Top Storyline: Georgia Loses Receiver Malcolm Mitchell for Season
Not only did Georgia lose a heartbreaker to Clemson in Week 1, the Bulldogs also lost receiver Malcolm Mitchell, who tore his ACL...while celebrating.
Obviously, Georgia was still able to pile up 35 points against Clemson without Mitchell—who suffered his injury in the first quarter—but it may be more difficult to make up for Mitchell's loss against South Carolina. Clowney will be determined to bounce back and prove his doubters wrong.
While Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray and running back Todd Gurley will find ways to score against the Gamecocks without Mitchell, one less piece on offense could be the difference in the final outcome.
Prediction: South Carolina 27, Georgia 24
This should be a nailbiter featuring a rejuvenated Clowney and a Georgia team amped up at home.
South Carolina has the defense to at least contain Murray and Co., while Georgia showed against Clemson that it still has plenty of work to do on the defensive side of the ball.
Also, given Gamecocks running back Mike Davis' performance against North Carolina, the Bulldogs have a challenge on their hands after missing several tackles against Clemson.
