Dawgs Deliver Late, Beat Gators
The No. 2-ranked Georgia football came up with several big plays late in the game to knock off Florida, 34-20, on Saturday afternoon at EverBank Stadium, earning its fourth win in a row over the Gators. With the game tied 20-20, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck connected with wide receiver Dominic Lovett for a 10-yard touchdown with 4:01 to play in the game. That was followed soon after by an interception by linebacker CJ Allen, and running back Dwight Phillips, Jr. later scored on a 4-yard run to seal the victory for the Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 SEC).

Preparing to face Florida freshman QB DJ Lagway is not much different from Graham Mertz, out for the year with a torn ACL. “He made several plays where he trusted the pocket and stepped up and made really good throws. Threw the deep ball really well, like last game against Kentucky. It's not so much the change,” Smart said. “Obviously, he has a running ability, but Graham is a good athlete, too. So, it's not a huge change for me, too, in terms of what they ask him to do. I think he's capable of making explosives.”

Georgia has a good team. Offensively, starts with the veteran quarterback and veteran offensive line and just a multitude of skill players at every position. Defensively, they have an identity, and it starts with the personnel, the height length, the personnel certainly speed at the second, third level as well. I think it’s the ninth year for Kirby (Smart) here. Obviously, he’s established. They’ve got good processes across the board, and the personnel has been built over time. There’s quality, depth, there’s identity.

Fifth-ranked Georgia went on the road Saturday and knocked off top-ranked Texas, 30-15, in front of a crowd of 105,215 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Georgia's defense produced seven sacks and four turnovers and running back Trevor Etienne ran for three scores to lead the offense. The Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC) overcame three interceptions by Carson Beck thanks in large part to a defensive effort that held one of college football's top offenses — 43.2 points per game coming into Saturday — in check.

The Georgia Bulldogs hosted the Mississippi State Bulldogs eventually winning 41-31. But, as they say, it wasn’t pretty at times. It was UGA’s 28th straight home victory and improving to 5-1 overall and 3-1 in the Southeastern Conference. As is the case with a lot of Bulldogs games, it was a tale of two halves. The offense had their best game so far against an SEC team with quarterback Carson Beck completing 36 of 48 for a career-high 459 yards and three TDs. The 36 completions tied a team record.

UGA has their second straight home game as Mississippi State makes their way to Sanford Stadium on Saturday. The 4-1 Georgia Bulldogs enter this game as huge favorites.

Show MoreGeorgia gets back in win column by fending off Auburn once again
The Georgia football team that took the field Saturday was unlike any other going back to the 2020 season playing at Sanford Stadium. The Bulldogs weren’t unbeaten and not ranked No. 1 or No. 2 like they had been for each home game the past three seasons and the first game between the hedges this season. Ranked fifth this week, Georgia went ahead early and kept Auburn at bay in a 31-13 win in its SEC home opener and first game in Athens in four weeks. Trevor Etienne rushed for 81 yards and two TDs

Alabama blew a 28-point lead against No. 2 Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night.

Alabama didn't seal the victory until cornerback Zabien Brown intercepted quarterback Carson Beck's pass to receiver Colbie Young in the end zone with 43 seconds left to end Georgia's furious rally.

They slept in hotels. Some nights it was an aunt’s living room, other nights an uncle’s couch. The Starks family of four — mom, dad, daughter and son, Malaki — found shelter wherever they could, depending on the kindness of family and friends or finding the money when they could. Years later, Malaki Starks will say that one of the causes closest to his heart is homelessness because he knows what it was like. Between his 3rd- and 6th-grade, the family experienced it in and around their hometown of Jefferson, Ga.

College GameDay was ready to set up camp here Saturday for Georgia-Kentucky until the Wildcats were slapped around by South Carolina. It turns out the matchup was worth the prime-time slot it occupied on ABC. No. 1 Georgia had to dig deep to pull out a tougher-than-anyone-expected 13-12 win at Kroger Field. There are plenty of games that will warrant ESPN’s road show to follow Georgia around like Deadheads or Swifties go from town to town.

Tennessee Tech came in not expecting much except a $550,000 payday to get manhandled for a few hours by the #1 team in the country.
