Game notes (from South Carolina media relations)

BEAMER SEES RED: First-year South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer served on Kirby Smart’s staff at Georgia as the tight ends coach and special teams coordinator in 2016 and ‘17. This is the ninth time Coach Beamer has been on the sidelines for Carolina-Georgia. He has been on the winning sideline in four of the previous eight contests.

GEORGIA ON MY MIND: Gamecock analyst Greg Adkins served on the Georgia coaching staff from 1996-2000. DFO George Wynn started for three years at Georgia and served as a team captain as a senior, graduating in 1992.

OLD FRIEND ALERT: UGA’s co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp served as the Gamecocks’ head coach from 2016-20, posting a 28-30 record. Mike Bobo and Bryan McClendon, who both worked on Muschamp’s staff at South Carolina, now toil on Kirby Smart’s staff at Georgia. Bobo is the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach while McClendon serves as the passing game coordinator. All three are UGA grads.
