What can we learn about the Gamecocks if Georgia wins?

If South Carolina fails to defeat Georgia Saturday, it may send some panic through the minds of the

fans.
Will a loss to the Bulldogs mean SC Head Coach Steve Spurrier's program-building project has peaked? Are three-in-a-row 11-win seasons the pinnacle?
The Gamecocks lost to Georgia last year, in Athens. And South Carolina began this season with an embarrassing 52-28 loss to Texas A&M.
Have the bad ol' days come back to Columbia? Fans may begin to fear that, on a larger scale, if South Carolina cannot take care of a team that it has come to expect to beat, at home.
Also: Will a loss to Georgia mean Mike Davis' best performances are behind him? The highly talented RB needs to be close to, or be better-than, the Bulldogs' Todd Gurley, today.
Another question, if Georgia wins, will surface.
Did the Gamecocks squander the success of All-World Jadeveon Clowney, by not using him as a calling-card to attract top-notch talent on defense? 
Are there not enough good players on D to beat a good football opponent? If so, why? 
Will a loss, especially if it can be pinned on the D, mean that 2014 is already a bust, compared to the previous three years?
And will a Georgia loss mean that the Gamecocks have the wrong coaches on defense, with the only option being to tread water until the end of the season to make needed, and overdue changes?
Is 2014 a chance to extend the Spurrier success, or a rebuilding year?

After the Georgia game, we should know a lot more?
