Georgia Bulldogs Roll-Over and Play Dead, 17-6 Gamecocks' Victory

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier brought in Marcus Lattimore to run the ball, and let his prize freshman do it all game against No. 22 Georgia. Lattimore rushed for 182 yards and two touchdowns to lead the 24th-ranked Gamecocks (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) to a 17-6 victory Saturday. Lattimore carried 37 times in his first SEC game, punching in two 2-yard TDs and sealing things during a long, fourth-quarter field goal drive. "I'm a little sore," Lattimore said. The fans chanted his name at the end as Lattimore pounded the Bulldogs (1-1, 0-1) again and again. "Marcus has a knack for finding a little crease," Spurrier said. It's what he can do after hitting the hole that has him leading South Carolina's offense. He pushed past the defensive line for his first 2-yard touchdown. Lattimore had two defenders on his back on his next score and dragged them into the end zone for a second 2-yard TD. He also had yardage on South Carolina's final scoring drive, starting with a 16-yard run and carrying eight of 11 plays to seal the game with Spencer Lanning's 24-yard field goal. "I wasn't expecting that," Lattimore said of his carries. "But it pays off for all the hard work."
