Georgia springs first-quarter onside kick on South Carolina

It was successful.

Perhaps the most important aspect of Georgia recovering the kick was forcing South Carolina’s defense back on the field. The Gamecocks looked winded against North Carolina last week, especially on the defensive line.

The Dawgs added a field goal on the ensuing drive to make the score 10-3 after converting on a 4th-and-13 situation. South Carolina is leaving UGA’s tight ends wide open and it’s costing them greatly.
