South Carolina and Georgia fans may need to be keeping their eyes to the skies before and during today’s game between the Gamecocks and the Bulldogs. The Columbia area is currently experiencing some rain, with the start of the game delayed due to lightning.

The stands were cleared earlier and players were pulled off the field during pregame due to some tricky weather developing not far from Williams-Brice Stadium.
