Gamecocks host Georgia Saturday night
South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier met with the media Tuesday afternoon to preview Saturday's SEC East home game against Georgia. The Gamecocks and Bulldogs will kick off at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
Opening Statement
It's Georgia week. Both teams have gotten here 5-0. Just looking at the division records of all of our opponents in the east, only three of us have won a division game. The other four have not won one. It's sort of interesting we have a lot of big games coming up. If you're fortunate to keep winning, they all get bigger and bigger as you go. This is a big one for us. Back in 1984 when South Carolina was 5-0, 6-0, 7-0, did they play any other undefeated teams in that stretch? Somebody said it's the first time a couple of top 10 teams had played. I just wondered if there was one back then that South Carolina had played. Anyway it's a big game. Hopefully we'll have bigger ones as we go through the year. We're very healthy at this stage. We know what we do best. Defensively we play very well keeping guys out of the end zone. Offensively - except for those 1-yard line goal line stands we didn't convert two weeks in a row - we've been pretty efficient most of the way. We're looking forward to the game. It should be a huge crowd. I know our fans are fired up. I encourage our fans to be nice to Lee Corso. Lee Corso has been nice to us. I really believe he pulls for South Carolina a lot. He's a good guy. It should be fun. We look forward to these games. I'm sure Georgia does too. They have a rich tradition of history there. (more)
