Georgia hasn’t lost but the back-to-back national champions aren’t as formidable as the last two years.
Let’s start there when discussing Georgia’s uneven start to the season.That can’t be forgotten or dismissed.
It blew out the other three outclassed opponents, UT Martin, Ball State and UAB, games that certainly seem to be a detriment to Georgia’s development.Aside from SEC punching bag Vanderbilt, the cupcake portion of the schedule is now over. If Georgia doesn’t get better soon, that winning streak is going to end, starting Saturday in Athens, Ga. against undefeated Kentucky. The surprising Wildcats are coming off a 33-14 blitzing of Florida.
The rushing attack, a Georgia staple, has been underwhelming. The Bulldogs ran for just 107 yards against Auburn and are 79th in the country, averaging 148.6 yards per game. It notched more than 205 yards per game last year and 190 the year before. Perhaps these close calls will get Georgia going. Smart can certainly use them as motivation, as evidence that this team isn’t as good as its predecessors. It will sure be interesting to see how the Bulldogs perform at home next Saturday, against their toughest opponent to date.
