By Claudia Chakamian<\/span> South Carolina tried but couldn\u2019t spoil Georgia\u2019s unbeaten season, as the Bulldogs ran past the Gamecocks 24-10.<\/p>\n Carolina traveled to Athens Saturday hoping to knock off No. 2 Georgia and stake at least a partial claim to\u00a0<\/span>the <\/span>SEC east. \u201cI have to credit Georgia, they have a very good football team,\u201d head coach Will Muschamp said\u00a0following the loss. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of our guys though.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u00a0<\/span>took more than 13 minutes for the Bulldogs to put their first touchdown on the board, an 8-yard run by Sony Michel. The Gamecocks responded almost immediately, as Jake Bentley connected\u00a0with Bryan Edwards on 12-yard touchdown pass.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all South Carolina was able to muster until 11 minutes into the third quarter when Parker White made the 25-yard field goal.<\/p>\n The run game was a huge factor, and the Gamecocks were never able to slow down the Bulldogs\u2019 ground game.. Georgia rushed for 230 yards, while South Carolina ran for less than 50. Bentley commented on how difficult it was to run the ball, especially with the strength of their defense.<\/p>\n \u201cWe knew we had to be efficient in the passing game. (It was) Hard to run the ball against their defense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n It was the Jake show, Bentley against Fromm, in the quarterback battle, and Bentley ended with a good game. He passed for 227 yards, while Georgia\u2019s Jake passed for 196 yards. South Carolina\u2019s passing attack \u00a0kept them in the game, since \u00a0the run game was\u00a0nowhere to be found. The Gamecocks rushed for just 43 yards on the day.<\/p>\n White put four points on the board, with an extra point and a field goal. He missed one, early in the game from 46 yards out.<\/p>\n With the win and Kentucky’s loss, Georgia claimed the SEC East title and will play for the SEC Championship on Dec. 2.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.91″ custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FwJAsGP_Xc4&t=6s” _builder_version=”3.0.92″][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”2px|0px|37.9062px|0px”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px|0px|18.9531px|0px” custom_margin=”10px|||” _builder_version=”3.0.92″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Georgia-1.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” show_bottom_space=”off” admin_label=”Image 1″ _builder_version=”3.0.92″ custom_margin=”||2px|” custom_padding=”|||” animation_style=”slide” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_horizontal=”4px” box_shadow_vertical=”4px”] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Caption 1″ _builder_version=”3.0.92″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_font_size=”12px” text_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”8px|||2px” custom_padding=”|||”] The Georgia defense proved too much for USC offense, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":2161,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[38,66],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2152"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2152"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2152\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2200,"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2152\/revisions\/2200"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinanewsandreporter.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
