Gamecock fans rejoice in the most signature win of Will Muschamp's career
The hot seat talk is gone for a while after coach Will Muschamp delivered the most shocking and signature win of his career, especially at South Carolina.
Previously, the Gamecocks’ biggest win under Muschamp was a 2016 triumph against Tennessee.
With a backup quarterback, a running game that did just enough, and a defense, especially against the pass, that was smothering against Georgia, South Carolina prevailed 20-17 in Athens.
Muschamp, a Georgia alum, especially enjoyed the win even though he said it was more for the players. He plucked some of Sanford Stadium’s signature hedges as a parting gift.
Plenty of Gamecock fans enjoyed the victory. Here’s a sample of their reaction:
Coach Muschamp finally has a signature win as the Gamecock head coach. Hopefully he has enough healthy players for a chance at another one next week. #SpursUp

Beautiful win. We had every opportunity to believe we would lose and decided to win. Credit our players and coaches & the culture of belief of competitive greatness that has been built.
A year ago their running game bullied us. This year our will bullied theirs. #SpursUp

As much as I dislike muschamp and some of his decisions today. He won his must win game today in Kentucky and won a signature game against Georgia. This should help in recruiting. It really is a good day to be a gamecock.

Good for Muschamp and this team.
I hope this mentality is a mainstay! If so, and we can stay healthy, we can win out.
If you win out and the MU head to head becomes the deciding factor in the East.
T-W-I-L-I-G-H-T Z-O-N-E S-E-C
Congrats on winning the preseason national championship on the road!
It’s the 6th game of the season. What on earth are you talking about?!?
Compliment to you and knock on your opponent
lol Oskie even more reason why FPI is not credible. Congrats on your win today, honestly the Vols have a good chance to finish strong, the ride to Knoxville makes me more nervous now then in the preseason.
Happy for him. I’ve always liked him.
Ok,I’ll hold off on the Muschump chant for now. This is the best prepared and best game plan he’s had in 4 years. The question is can he reproduce this and build on it?
