loss. With Todd Gurley to a team that went 7-6
2012 – loss. With Todd Gurley to a darn good team, but we got blown out, and it was one of Richt’s best 3-4 teams.
2010 – loss. No offense to the worst East champion ever and a team that eventually ended up 9-5.
2008 – won 14-7 with Moreno, Stafford and Green to a team that went 7-6. We were preseason #1.
2006 – won 18-0 to an 8-5 team, the most bizarre outcome of the last 20 years.
2004 – trailed 16-0 and won 20-16 to a Holtz team that went 6-5. It was Pollack and Greene’s senior season.
2002 – Richt’s best team needed a miracle, did not score an offensive TD and hung on getting a fumble inside our five yd line.
2000 – paging Quincy Carter. An 8-4 South Carolina team owned us.
1998 – We won 17-3 against a team that went 1-10. Yes, you’re reading that right. It was a team coached by Brad Scott.
1996 – We lost to a team that went 6-5
We were 5-5 in our last 10 trips there before Saturday. We don’t play well there for whatever reason. We won. Jacob was off, but think about some offensive clunkers we’ve put up in that stadium over the last 20 years. We couldn’t score with Murray, King, Gurley and Marshall in 2012!
Survive and advance.
