BULLDOGS GLANCE• Georgia (1-0, 0-0 SEC) at South Carolina (1-1, 0-1 SEC)• Williams-Brice Stadium• Saturday, 3:30 p.m.• CBS & 102.3 FM
ATHENS, Ga. – Ray Goff was the coach, Eric Zeier the quarterback and “Forrest Gump” the can’t-miss movie the last time the Georgia Bulldogs scored more than 20 points inside South Carolina’s Williams-Brice Stadium.
The year was 1994, when the Bulldogs triumphed 24-21, and the Georgia quarterbacks who have tried since include Quincy Carter, David Greene, Matthew Stafford and Aaron Murray. Considering the Bulldogs are 5-4 in their last nine trips to Columbia, their points have been relatively few but precious.
“I could have gone without knowing that,” Georgia fifth-year senior quarterback Hutson Mason said Tuesday. “It’s a cool opportunity and a cool challenge. As the leader of the offense, I try and stay in the bubble of ‘What do we have to do to win this game?’
“History has said so-and-so or whatever, and I think it just kind of speaks on what a tough place it is to play and what a great team they have over there. We’ll see how it goes.”
