The South Carolina Gamecocks came to Georgia as massive underdogs, but coach Will Muschamp’s squad never gave up.
After leading 17-10 late in the fourth quarter, the Gamecocks watched as Georgia tied it up, sending it to overtime.
Then, in overtime, K Parker White missed a field goal, keeping the game alive. White hit a shorter field goal in double overtime, but Georgia K Rodrigo Blankenship — one of the most reliable kickers in the nation — had a chance to send it to triple overtime.
In a finish no one could have expected, Blankenship missed for the second time of the game, as you can see below:

Entering the game, Blankenship was 11-for-11 on field-goal tries. He went 1-for-3 on Saturday.
This was Georgia’s first loss of the season. A fall in the AP Poll is sure to follow.
