The Daily Gamecock Monday, October 8, 2012 15

Andrew Askins / THE DAILY GAMECOCK ESPN College GameDay analyst Lee Corso correctly picked the Gamecocks to beat Georgia, donning the Cocky head and letting Sir Big Spur sip on Steve Spurrier’s wine. College GameDay analysts weigh in on Gamecocks

Georgia coach Richt praises Gamecocks’ defensive line Paulina Berkovich [email protected]

Asked if it was a relief to score one late to avoid being shut out, Georgia coach said shutouts are embarrassing and prompted everyone to reach for the record books to try to fi nd the last time Georgia was held scoreless. One reporter in the postgame press conference promptly supplied the answer to the unstated question: 1995. Almost nothing went right for Georgia in its 35-7 loss to USC. The defense allowed 100 yards of passing and two in the fi rst quarter, and the special teams gave up a 70-yard punt return by for a touchdown. The Bulldogs’ only score came as the clock ran down the final meaningless minutes of the fourth quarter. “I don’t think anyone could look in the mirror and say ‘I had a great day but the other boys didn’t,’” Richt said. “I don’t think either side of the ball could say ‘We did our job and the other boys didn’t.’ It was a team loss.” In spite of South Carolina’s dominance, the Bulldogs’ players and coaches echoed one theme: The fi rst loss of the season does not mean that their Beth Revelle / THE DAILY GAMECOCK season is over. UGA coach Mark Richt said the 35-7 loss to South Carolina was a team loss and the season isn’t over for Georgia. “Tonight we weren’t very good,” Richt said. “But the world hasn’t ended, and we do still have an awful enough athleticism to disrupt quarterback Aaron Richt said he couldn’t identify any weaknesses in lot to play for.

Clowney says Murray gave away snap by tapping center’s leg

Kyle Heck [email protected]

From the fi rst series of the game, South Carolina sophomore defensive end Jadeveon Clowney had a leg up on the Georgia offense. Because of the noise at Williams-Brice, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray had to tap his center to let him know when to snap the ball. Clowney fi gured out the strategy, and with his four tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack, he helped the Gamecocks shut down the Bulldog offense. “I couldn’t hear, so I know they couldn’t hear,” Clowney said. “He had to tap him and tell him when to snap the ball so I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to get a jump on this.’ I was kind of excited. I was like, ‘Well, I know when they’re going to hike the ball every time.’” Clowney, along with the rest of the defensive line, harassed Murray all night and the junior finished 11-31 with 109 yards and an , his worst performance of the season. “What you put on video will affect ,” said defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward. “They’ve seen us the first five ball games get after the quarterback and I thought (we) did a great job of affecting him tonight. We only sacked him twice, but I thought we really affected his throwing.” At the end of the first half, the Bulldogs had a fi rst-and-goal at the four-yard line, but UGA came away with no points after seniors D.J. Swearinger and Shaq Wilson stopped UGA Rantavious Wooten on the 1-yard-line. “If they don’t score, they don’t win,” said senior spur Devonte Holloman. The goal-line stand was especially demeaning for the Bulldogs because it came at the end of a 15-play, 80-yard drive that took more than fi ve minutes off of the clock — all for naught. “I wouldn’t call it arrogance, but we are pretty confident in the things that we do as a defense,” Holloman said. “We trust one another to do what they’re supposed to do and that’s how we get stuff done.” Defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward says there’s been an added emphasis on red-zone defense for the Chris Keohane / THE DAILY GAMECOCK Gamecocks this season. USC defensive end Jadeveon Clowney fi nished with four tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack against Georgia. “We really address when people get into our red- and Keith Marshall.

USC took 11 plays to score in militaristic fashion, with Lattimore running on every first down and Shaw passing on every second down. Shaw connected with tight end Rory Anderson on a 14-yard touchdown pass to give South Carolina a 14-0 lead. He was 6-of-10 passing for 162 yards and two touchdowns. After USC’s defense forced a three- and-out, Sanders had a 70-yard punt return for touchdown that gave the Gamecocks a three-touchdown lead with over fi ve minutes left in the fi rst quarter. “I didn’t field it cleanly — I actually dropped it,” Sanders said. “I just had to scramble to pick it up because I saw the lane open up, so I did my best to pick it up and just hit it as fast as I can.” Lattimore and Shaw each added a rushing touchdown in the second half, while the defense blanked UGA until its fi nal drive, making the Gamecocks one of two undefeated teams in the division, joining Florida, which knocked off No. 4 LSU. The Gamecocks will play at LSU next week before facing a likely undefeated Chris Keohane / THE DAILY GAMECOCK Gators team in Gainesville on Oct. 20.
