Steve Spurrier became the first coach in college football to post 16 career victories over Georgia on Saturday night in Columbia after South Carolina held off the Bulldogs, 38-35, in an instant classic in the SEC East.
Spurrier’s decision to go for it on 4th-and-inches at midfield nursing a three-point lead with 1:26 remaining was a patented gutsy call from the Head Ball Coach and it paid off for the Gamecocks who are still alive in the division.

Spurrier: "Sometimes all you can say is that it was our turn to win. We were meant to win this game, and Georgia was not."
