Georgia offense looks to end drought in Columbia

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Georgia is one of the nation’s most dynamic offensive teams.

Well, except when the Bulldogs travel to South Carolina.

Sixth-ranked Georgia hasn’t scored more than 20 points at Williams-Brice Stadium in the past two decades. The last nine trips to Columbia have produced an average of just 13 points a game.

Compare that with Georgia’s other games. Since a 35-7 loss at South Carolina two years ago, the Bulldogs are averaging nearly 37 points a game and have been held under 20 only a couple of times.

Georgia (1-0) will be looking to reverse that trend when it travels to No. 24 South Carolina on Saturday. This is the Bulldogs’ Southeastern Conference opener, while the Gamecocks (1-1, 0-1) can’t afford another loss after being routed by Texas A&M.
