Gasps, surrender cobras, disbelief: Georgia fans were sad all around in upset to South Carolina
Georgia fans had a rough Saturday during and after the upset loss to South Carolina, 20-17, following a missed field goal attempt from Rodrigo Blankenship in the second overtime.
It ended Georgia’s 15-game winning streak against the SEC East, and put championship hopes in jeopardy for the No. 3 Bulldogs. Calls of “C’mon Big O,” and “Wake up, Georgia,” from the Sanford Stadium faithful went unanswered by the Bulldogs, as South Carolina didn’t register one turnover, and Georgia had 4. Georgia’s vaunted oversized offensive line and running game struggled to find a rhythm as it finished with 173 rushing yards on 43 attempts.
Disgrunted by the lack of consistent offense in a game where Georgia was a 24.5-point favorite, fans threw up surrender cobras in Sanford Stadium as QB Jake Fromm threw 3 interceptions, all to Israel Mukuamu. Blankenship’s second miss of the game came after South Carolina kicker Parker White missed a field goal attempt of his own in the first overtime.
Fromm’s 3 picks were the first of the season after he went 111 passing attempts through 5 games without one.
Georgia LB Adam Anderson was flagged for a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty on a late hit on South Carolina QB Ryan Hilinski in the third quarter.

ahhhh the sad fans. Been too long.
Corch ……king negan????? Where are you now?
Can’t wait to see the polls tomorrow….25. Georgia
UGA may very well still be top 10. If not, they won’t be far from it.
Uh, no way, losing a home game to an unranked team…with a third string QB no less. Can’t happen to a top 10 team.
I also said they won’t be far from it. ND was 9th, and UGA beat them. Texas was 11 and lost. Teams 12, 13, and 15 already have losses. I don’t think UGA falls much past 10. I’ll stick with that.
We won’t be Top 10. If we are, it will be because the powers that be are using the Dawgs’ ranking to validate someone else’s record. I’m calling somewhere between 10 – 15.
Lost to an unranked team with a 3rd string QB at home.. the voters will not be kind.
CBS has them projected to be ninth.
Crickets?? No Kirby, no mountain, no usmc??? Gosh, you guys sure have alot of time to spend on other teams articles,
I’m here and I’ll say Carolina deserved that win. Horrible game management and play calling but we got BEATEN by a team that wanted it more and with the third string QB. Peach Bowl here we come but at least we have the Braves…..I mean Falcons…..I mean Hawks….oh hell! #borntolose
Ahhhh
There is a lot everyone could say to pile on the idiot trolls like corch, tdow, ugarmy and others but for boxster and the few classier posters I just say tough loss. You have a really good team and still control your own destiny. To SC, I hope we turned a corner and have a good game when you visit Knox. Congrats on a great win again.
You forgot about Negan.
Jeez Fuzzy. You brought of several of the trolls I didn’t even come up with. Just shows the volume of them clogging up other teams articles. Most insufferable fan base of all. And that’s saying a lot, Tennessee included.
I think that is universally agreed upon. UGA games are the worst in college football and everyone celebrates them losing. Luckily UGA always seems to UGA every year.
*fans.
I feel Florida being the worst.
I wouldn’t say they’re the worst fans but they’re pretty awful. Ohio State fans are the undisputed worst.
UGA drank the poison. Media talked and talked and talked about UGA. Not one word about poor South Carolina, the charity case. That was a perfect set up for us. We had no chance and nothing to lose. Just quietly started making play after play and let’s see what happens mentality, and there you go.
Play calling was predictable and too conservative. I would think for $950,000 annually Coley could do better. When things are not working, make adjustments. Florida, Auburn, and A &M will take notice of this lack leadership and prepare defense accordingly. Wake up Dawgs!!!
I felt like them in January. Probably worse. But, to everyone saying Georgia controls their own destiny, do you really see that offense being able to keep up with Bama or LSU in the SECCG? Bama’s defense has been suspect but it wouldn’t be against such a conservative, predictable, and uninspired offense like what we witnessed today. If they don’t figure something out, they’ll go down to both Florida & Auburn. Possibly Mizzou, who leads the East right now.
