After another disappointing loss over the weekend, the University of South Carolina dismissed head football coach Will Muschamp from his position.

Muschamp, who took over as the Gamecocks’ head coach prior to the 2016 season, saw his team continue to struggle this season after a 4-8 season in 2019 that put his job status in jeopardy.

The Gamecocks, who after losing 59-42 to Ole Miss on Saturday dropped to 2-5 on the season, decided to make the decision and move on after not seeing improvement this year.

Muschamp started off well in his tenure at South Carolina after being hired by the team in 2016. While not being one of the top teams in the conference, the Gamecocks made bowl games in each of his three seasons at the helm and finished with winning records in 2017 and 2018.

However, it became clear to the school’s administration that things were going the wrong way after the past two season’s failures.

Athletic director Ray Tanner said after announcing the move on Sunday, “We appreciate all that Will Muschamp has done for our program and wish him and his family the best moving forward.”

Offensive coordinator and former Colorado State head coach Mike Bobo will serve as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

The Georgia Bulldogs’ pursuit of perfection came to a screeching end on Saturday after they were stunned at home by the South Carolina Gamecocks.

The two-time reigning SEC East Champions couldn’t get the job done against the unranked and unheralded Gamecocks on Saturday in a noon game that they never seemed fully into.

Georgia went into the game with a perfect 5-0 record and as 25-point favorites against a 2-3 South Carolina team that wasn’t expected to be competitive.

However, in college football, nothing is a given.

Carolina benefited from four Georgia turnovers, all of which were committed by Georgia QB Jake Fromm (3 interceptions, 1 fumble). They held the Bulldogs’ high-flying attack to only 17 points, their lowest total of the year.

The biggest play of regulation was arguably Israel Mukuamu’s interception return for a touchdown that put Carolina up 17-10 just before halftime.

Despite being outgained 468-297 by the Dawgs, the Gamecocks found themselves deadlocked at the end of regulation after a late Fromm TD pass which tied the game.

After a Parker White chip shot field goal gave Carolina a 20-17 lead in overtime, they forced Georgia to attempt a 42-yard field goal after holding them without a gain in their offensive possession.

Rodrigo Blankenship missed the kick, putting Georgia’s season and National Championship aspirations in serious trouble.
