Georgia coach Mark Richt has a wealth of offensive weapons.Georgia’s football coaches, players and fans were cheering Saturday night for Steve Spurrier and his South Carolina Gamecocks, who pulled a 27-24, double-overtime upset at previously undefeated Missouri.
Spurrier will not be returning the favor this week.
In a Southeastern Conference East Division race that seems to change by the snap, four teams are bunched as the calendar flips to November. South Carolina aided Florida and Georgia by knocking off the Tigers, but Spurrier would like for the Gators to dump the Bulldogs this week in Jacksonville since Georgia defeated South Carolina earlier this year.
“I root for Florida about all the time anyway, unless we need them to lose for us to gain something, of course,” Spurrier said Sunday. “South Carolina is obviously my team now, but I think I’ve pulled for Florida about every time they’ve played Georgia, that’s for sure. Florida’s still in the hunt, too. Everybody’s still in the hunt.
“A lot of stuff can happen between now and the end of the conference season.”
