Prior to an upset victory by the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday at Sanford Stadium, the Georgia Bulldogs had not lost at home since a Nov. 26, 2016, defeat to Georgia Tech. That was the first season at the helm for Georgia coach Kirby Smart.

By not losing at home since then, Georgia did not have to worry about what happened after South Carolina won. Gamecocks players and coaches ripped out parts of the famous hedges that surround the field at Sanford Stadium. They celebrated by putting the hedges in their mouths and posing for photos.

South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner has now reportedly apologized to Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity for the destruction of parts of the hedges, according to DawgNation.

“Ray just apologized for those actions,” McGarity said. The Georgia athletic director added: “I don’t like it all. We sure don’t do that when we win at an opponents’ venue under Kirby’s leadership.”

Parts of South Carolina's postgame celebration on the field can be seen in the videos below.

"That's why you coach in this league," South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said about the celebration after the win. "That's why you coach at South Carolina. … Probably no one in the stadium, probably other than the parents, the kids sitting in the locker room and Ray Tanner believed we were going to win. … And President Caslen. He told me before the game, we were going to win."
