How much had the offenses sputtered in the SEC East battle between South Carolina and Georgia before Stephen Garcia hit Alshon Jeffery on a 34-yard touchdown pass? Perhaps it's best to just describe what happened a few moments before.
South Carolina Vs. Georgia Score: Gamecocks Lead After Alshon Jeffery TD, Timeout Confusion
Trailing 6-0 and sitting at his own 29 on fourth-and-one, Steve Spurrier decides to go for it with more than 10 minutes left in the half. That’s vintage Spurrier -- impatient and impetuous. But something goes awry with time management, and the Gamecocks call a timeout.
Steve Spurrier does not reconsider. He sends the offense back out on the field, and once the pre-snap motion is setting down -- Georgia calls timeout. Steve Spurrier still does not reconsider his decision. The Gamecocks take the field again -- and call a timeout. At which point they decide to punt it anyways.
Meanwhile, Georgia’s offense has shown an amazing ability to get deep into Gamecock territory and break down. Despite having an almost 50-yard advantage in total offense, the Bulldogs led by just a score before Garcia and Jeffery connected.
