outlook for 2020

he Georgia football team will charge into the 2020 spring drills with a strong foundation in place — even with the departures of some of the most popular and talented players in school history.

Georgia went 12-2 last season, capping the campaign with a 2614 victory over Baylor in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. That win, appropriately enough on the first day of 2020, figured to be a springboard into this season.

Coach Kirby Smart’s fifth Georgia roster features a graduate transfer in Jamie Newman in the quarterback competition; up-and-coming tailbacks in Zamir White, James Cook, and Kenny McIntosh; one of the nation’s most electric receivers in George Pickens; versatility on the offensive line; and one of the most talented defensive units assembled, not just at the conference level but nationally. Smart also has new members of his coaching staff in offensive coordinator Todd Monken, offensive line coach Matt Luke, and special teams coordinator Scott Cochran.

As always, there are players to replace and holes to fill, but that work begins in the spring. Georgia has an infusion of young talent with several early enrollees and the graduate transfer available now, with additional help on the way for fall camp.

QUARTERBACKS

The Georgia offense — now coordinated by Todd Monken, most recently of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns — will have a new quarterback under center for the first time in three seasons following the departure of Jake Fromm. And it appears that Georgia could have a spirited competition for the job beginning this spring.

Jamie Newman joined the Bulldogs as a graduate transfer from Wake Forest, where he passed for nearly 4,000 yards and 35 touchdowns in 2018 and 2019. Newman also provides a running dynamic as he picked up another 800 yards and 10 scores during that span. Stetson Bennett was Fromm’s backup a year ago, seeing limited action in five games and connecting on two touchdown passes and rushing for another. D’Wan Mathis sat out the 2019 campaign following a medical procedure, but he is expected to throw his hat in the ring this spring. Mathis had more than 4,500 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing his final two years of high school. Carson Beck is an early enrollee whose prep career included being named the USA Today Florida Offensive Player of the Year and Florida’s Mr. Football. He had more than 5,000 yards passing and a total of 67 passing and rushing touch-

As a freshman last season, George Pickens led Georgia in receptions, receiving yards and TD catches. He capped the 2019 season by catching 12 passes for 175 yards and a TD in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, earning MVP honors.

downs. Nathan Priestley, who saw action in two games in 2019, and John Seter are back in the fold to provide additional options.

RUNNING BACKS

With stalwarts D’Andre Swift and Brian Herrien off to the NFL, the Bulldogs will turn to a stable of talented underclassmen. Zamir White followed Swift and Herrien with 408 yards and three touchdowns, highlighted by 92 yards and a score in his first career start in the Sugar Bowl. James Cook pitched in 188 yards and two scores and added another 132 yards in the passing game. Kenny McIntosh picked up 174 yards and a pair of touchdowns during his rookie campaign. Special teams ace Prather Hudson also returns for depth and experience. Kendall Milton is an early enrollee from California who had more than 2,800 yards and 50 touchdowns his final two prep seasons. Georgia also has Sevaughn Clark, Anthony Summey, Darius Jackson, Garrett Jones, and KJ McCoy.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Led by the Sugar Bowl MVP, this group is both talented and deep.

George Pickens is the Bulldogs’ leading returning receiver after hauling in 49 passes for 727 yards and eight touchdowns. He earned MVP honors in the Sugar Bowl with 12 catches (a Georgia bowl record) for 175 yards and a score, then added Freshman All-America and All-SEC recognition. Demetris Robertson ranked behind Pickens with 30 catches for 333 yards and three touchdowns. Dominick Blaylock had accumulated 310 yards and five touchdowns before being derailed in the SEC Championship Game with a knee injury that will sideline him during spring drills. The Bulldogs also return veterans Matt Landers, Kearis Jackson, Tommy Bush, and Trey Blount.

Makiya Tongue showed solid progression during his redshirt campaign, and early enrollee Justin Robinson led his team to a fourth consecutive state title as he posted 903 yards and 11 touchdowns receiving as a senior. Reid Tulowitzky, Ty James, Patrick Bond, Jaylen Johnson (who appeared in three games a year ago), and Cameron Moore are back to give the coaches additional looks. Kaustov Chakrabarti, Kevin Murphy, Connor Shaw, Brady Tindall and George Vining recently joined the program as well.

Redshirt sophomore Zamir White is the Bulldogs’ top returning rusher, having gained 408 yards on just 78 carries last season.

three of which were behind the line, while Nolan Smith contributed 18 total and 2.5 for loss. Georgia also welcomes back Robert Beal, Walter Grant, Adam Anderson, and Matthew Brown.

INSIDE LINEBACKERS

Monty Rice, the Bulldogs’ leading tackler in 2019, returns to anchor this area both on and off the field. The All-SEC performer rolled up 89 stops a year ago — 27 more than the next closest Bulldog. Nakobe Dean added 25 stops during his rookie season and Quay Walker pitched in 23. Georgia additionally returns Nate McBride, Channing Tindall, and Trezmen Marshall, while Rian Davis is back from injury to show off his skills.

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 Review History

DEFENSIVE BACKS

All-SEC linebacker Monty Rice earned the team’s Defensive Co-MVP honors last season as a junior. His 89 total tackles led the Bulldogs by a wide margin.

The secondary developed as a strength for the 2019 Bulldogs, and it appears to have maintained that reputation heading into 2020, even with the loss of J.R. Reed to the pros. Richard LeCounte made 61 tackles from his safety position and paced Georgia with four interceptions and three fumble recoveries. Mark Webb posted 46 stops, while Divaad Wilson added 24, and Lewis Cine had 20. Georgia also will take a look this spring at Christopher Smith, Latavious Brini, and William Poole. Cine, Wilson, and Brini all had interceptions a year ago. Major Burns is an early enrollee who will throw his hat in the ring. At corner, DJ Daniel is the leading returning tackler with 42, followed by All-SEC honoree Eric Stokes with 38. The Bulldogs also have back Tyson Campbell, Ameer Speed, and Tyrique Stevenson.

Early enrollee Jalen Kimber will get a look as well. Stevenson, Webb, Wilson, and Poole are the top candidates at the star/nickel slots. Georgia has Hugh Nelson, Jake Wilson, and Dan Jackson for more options.

SPECIALISTS turn to John FitzPatrick to be the leader at tight end this spring. FitzPatrick, appeared in 11 games a year ago and hauled in a 22-yard pass. Versatile Ryland Goede — who could see action with Georgia’s baseball team as a first baseman — played in two games but still earned redshirt status. Brett Seither Mitchell Werntz, Chase Harof, Jarrett Freeland, and Kolby Wyatt remain in the fold, while Davis Day and Michael Hagerty will be joining the squad this spring.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

First-year offensive line coach Matt Luke has inherited a crew laden with both experience and depth, despite losing Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wilson and Solomon Kindley early to the NFL Draft. All-SEC performer Trey Hill started the 14 games at center, anchoring a line that paved the way for 408 yards and 30 points per game a year ago. He likely will be backed up by Clay Webb. At guard, the Bulldogs have options with Webb, Warren Ericson (who also could get a look at center), Ben Cleveland, and the nowhealthy Justin Shaffer. The top candidates at tackle are Jamaree Salyer, Warren McClendon, Xavier Truss, and Owen Condon. Daniel Gothard, Hayden Rubin, Blake Watson, and David Vann will provide additional depth for Georgia.

First-year special teams coordinator Scott Cochran will use the spring to begin the search for the replacement for kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, one of the most prolific specialists in school annals. During camp, Brooks Buce, Jack Podlesny, Luke Venco, Josh Winnett, and Shaw (from the receiving corps) figure to have a spirited competition. Newcomers Michael Greco, Ethan Suda, and Matthew Sumlin have the ability to both kick and punt.

Jake Camarda has handled the punting duties each of his first two seasons, including 2019 when he averaged 46.8 yards. Bill Rubright and Noah Chumley will hone their punting skills during spring drills as well. Payne Walker, JC Vega, and William Mote are the top candidates at snapper this spring. Kearis Jackson, Cook, Robertson, and Blaylock (once healthy) figure to lead the way on returns.

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN

A year ago, the Bulldogs successfully rotated the members of the defensive line, and the numbers indicate they will be able to do so again. Georgia’s defensive linemen were effective in the trenches against the run and in chasing down opposing quarterbacks. Devonte Wyatt led the interior players with 30 tackles, followed by Malik Herring (26, including five for loss), Jordan Davis (18, 4.5 for loss), and 2019 Freshman All-SEC performer Travon Walker (15, 3.5 for loss). Veteran Julian Rochester was slowed by injury most of last season and decided to return for a final campaign. Georgia also has back Netori Johnson, Bill Norton, Tramel Walthour, Tymon Mitchell, Zion Logue, and Tyler Malakius. Warren Brinson is an early enrollee who will try to impress the Georgia coaches this spring.

OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS

The Bulldogs return basically all of their key contributors from a year ago at this position. 2019 Freshman All-American Azeez Ojulari rolled up 36 tackles, including six for loss. Jermaine Johnson followed with 20 stops,

Richard LeCounte returns as one of the Bulldogs’ biggest playmakers on defense. As a junior last season, he led the team with four interceptions, three fumble recoveries and two caused fumbles.

Fifth Year Of The Smart Era

Georgia enters the fifth year of the Kirby Smart era with three consecutive appearances in the SEC Championship Game. During that span, the Bulldogs have gone 36-7, including 12-2 in 2019 during a season that ended with a victory over #7 Baylor in the Sugar Bowl.

The Bulldogs welcome back 54 lettermen, including 21 on offense, 31 on defense and two on special teams.

Vaunted Defense Returns

The Bulldogs are expected to have one of the nation’s top defenses again in 2020. Georgia led the country in Scoring Defense (12.6 points/game) and Rushing Defense (74.6 yards/game). The Bulldogs allowed only two rushing touchdowns last season (both by quarterbacks) to lead the nation and set a school record with the lowest total in the SEC since 1970 (LSU).

Eight of Georgia’s top tacklers from 2019 return, including the team’s leading tackler in senior Monty Rice (89 tackles), the squad’s sack leader in redshirt sophomore Azeez Ojulari (5.5) and senior Richard LeCounte, who was UGA’s leader in interceptions (three), fumble recoveries (three) and forced fumbles (two, tied with returner Mark Webb).

2020 Bulldog Spring Storylines

www.georgiadogs.com

Georgia has three new on the field coaches for the upcoming campaign. The first hire was Associate Head Coach/Offensive Line Coach Matt Luke, who joined the Bulldogs after serving as the Ole Miss head coach for three seasons. Luke began in December and was part of the coaching staff during Georgia’s victory over #7 Baylor in the Sugar Bowl. Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken was the next addition to Smart’s staff in January. Monken arrived in Athens after spending a year as the Cleveland Browns’ OC. He also was the OC for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for three years prior to his stop in Cleveland and had three years as the Southern Mississippi head coach earlier in his career. The Bulldogs final addition to its staff was Special Teams Coordinator Scott Cochran in February. Cochran, who worked with Smart nine seasons at Alabama, had served as the head strength and conditioning coach for the Tide since 2007.

Georgia Signs One Of Nation’s Top Classes

For the third year in a row, the Bulldogs inked one of the nation’s top signing classes. Georgia added 25 prospects during the December and February signing periods, including top-rated players from Texas, Nevada, California and Arizona.

Bulldogs Welcome Six Early Enrollees

Six early enrollees started school in January and are working out with the team while they take their first classes at Georgia. QB Carson Beck (Jacksonville, Fla.), DT Warren Brinson (Bradenton, Fla.), DB Major Burns (Baton Rouge, La.), DB Jalen Kimber (Mansfield, Texas), RB Kendall Milton (Clovis, Calif.) and WR Justin Robinson (McDonough, Ga.) make up a portion of the Bulldogs’ signing class that was ranked No. 1 nationally by Rivals.

Battle Begins To Take Over As Bulldog Signal Caller

Early enrollee Carson Beck will join junior Stetson Bennett, redshirt freshman D’Wan Mathis and graduate transfer Jamie Newman as four Georgia quarterbacks vying to replace three-year starter Jake Fromm who left early to pursue an NFL career after going 35-7 as a starter.

Fromm started an FBS best 42 consecutive games for the Bulldogs. Beck completed 136 passes for 1,843 yards and 20 touchdowns last season for Mandarin HS (Fla.) while also rushing for six scores. Bennett, who is in his second stint with the Bulldogs after playing at Jones County Junior College (Miss.), played in five games for the Bulldogs last year and was 20-for-27 for 260 yards and two touchdowns. Mathis redshirted 2019 after having brain surgery last spring. Newman arrived in January after playing the last three years at Wake Forrest. In 2019, Newman led the Demon Deacons to an 8-5 record by going 220-for-360 for 2,868 yards and 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

The Bulldog offense will be led in 2020 by new Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken, who spent the last four years in a similar capacity with a pair of NFL teams. Georgia returns leading receiver sophomore George Pickens, who had 49 catches for 727 yards and eight touchdowns and was the Most Outstanding Player during the Sugar Bowl victory. The Bulldogs also feature returnees senior Demetris Robertson (30-333-3) and sophomore Dominick Blaylock (18-310-5). Blaylock injured his knee during the SEC Championship Game and will be rehabbing to prepare for the fall.

Revamped Offensive Line

The Bulldogs return junior center Trey Hill, who started all 14 games for the Bulldogs last season, along with senior Ben Cleveland, who had seven starts in 2019, and junior Jamaree Salyer, who got the nod in a pair of games including at right tackle in the Sugar Bowl. Redshirt sophomore Warren Ericson started at right guard in the Sugar Bowl in his first career start. Also returning will be junior Justin Shaffer, who was sidelined with a neck injury after six games last season. New OL coach Matt Luke will be aiming to replace LT Andrew Thomas, RT Isaiah Wilson and LG Solomon Kindley, who all left early for the NFL. In addition, Cade Mays, who started 10 games last year, transferred during the offseason.

dawg tracks 2020 Senior Class Takes Aim At School Record

Early Preview Of 2020 Defense

* The 2020 Bulldog senior class enters its final campaign with a 36-7 record. They have a chance to set the school record for the most wins. * The 2019 seniors tied the mark when they notched their 44th victory after the Sugar Bowl triumph over Baylor. Last year’s group matched the 2005 class that went 44-9 with a pair of SEC titles. The 2019 class finished with a 44-12 record, one SEC title, three consecutive SEC Eastern Division crowns and was the 2018 CFP Runner-Up.

* Georgia got a partial look at its future defense during the Sugar Bowl win over Baylor as a handful of younger players saw increased playing time.

In that contest, Georgia held the Bears to a season low 14 points. Georgia blanked the Bears in the first half, holding them to 97 yards of total offense (22-pass, 75-pass). * The Bears entered the bowl game averaging 35.2 points a game and 431.2 yards a game. The Bears finished with 295 yards of offense. * One thing Georgia aimed to do in 2019 was create havoc including turnovers, sacks and tackles for loss. Georgia entered the Sugar Bowl with a net zero in Turnover Margin while the Bears were among the nation’s leaders at +14. The Bulldogs ended up creating three turnovers (for seven points) while Baylor did not force any. * Georgia’s leading tacklers were DJ Daniel with a career-high eight while Lewis Cine had six in just his second career start. Azeez Ojulari finished with five stops, one sack and one forced fumble against the Bears.

Richard LeCounte tied a Bulldog bowl record with a pair of interceptions. * The Bulldogs finished the season with 31 sacks, recovered eight fumbles and had eight interceptions. With an abundance of talent returning on defense, the Bulldog defense could be even better in 2020.

Setting The Tone On The Ground * Despite losing their top two rushers from 2019, the Bulldogs have an array of running backs in the backfield for the coming season. * Redshirt sophomore Zamir White was third on the squad last year with 408 yards and three touchdowns on just 78 carries (5.2 avg.). White posted a career-high 92 yards and a score during the win over #7 Baylor in the Sugar Bowl. * Junior James Cook and sophomore Kenny McIntosh were also regular contributors for the Bulldogs in the backfield last year. * While Cook had 31 carries for 195 yards (6.1 avg.) and two touchdowns on the ground, he was also a threat in the passing game. He caught 16 passes for 132 yards. * McIntosh carried the ball 25 times for 179 yards and also had a pair of touchdowns. * Early enrollee Kendall Milton will also provide depth for the Bulldogs at running back. Milton arrives as an All-American from Clovis, Calif., and is considered a top-five running back prospect. * D’Andre Swift entered the 2020 NFL Draft following a junior season that saw him eclipse more than 1,000 yards for the second straight year. The 2019 Maxwell Award semifinalist had 1,218 yards on 196 carries (6.2 avg.) and a team-leading seven rushing touchdowns to pace the Bulldogs. * Brian Herrien completed his senior season in 2019 with 490 yards rushing and six scores on 103 carries (4.8 avg.) in 2019.

Receivers Return For New Signal Caller * The Bulldogs welcome back half of their top 10 receivers from 2019, including leading receiver George Pickens who earned Most Outstanding Player honors at the Sugar Bowl with 12 catches for 175 yards (both career highs) and a score. * Senior Demetris Robertson (30-333-3) was third on the team last year and sophomore Dominick Blaylock was sixth (18-310-5) and both return in 2020. Blaylock will continue his rehab this spring from a knee injury sustained during last year’s SEC Championship Game. * In addition, junior Matt Landers returns after having the best game of his career in the Sugar Bowl with three catches for 25 yards and his first career score. * Both of Georgia’s regular tight ends from 2019 - Charlie Woerner and Eli Wolf - have graduated and are working out for NFL teams. With their departure, redshirt sophomore John FitzPatrick along with signee Darnell Washington and redshirt freshmen Ryland Goede and Brett Seither will be vying for playing time. * With three-year starting QB Jake Fromm leaving for the NFL, the Bulldogs will be looking to fill the void under center.

Replacing Rodrigo * For the first time since 2015, Georgia will be looking for a new placekicker after All-American and 2019 Lou Groza Award winner Rodrigo Blankenship has graduated. Blankenship finished his career with a school record 440 career points. Also, he set the SEC record for consecutive PATs hitting 200 straight in his career. * The Bulldogs do return junior Jake Camarda at punter. Camarda had one of the finest seasons ever by a Bulldog punter as he averaged 46.8 yards/ punt, which ranked second in school history. * Through two seasons, he’s averaging 45.1 yards/punt, which would place him in the top three in school history. Camarda’s 42.1 net punting average in 2019 ranked second in UGA history.

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 Review History

Strength At Linebacker

* While the Bulldogs’ second-leading tackler from last year in Tae Crowder has graduated and is preparing for his opportunity in the NFL, Georgia has a deep corps at ILB and OLB. * Senior Monty Rice registered a team-leading 89 stops in 2019 and started all 14 games at ILB. Sophomore Nakobe Dean, who tallied 25 tackles and forced a fumble in his first season, is a leading candidate to complement Rice in the middle. * Redshirt sophomore Azeez Ojulari had a team-leading 5.5 sacks to go along with 36 stops and a forced fumble in his first season. Sophomore Nolan Smith (18 tackles, 2.5 sacks), junior Quay Walker (23 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss), senior Jermaine Johnson (20 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss) and sophomore Travon Walker (15 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss) are poised to strengthen this group even more in 2020. * Additional support is expected from senior Walter Grant, junior Robert Beal, junior Channing Tindal, junior Adam Anderson and sophomore Trezmen Marshall at LB in the fall.

Did You Know? * In 2019, Georgia held 13 of its 14 opponents under 20 points. Before the 2019 SEC Championship Game, Georgia and Clemson were the only two teams in the FBS not to allow more than 20 points in a game. In the SEC Championship Game, top-ranked LSU registered a 37-10 win over the Bulldogs as the Tigers came in ranked second nationally in Scoring Offense (48.7 ppg). In the CFP semifinal, Clemson beat #2 Ohio State 29-23. In the CFP National Championship Game, LSU beat Clemson 42-25.

Head Football Coach

hree straight SEC Eastern Division championships, 44 wins, one SEC title, three bowl victories, and an appearance in one national championship game are more than respectable rewards over a four-year period. That’s what Georgia got when it hired Alabama defensive coordinator and former Bulldog player and assistant coach Kirby Smart to head the program in December, 2015.

His impact, along with a stellar group of assistant coaches, players, and a passionate fan base has put Georgia on the national stage three years running.

Smart’s 2019 Bulldogs became the first team in Bulldogs history to win 11 or more games in three straight seasons. The senior class posted a fouryear record of 44-12—matching the school record of 44 wins for a senior class. Along the 2019 schedule, the ‘Dogs defeated three Top 15 teams in the final CFP ranking — Notre Dame, Florida, and Auburn — and finished as the fourth-ranked team in the final polls.

No. 3 Georgia 30, Vanderbilt 6

Aug. 31, 2019 • Vanderbilt Stadium • Nashville, Tenn.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The third-ranked Georgia Bulldogs opened their 2019 season with a 30-6 victory over Vanderbilt in front of 40,350 at Vanderbilt Stadium and a national audience on ESPN.

Junior quarterback Jake Fromm began his third season under center for the Bulldogs with a 15-of-23 passing performance for 156 yards and a touchdown. Junior tailback D’Andre Swift led the Bulldogs with 147 yards rushing, the fifth time he has eclipsed the century mark in his career.

The Georgia defense also turned in a stout effort, allowing 225 total yards of Vanderbilt offense and only five plays of over 10 yards. Junior defensive back Mark Webb and junior inside linebacker Monty Rice tied for the team lead with seven tackles.

The Bulldogs opened the contest with an impressive 8-play, 75-yard drive, asserting themselves with six rushes for 60 yards before Fromm found junior wide receiver Demetris Robertson in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. Georgia then turned toward the air with Fromm connecting again with Robertson on a 17-yard completion, finishing with sophomore running back James Cook scoring on an 18-yard rush to cap off a 10-play, 89-yard drive.

Fromm and the offense continued to roll on the ensuing possession, highlighted by a game-high 38-yard strike to Lawrence Cager and a 16-yard run from Swift. After a Commodore pass interference penalty in the end zone, the Bulldogs extended their lead to 21-0 on a 1-yard touchdown run by senior running back Brian Herrien, completing a 7-play, 80-yard drive.

The remainder of the scoring came from the kicking game with Vanderbilt kicker Ryley Guay connecting on two field goals late in the first half and senior Rodrigo Blankenship notched three in the second half. Junior defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt also grabbed a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter, leading to Georgia’s final field goal of the night.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“We’ve still got a long way to go...But, I’m proud of our guys. I don’t take it lightly when you go on the road in a SEC opener and you open up with a couple touchdowns. We had a lot of young guys on defense step up and play well…We wanted to come in here and play physical, establish a brand of football that we play. I thought we did that... We have a chance to be explosive offensively, and we’re going to try to be aggressive defensively...We’re going back to work Monday, and go out there and go good-on-good, and put the hammer down and find out who’s going to get better.”

2019 game summaries No. 3 Georgia 63, Murray State 17

Sept. 7, 2019 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 Review History

ATHENS - A 35-point second quarter helped the third-ranked Georgia Bulldogs defeat Murray State, 63-17, in front of 92,746 fans at the newlynamed Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on ESPN2.

Before kickoff, former head coach and athletic director Vince Dooley was joined by his family and captains from each of his 25 Georgia teams for the unveiling of Dooley Field.

The Bulldogs used an efficient 10-of-11 passing effort from junior quarterback Jake Fromm, as well as 269 rushing yards from seven different running backs to run past the Racers. Redshirt-freshman tailback Zamir White led all rushers with 72 total yards and scored the first touchdown of his career off a six-yard scamper in the second quarter. Fromm then directed a four-play, 56-yard drive, capped off by D’Andre Swift’s first touchdown of the season to open the game.

Murray State quickly answered as quarterback Preston Rice connected with wide receiver DaQuon Green for a 60-yard score to knot the game at 7-7 with 6:36 remaining in the first quarter, but the Bulldogs scored backto-back touchdowns early in the second, thanks to a Brian Herrien two-yard rush and a J.R. Reed fumble recovery that he took back for a 14-yard score.

With Georgia up 21-7, Swift added a 10-yard touchdown rush, followed by freshman wide receiver’s George Pickens’ first career score, a 15yard reception from Fromm. That set up White’s six-yard touchdown that put Georgia up 42-7.

On the Bulldogs’ first offensive possession of the second half, Racer defensive back Nigel Watson intercepted a Stetson Bennett pass and ran it back 35 yards to cut into Georgia’s lead. The home team quickly answered as Bennett connected with Demetris Robertson for a 15-yard strike — the quarterback’s first career touchdown pass. The Bulldogs led 49-17 at the end of three quarters and maintained their lead the rest of the game, adding a pair of touchdowns in the fourth.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“We’re always proud to get a win ... At the end of the day, a lot of work goes into a game, and I want the kids to be able to celebrate that. We just need to fix a few things. … We’ll work this week, like we always do, on fundamentals. We’ve got to tackle better. We had sloppy, sloppy tackling. Against good people, that will come back to haunt you. We’ll work on that.”

No. 3 Georgia 55, Arkansas State 0

Sept. 14, 2019 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

ATHENS - The third-ranked Georgia Bulldogs totaled nearly 700 yards of offense and held Arkansas State scoreless in a 55-0 win Saturday afternoon at a sold-out Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on ESPN2. The fans in attendance filled the stands with pink attire as they honored Wendy Anderson, the late wife of Arkansas State head coach Blake Anderson, who passed away from breast cancer on Aug. 19.

Georgia finished with 656 total yards, while the Bulldogs’ defense helped the team record its largest margin of victory under head coach Kirby Smart. Arkansas State finished with 220 total yards, including just 43 on the ground. Junior quarterback Jake Fromm completed 17-of-22 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns, while junior tailback D’Andre Swift led all rushers with 76 yards on the ground.

Swift did most of the heavy lifting on Georgia’s first offensive possession with two rushes for 17 yards. Brian Herrien capped off the six-play, 60-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown to put the Bulldogs up 7-0.

Following an Arkansas State three-and-out, Georgia’s drive stalled at the Red Wolves’ 12-yard line. Senior kicker Rodrigo Blankenship knocked in a field goal from 29 yards and followed with a 41-yarder to send the Bulldogs to the second quarter with a 13-0 advantage.

Georgia scored quick with 60-yard TD strike from Fromm to freshman Dominick Blaylock on the first play of the second quarter. Swift added a 48-yard TD dash and Lawrence Cager caught a five-yard TD score to give the Bulldogs a 34-0 halftime advantage.

Georgia’s defense held the Red Wolves to just 81 yards in the first half, including 11 total yards in the opening quarter.

It was much of the same in the final 30 minutes. The Bulldogs added a 37-yard touchdown from James Cook, a one-yard score from Zamir White and a 62-yard scamper from Kenny McIntosh to put the final score at 55-0.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“We played really hard and we were focused ... Our Saturday scrimmages leading up the season helped us toward that. We started fast and really played hard. … We did some good things. At the end of the day, it’s all about execution. You can’t have a lack of focus or discipline, and our kids did that ... I was happy with the way the defense played. We had good matchups outside and we challenged our guys to get their hands on them.

They made some plays. … With our bigger people up front, they struggled to move us (in the running game). They could not get us out of there. We controlled the line of scrimmage.”

Sept. 21, 2019 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 2019 Review Review History

ATHENS - No. 3 Georgia scored 16 straight points to start the second half and held off a late push from seventh-ranked Notre Dame in a 23-17 victory at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium. The game was played in front of a record crowd of 93,246 and a prime time national audience on CBS.

In the first quarter, Notre Dame was able to move the ball into Georgia territory, but a fumbled snap by quarterback Ian Book on 4th-and-2 stalled the Irish drive.

A muffed punt by Tyler Simmons set Notre Dame up at the Georgia 8-yard line, eventually leading to a 4th-and-goal at the one. The Bulldogs were able to press Book out of the pocket, but he found tight end Cole Kmet in the end zone for the first score of the night, giving the Irish a 7-0 lead.

The Bulldogs countered with an 8-play, 75-yard drive capped off by a 3-yard touchdown plunge by D’Andre Swift. Irish kicker Jonathan Doerer ended the half with a 27-yard field goal to put the halftime score at 10-7.

On the Irish’s first possession of the second half, Wilson intercepted a Book pass and set the Bulldogs up at the Notre Dame 22-yard line. Georgia’s drive came to a halt and Rodgrigo Blankenship knotted the score at 10-10 with a 40-yard field goal, before adding another - this time from 31 yards out - to give Georgia its first lead at 13-10.

Georgia’s surge continued into the fourth quarter as senior wide receiver Lawrence Cager capped off an 8-play, 82 yard drive with a 15-yard touchdown reception in the corner of the end zone. Following another Blankenship field goal, Book marched the Fighting Irish down the field on a 10-play, 75-yard drive, which ended with Chase Claypool’s 4-yard TD reception.

Notre Dame forced a 3-and-out and got the ball back with two minutes left. On a 4th-and-8 play, Book’s heave fell just short and the Bulldogs held on for the 23-17 win.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“That was a hard-fought game. I have a lot of respect for Notre Dame and their program and how they battled. But man, our kids played hard … That was a huge win for them. They play so hard and work so hard and play with toughness. I was happy to see them pull that out... They (the crowd) impacted those guys. They had 5-6-7 penalties and had to use their timeouts.

Our fans caused their quarterback to have some issues. … We need that out of our fans all the time. That is a real homefield advantage. You need that in college football”

No. 3 Georgia 43, Tennessee 14

Oct. 5, 2019 • Neyland Stadium • Knoxville, Tenn.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Third-ranked Georgia used 33 unanswered points, starting in the second quarter, to run away from Tennessee in a 43-14 victory in front of 92,709 fans at Neyland Stadium and a national audience on ESPN.

After Tennessee punted on its opening possession, Georgia took nearly seven minutes off the clock with a methodical drive that concluded with a 1-yard touchdown run from junior tailback D’Andre Swift. Tennessee then quickly responded with a 73-yard touchdown strike from freshman quarterback Brian Maurer to senior wide receiver Marquez Callaway.

On the next Georgia possession, the offensive momentum was slowed by the Volunteer defense, leading to a 50-yard field goal from senior place kicker Rodrigo Blankenship. Tennessee responded by efficiently moving down the field before Maurer found redshirt senior wide receiver Jauan Jennings for a 12-yard touchdown on the first play of the second quarter, giving the Volunteers a 14-10 lead. The Bulldogs then would again settle for a 34-yard Blankenship field goal.

Following three consecutive stalled drives from both teams, Georgia took advantage of great field position with a 6-play drive that concluded with a 3-yard touchdown pass from Fromm to Cager. Tennessee looked to answer, but came away empty when kicker Brent Cimaglia missed from 47 yards out.

With an extra possession to end the half, Georgia padded its lead with a 7-yard touchdown catch from freshman wide receiver George Pickens in the back of the end zone with nine seconds remaining.

In the third, Blankenship notched his third field goal of the night with a 27-yard try. On the next drive, the Volunteers reached midfield, but a deep throw from Maurer was intercepted by LeCounte at the Georgia 22-yard line. Later, Georgia steadily moved down the field on a game-sealing drive that ended with a 1-yard Herrien touchdown run. The Bulldogs added another score with senior linebacker Tae Crowder’s 60-yard fumble recovery touchdown, resulting from a Maurer fumble on a blind side sack by redshirt sophomore cornerback Eric Stokes. On Tennessee’s final drive, the Volunteers were set up with 1st-and-goal at the 5-yard line, but a Bulldog goal line stand preserved the second half shutout.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“We knew they would come ready to play. They had a week off and they have a good football team...They came out and played physical, and so did we…Our kids came back and played hard. They came out in the second half and played a lot harder...A lot of time people think it’s adjustments when it’s just guys doing what they’re supposed to do. They had us rattled with the big play early. We busted a coverage and got beat on it, and our kids got a little awe-struck...The defense came to play, and in the second half, they played a lot harder.”

2019 game summaries South Carolina 20, No. 3 Georgia 17 (2OT)

Oct. 12, 2019 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 2019 Review Review History

ATHENS - Georgia senior kicker Rodrigo Blankenship missed a 42yard field goal in the second overtime period to seal South Carolina’s 20-17 upset win in front of a sold-out crowd at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on ESPN.

Blankenship had started scoring with a 50-yard field goal to put the Bulldogs ahead 3-0 in the first quarter. South Carolina responded by stringing together a nine-play, 93-yard drive, capped with a 46-yard passing touchdown from Ryan Hilinski to Bryan Edwards to give the Gamecocks the 7-3 lead.

Georgia opened the second quarter by completing a nine-play, 75-yard drive capped by a one-yard rushing touchdown by junior tailback D’Andre Swift to put the Bulldogs back in front. The Gamecocks evened the score with three minutes left in the half on a 49-yard field goal by White. With a minute left in the half, Israel Mukuamu intercepted a Jake Fromm pass and returned it 53 yards to give the Gamecocks the 17-10 advantage. It was the first of three picks in the game for Mukuamu.

Fromm helped the Bulldogs finally draw even at 17 with 1:48 left, when he found Demetris Robertson in the back of the end zone from six yards out. The score capped Georgia’s 13-play drive that covered 96 yards and survived a failed fourth-down try that was negated by a holding penalty on Carolina. Following a missed Gamecocks field goal, Georgia’s drive stalled on the ensuing possession, and the two teams went to overtime.

In the extra period, Fromm threw an interception on Georgia’s second play. South Carolina kicker Parker White then missed a 33-yard field goal to send the game into a second overtime. From there, the Gamecocks ran seven plays to set up a short try for White. This time he converted from 24 yards to give his team a 20-17 lead. A 3-and-out on Georgia’s next possession set up Blankenship with his 42-yard attempt that went wide right and sealed the game for South Carolina.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“Any time you get ready to play a football game, you have to set your jaw and go play physical. We didn’t do that. They played physical and attacked us. We’ve got to go out and help our players, and that starts with me ... This is when you find out about yourself. You look in the mirror and say, ‘What can I do better?’ As coaches and leaders of the team, we’ve got to do what helps our guys ...We’ll learn from it. If you let it linger, South Carolina beats you twice. Everything we want to achieve is still in front of us. We’ll work to get better. We’ve got to look at ourselves and what situations we need to be in to be successful.”

No. 10 Georgia 21, Kentucky 0

Oct. 19, 2019 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

ATHENS - D’Andre Swift rushed for 179 yards and scored two of Georgia’s touchdowns as the Bulldogs overcame sloppy conditions to defeat Kentucky 21-0 in front of home crowd and a national audience on ESPN.

As a steady rain fell, both teams struggled to advance the ball on offense. Thirteen of the game’s first 14 possessions ended with a punt, the lone exception coming in the second quarter, when Georgia failed to convert a 4th-and-1 at midfield.

Kentucky’s Max Duffy - the nation’s top punter heading into the game shanked a 15-yarder that went out of bounds at the UK 39-yard line midway through the third quarter. It was the break in this tug-of-war for field position the Bulldogs needed.

On Georgia’s next play, Swift skirted off right tackle, eluded one Kentucky defender and ran 39 yards for the game’s first score. The Bulldogs proceeded to score on their next two possessions to put the game out of reach.

After Swift’s first score, Kentucky gained six yards in two plays before J.R. Reed forced a Lynn Bowden fumble that was recovered by safety Richard LeCounte. Five Georgia plays, a Swift run, followed by four straight Brian Herrien carries - netted a second touchdown on an 8-yard run with 2:47 left in the third period.

Aided by a 58-yard kickoff return, Kentucky reached as far as the Georgia 8-yard line on its next possession. The drive stalled, however, on three straight incompletions by Bowden.

Georgia promptly marched 92 yards in 13 plays, 12 of which were on the ground, for its final score, a 3-yard Swift run with 8:18 left in the game.

The lone pass, a 7-yarder from Jake Fromm to George Pickens, converted a 4th-and-4 at the UK 22-yard line.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“You have to be patient with those type of elements. You’re not just going to run the ball down their throats or throw it 30-40 times in those conditions. It was a field position game, and we needed to win field position. In the second half, we did that, along with running the ball...That’s how you win in those conditions. That’s important. We were talking to (James) Coley and the offensive staff on the headsets about being patient and keep running the ball. Trying to throw in those conditions, you can turn it over quickly.

It’s not easy throwing. Anybody would struggle in those conditions...Our guys worked their tails off and were in great spirits. They are grinding and preparing. Our best football is ahead.”

D’Andre Swift reaches for the final three of his 179 yards rushing vs. Kentucky, a touchdown with 6:24 left in the game.

Nov. 2, 2019 • TIAA Bank Field • Jacksonville, Fla.

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 2019 Review Review History

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - In a matchup of two top-10 teams, eighthranked Georgia defeated the No. 6 Florida Gators, 24-17, in front of a crowd of 84,789 at TIAA Bank Field and a CBS national television audience.

The Bulldogs gained possession after stopping Florida on a 4th-and-1 on its first drive. Georgia drove down the field and converted 4–of-5 third downs to set up a 31-yard field goal by Rodrigo Blankenship. Up 3-0, Azeez Ojulari sacked Kyle Trask to set up a 3rd-and-25. The Gators were unable to convert and Georgia took the ball back deep in its own territory.

A pass interference penalty on the Gators set Georgia up 1st-and-10 at the Florida 26. The Bulldogs once again were impressive on 3rd downs, converting 3-for-3 on the drive, including a 3-yard TD pass from Fromm to Dominick Blaylock. Down 10-0, the Gators drove 54 yards in six plays, capped off by an Evan McPherson 38-yard field goal to cut into Georgia’s early advantage. Following a season-high 27-yard kickoff return from Brian Herrien, Blankenship added another score — this time from 37 yards out to give Georgia a 13-3 halftime lead.

Georgia put together an efficient drive to open the half, highlighted by an acrobatic 18-yard reception by Herrien. Blankenship knocked in his third field goal of the day to give the Bulldogs a 16-3 lead with just under 10 minutes to go in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Florida took just three plays to score with a 23-yard TD pass from Trask to Van Jefferson. On the ensuing Bulldog possession, Fromm hit a wide open Cager on a 52-yard touchdown strike to give the Bulldogs the answer and the 22-10 lead. Cager was not finished as he caught a pass from Fromm to convert a two-point conversion to give his team a 24-10 advantage.

Florida answered with a 17-play, 75-yard drive capped off by a Freddie Swain score to cut Georgia’s lead to 24-17. The Gators’ offense would not the ball the rest of the way as the Bulldogs hung on for the win.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“That was a hard-earned win against a good football team. Credit goes to these kids who played hard and played with grit. So many people doubted and they never did. I am just happy for these guys in that locker room...

We played really well on third down on both sides of the ball. When I was on the set of SEC Nation this morning, I told them that would be a key today. We executed well on both sides of the ball and that was a difference maker today...I am proud of Jake Fromm, those receivers, and our entire offense. Those guys at receiver have a chip on their shoulder and did a good job today.”

The second quarter began with a 20-yard field goal by Blankenship, adding to Georgia’s lead, 10-0. The field goal, Blankenship’s 16th of the season, punctuated a 13-play, 67-yard drive that lasted five minutes, 51 seconds. Junior defensive back Richard LeCounte intercepted a pass from Taylor Powell and returned it 71 yards to the Missouri 18-yard line around the eight-minute mark, his second interception of the season.

Following a rush for a loss, Blankenship came on and split the uprights on a 48-yard attempt, widening the lead to 13-0 with 6:06 left in the half.

The field goal was Blankenship’s fourth from 40 or longer this season and 19th of his career.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“I have a lot of respect for our offense. That (Missouri) defense is really good; they’re big and physical…We made more plays than they did. Our quarterback made some throws. They didn’t make explosive throws and we did... Our defense takes a lot of pride. I’m happy with our coaching staff and they deserve a lot of credit. The kids have bought in, too, thinking, ‘You’re not running it in.’ They made some big stops on second, third, and fourth down (on the final drive). … That’s hard to do in this day and age of college football. And we don’t leave our starters in. We rotate players. If they score, they score. We take a lot of pride in our defense.”

• This was the third shutout of the year for the Georgia defense, which marks the first time since 1981 that Georgia has done that. The Bulldogs held Missouri scoreless in the first half and went into the locker room with a 16-0 edge. This marked the 21st scoreless quarter Georgia has held its opponents to this year and the eighth scoreless half (third scoreless first half) that the Bulldog defense has held its opponents to in 2019. Georgia remains the only FBS team in the nation not to surrender a rushing touchdown.

• Graduate PK Rodrigo Blankenship connected on two PATs and then kicked four field goals (20, 48, 47 and 29-yards) to tie his career high (2016 at Kentucky, 2017 vs. Missouri). He has now connected on a school record 187 consecutive PATs and is No. 2 in the SEC all-time record books by 11 kicks.

Blankenship has 403 points in his career, which ranks fourth in school history and fifth in SEC history. He is 20-for-28 from 40-49 yards in his career and 5-for-7 from that distance in 2019.

• Georgia now has won six in a row over Missouri and leads the all-time series 8-1. This was the third shutout in the series (1960 Orange Bowl 14-0; 34-0 in 2014 in Columbia).

• Jake Fromm started his 37th straight to lead the offense while graduate S J.R. Reed now leads the defense with 38 in a row. After missing five games with a foot injury, sophomore DB Tyson Campbell returned to action on special teams and on defense.

Richard LeCounte snagged his second interception of the season in the second quarter, returning it 71 yards to set up a Georgia field goal.

Nov. 16, 2019 • Jordan-Hare Stadium • Auburn, Ala.

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 2019 Review Review History

AUBURN, Ala. - Fourth-ranked Georgia held off a late Auburn rally and clinched its third straight SEC Eastern Division championship with a 21-14 victory over the No. 11 Tigers in front of 87,451 fans at Jordan-Hare Stadium and a national television audience on CBS.

On their opening possession, the Tigers quickly moved into Bulldog territory with a pair of first downs, but came away empty as Anders Carlson missed wide right from 47 yards out. Midway through the quarter, Fromm’s 51-yard touchdown strike to freshman wide receiver Dominick Blaylock, capped off a 3-play, 61-yard drive and put the Bulldogs on the board first.

After a series of punts, Auburn’s 4th-down conversion attempt was stopped at the Bulldog 37-yard line as the Georgia defense perfectly read the wildcat formation. The Bulldog defense continued to assert itself later in the quarter as junior linebacker Jermaine Johnson forced a Bo Nix fumble that was recovered by junior safety Richard LeCounte at the Georgia 44yard line, his second recovery of the season.

Although the Bulldogs were unsuccessful on the ensuing drive, they would close out the first half with a one-minute scoring drill, powered by Swift’s 26-yard rush to the Auburn 14-yard line. Three plays later, senior tailback Brian Herrien scored on a 5-yard screen pass from Fromm, concluding a 7-play, 81-yard drive that gave the Bulldogs a 14-0 lead entering the locker room.

In the third quarter, Georgia embarked on its longest drive of the afternoon, a 12-play, 88-yard sequence that effectively closed the quarter. After a touchdown pass to redshirt freshman wide receiver Kearis Jackson was overturned on review, Fromm found tight end Eli Wolf for a 5-yard touchdown to make the score, 21-0. Auburn would score twice in the fourth quarter to narrow the margin, but their final drive was snuffed when freshman tackle Travon Walker sacked Nix on 4th-and-10.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“Good teams never quit, and we’ve got to do a good job of putting people away when we have an opportunity to. We have a lot of respect for Gus and this program, their staff. A lot of friends on their staff. Their kids played really hard...Our kids were very resilient to come into this place, lose momentum, obviously lose momentum, and be able to go back out and get it shows some fortitude and the ability to handle adversity. I’m really proud of our guys... We’re not where we need to be, but I give Auburn a lot of credit for that as well.”

• With the 21-14 victory, Georgia clinched its third consecutive SEC Eastern Division title in this Kirby Smart’s fourth year as a head coach. They are the first Eastern Division team to win three straight since Florida won five in a row from 1992-96. The Bulldogs will make their eighth appearance in the SEC Championship Game where they are 3-4, winning titles in 2002, 2005 and 2017.

• Georgia became the first team to defeat Auburn under Gus Malzahn following a bye week as the Tigers were 9-0 coming off a bye week, including 8-0 against SEC foes and 5-0 against ranked opponents under Malzahn after a bye.

The Tigers were the fifth team this year that Georgia faced that was coming off a bye week including the fourth SEC opponent. In the overall series, Georgia now leads 60-56-8, including winning 14 of the past 19 meetings. Georgia is 17-12-2 on the Plains in this the Deep South’s oldest rivalry.

• Georgia’s leading tackler was junior Monty Rice with 10 stops, and he leads the team this year now with 66. It was his third career game with 10+ stops. Coming in, Georgia and Auburn were two of the six FBS teams that have not allowed more than 24 points in a game this year and that streak continued.

• Sophomore Jake Camarda had an eventful day, punting 11 times for a 50.7 average including six for 50+ yards and four inside the 20. His 11 punts tied for the third-most in a game in school history and most since Bucky Dilts had 11 versus Ole Miss in 1976.

No. 4 Georgia 19, No. 24 Texas A&M 13

Nov. 23, 2019 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

ATHENS - Fourth-ranked Georgia defeated No. 24 Texas A&M, 1913, before 92,746 fans and a CBS television audience.

Senior Rodrigo Blankenship etched his name as Georgia’s career points leader Saturday, concluding the game with four field goals. He also extended his school-record streak of PATs made to 190. Defensively, Georgia held the Aggies to -1 rushing yards and 274 total yards on 62 plays.

Blankenship put the Bulldogs on the board with 8:22 left in the opening quarter, connecting on a 41-yard field goal. The Aggies knotted the contest on a 37-yard field goal from Seth Small just a minute and 31 seconds into the second quarter. The following drive resulted in a 49-yard field goal from Blankenship with 11:38 left in the half, giving the Bulldogs the three-point advantage back, 6-3.

Fromm then connected with George Pickens on a 16-yard touchdown pass, lengthening Georgia’s lead to 13-3 with 6:44 remaining in the opening half, with that margin holding until halftime. The scoring drive spanned seven plays over 65 yards highlighted by pass completions to Tyler Simmons (27 yards) and Kearis Jackson (22).

Richard LeCounte forced a turnover on the Aggies’ opening drive of the second half, giving Georgia the ball on the Texas A&M 21-yard line.

Georgia’s resulting drive ended on a 37-yard field goal by Blankenship, who set the school’s all-time scoring record on the kick and stretched the Bulldogs’ lead to 16-3.

The two teams traded field goals before A&M put together its best drive of the game early in the fourth quarter. Kellen Mond drove the Aggies 75 yards in 10 plays, converting a pair of long third downs along the way. Mond capped the drive with a 19-yard pass to Jhamon Ausbon for a score that closed the gap to its final score.

After an exchange of mid-quarter punts, Georgia began its last possession on its own 10-yard line with 4:26 left. The Bulldogs converted two big third-down plays and were able to expire the clock, advancing the ball to midfield, thanks largely to the running of D’Andre Swift and Brian Herrien.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“We make things so complicated. If we had cashed in on a touchdown, the game’s over. We just couldn’t put them away. Give them credit, they had us on our heels. It was like Auburn when we were tired. We’ve got to clean things up offensively. We need to run the ball and score some points...(Rodrigo’s) incredible. What a great kid, what a great story. He’s given so much to our university. He’s methodical in what he does and he’s so trustworthy...

The fans were tremendous, especially in the second half. The atmosphere was awesome. The noise affected their communications and was a factor in their delay of games.”

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 2019 Review Review History

ATLANTA - The fourth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs defeated rival Georgia Tech, 52-7, in front of 55,000 fans and an ABC television audience.

After being forced to punt on its first drive, Georgia then scored on three consecutive drives in the first quarter. Rodrigo Blankenship put the Bulldogs on the board with a 49-yard field goal, his eighth this season from over 40 yards. The next scoring drive was capped by a two-yard rushing touchdown from Brian Herrien, followed by a 25-yard scoring pass from Jake Fromm to Tyler Simmons. On the ensuing drive, Charlie Woerner caught his first career touchdown with a 20-yard reception.

Georgia Tech was able to capitalize on a fumbled punt return with its lone score of the game, a 6-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Davis early in the second quarter. The fumble by returner Dominick Blaylock was the first turnover committed by the Bulldogs since their loss to South Carolina on Oct. 12. After another Georgia fumble, Georgia Tech could not add more points, missing a 42-yard field goal to end the half.

Following a Georgia Tech punt that allowed Georgia to begin its drive on the Yellow Jacket 41-yard line, Fromm immediately connected with George Pickens on a 41-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. The lead was widened on a Fromm touchdown pass to Blaylock, tying the quarterback’s career high set last season against Georgia Tech.

Reserves enjoyed the spotlight during fourth-quarter play. Stetson Bennett took over at quarterback and directed a scoring drive that consumed 6:40 off the clock. Freshman Kenny McIntosh scored from two yards out with 11:19 left to boost the Georgia lead to 45-7. Later, a Georgia Tech fumble in the end zone was picked up by sophomore Tyson Campbell with three minutes left in the game, finalizing Georgia’s lead at 52-7.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“I’m proud of our seniors. The senior class that’s going out of here, somebody told me, may be tied for the second-most wins of any senior class to ever leave Georgia... They continued to play really well. I mean, I thought our defensive guys played super hard. They’ve got an unbelievable challenge in front of us this week. It’ll be a whole lot different than the team we just played, I can promise you that. They have passion, energy, juice. They love just playing football. They love to get in those situations, and I think they were 3-of-17 or something. Our guys really enjoy that.”

• The Bulldog defense has posted 31 scoreless quarters this season. Georgia, along with Clemson, is one of two FBS teams not to allow an opponent more than 20 points in a game this year. Also, Georgia has surrendered just one rushing TD all year (to Auburn on Nov. 16).

• Georgia finished the regular season 11-1 for the third straight year and fifth time since 2002. This year’s squad is the 12th in school history to tally at least 11 wins in a season. Georgia extends its advantage in the Tech series to 68-39-5 and retains the Governor’s Cup Trophy. The victory was Georgia’s 10th straight over Tech in Atlanta.

• The 52 points and the 45-point margin of victory were the largest in the series that began back in 1893. This year’s senior class improved to 43-11, which is tied for the second most wins in school history (1983 squad went 434-1). The 2005 class has the most wins with a 44-9 mark.

• Georgia got a touchdown when Tech fumbled a punt in the end zone (recovered by Tyson Campbell) while Tech scored seven points off three Bulldog miscues.

No. 2 LSU 37, No. 4 Georgia 10

Dec. 7, 2019 • Mercedes-Benz Stadium • Atlanta, Ga.

ATLANTA - Fourth-ranked Georgia fell 37-10 to the second-ranked LSU Tigers in the SEC Championship Game before 74,150 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and a CBS television audience.

On the opening drive, Georgia neared midfield thanks to an LSU facemask penalty on third down, but a pair of drops stalled the drive. The Tigers moved efficiently, striking first with a 23-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow to Ja’Marr Chase. After both teams punted, Georgia crossed midfield when Fromm found Dominick Blaylock for an 11-yard reception on third down, but the Bulldogs came away empty as Rodrigo Blankenship missed from 52 yards out. LSU took advantage of the miss, with Burrow hitting Terrace Marshall, Jr. for a 7-yard touchdown five plays later.

In the second quarter, the Bulldogs opened with their most successful drive of the game, as Jake Fromm moved toward the red zone with a pair of long completions, but they would have to settle for a 39-yard field goal from Blankenship. After LSU’s first 3-and-out of the day, Georgia looked to steal momentum, but Fromm was sacked on a safety blitz. LSU continued to bolster its lead with a 41-yard field goal by Cade York.

Late in the second period, Fromm led the Bulldogs to the LSU 40-yard line with two completions, but his ensuing pass was intercepted by Derek Stingley, Jr. at the 13-yard line. LSU began the second half with a lengthy scoring drive, culminating in a 28-yard field goal. Georgia then embarked on a long drive of its own, but the drive proved fruitless with a missed 37yard field goal by Blankenship.

Following the missed kick, LSU sealed the game with a pair of quick scores to Marshall and Justin Jefferson. In the fourth quarter, both teams added to their final tallies, with Fromm finding George Pickens on a 2-yard pass for Georgia’s lone touchdown of the game, while York notched his third field goal, a 50-yard kick.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“Unfortunately, we just couldn’t make enough plays tonight. I give LSU a ton of credit. That is a really good football team, and we knew that coming in...I am very proud of the way our players compete, and I am very proud of the leaders on this team who have continued to compete...That’s not what we thought was going to happen, and certainly disappointing, but it doesn’t take away from the face that we’ve been here three straight years. I’m really proud of this senior class, who led us to a lot of victories.”

NEW ORLEANS - Fifth-ranked Georgia closed the 2019 season with a 26-14 victory over the seventh-ranked Baylor Bears in the 86th Allstate Sugar Bowl before 55,211 fans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and an ESPN primetime television audience.

After a pair of Georgia punts to begin the game, Richard LeCounte grabbed a deflected Baylor pass at the Georgia 18-yard line with one hand for his first interception of the game. Later in the quarter, a 40-yard flea flicker from Jake Fromm to George Pickens led to the game’s first points, as senior place kicker Rodrigo Blankenship connected from 24 yards out.

Fromm then efficiently moved the offense on an 8-play, 85-yard scoring drive, capped by a 27-yard TD strike to Pickens at the 12:28 mark of the second quarter. After a Bears punt, the Bulldogs scored again, capitalizing with a 31-yard Blankenship field goal, the final of his illustrious career. Nearing halftime, Fromm tacked on another score when he found wide receiver Matt Landers for his first career touchdown on a 16-yard pass.

In the third quarter, Baylor came out energized as wide receiver Denzel Mims helped put the Bears on the scoreboard with a 12-yard touchdown catch.

The Bears’ next drive, however, was thwarted when linebacker Azeez Ojulari forced a fumble that was recovered by freshman defensive lineman Travon Walker at the Baylor 47-yard line.

Georgia took advantage of the good field position by scoring its final touchdown of the game. Highlight of the seven-play drive was holder Jake Camarda’s run for a first down on the Bulldogs’ first fake field goal try of the season. On the next play, Zamir White found the front right pylon for a 13-yard touchdown.

On the following drive, Baylor again scored with a 1-yard Charlie Brewer touchdown run. With the clock running down, an injury to Brewer forced the Bears to enter freshman backup Jacob Zeno, but he was unable to convert on 4th-and-11 with five minutes remaining. On Baylor’s final possession, LeCounte notched his second interception, allowing Georgia to expire the clock.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“I thought that was the biggest difference in our offense tonight, having a semblance of the running game, committed to the run, and being able to get those positive yards. I thought Jake did a tremendous job making good decisions on the RPOs on the perimeter...The defense played really inspiring football. They played really hard. They got turnovers. They gave the offense some short fields, which we thought would be critical, whether it was a fourth‑down stop or a turnover.”

Although the University of Georgia is now known as the home of Uga, the pure white English bulldog, several mascots led the Red and Black before Frank W. Seiler provided the current lineage beginning in 1956.

The Goat -- Feb. 22, 1892

Georgia’s mascot for its first football game against Auburn, Feb­ruary 22, 1892 in Atlanta, Ga., was a goat. Old newspaper clippings indicate that the goat wore a black coat with red U.G. letters on each side. He also had on a hat with ribbons all down his high horns, and the Auburn fans yelled throughout the game “shoot the billy-goat.”

Ga. He was spotted by students who were attending the 1946 GeorgiaGeorgia Tech game in Athens, and the canine appeared to be suited for the mascot position. Smith agreed to loan Butch to the University during the football season along with a female puppy named Tuffy. The female died of a heart attack following the Georgia-Kentucky game in 1948, but Butch continued to serve. Spending the off-season at Smith’s home in Warner Robins, Butch was tragically shot in the summer of 1951 by a policeman after the dog escaped from his pen and was found roaming the streets. Butch is buried behind Smith’s business along Watson Boulevard.

In 2004 plans for a marker honoring Butch in his hometown were put into motion by longtime Warner Robins resident Guy Fussell.

The current Uga line of solid white English bulldogs began with Uga I, Hood’s Ole Dan, born Dec. 2, 1955, in Columbus. Uga I was given to Cecelia Seiler by a friend, Frank Heard of Columbus and appeared in his first game in the 1956 home opener. As recalled by Sonny Seiler, “...his original red jerseys were made

by Cecelia. It was necessary to take Uga I up children’s t-shirts to fit the dog in the right places. There is no telling how many of these jersey’s he wore out.

During the early games in Athens, especially the hot ones before he had a dog house, the large green hedges that surround Sanford Stadium afford welcomed shade in the heat of battle. Unfortunately, the hedges constantly tore these jerseys and new ones had to be made.” epitaph: Damn Good Dog

Uga V, 1990-99 “UGA IV’s Magillicuddy II” Record: 65-39-1 In the first game of 1990, Uga V officially began his reign as the Georgia mascot, taking over from his father Uga IV, who passed away at his home in Savannah on Feb. 26, 1990. Uga V was the last pup sired by Uga IV and was born on March 6, 1990.

Named in honor of one of the greatest Bulldogs, Dan Magill, former Assistant Athletic Director for Public Relations and longtime tennis coach and sports information director. Surprisingly, the Seiler family became aware that Uga IV’s mate was expecting only 10 days before the litter was due. This notice came a week after Uga IV had passed away at his home in Savannah from kidney failure. There were only three pups in the litter and the last one born on March 6 was the only solid white male.

Uga V had been perhaps the most well known of all the Bulldog mascots, highlighted by his appearance on the cover of the April 28, 1997, Sports Illustrated which declared him the nation’s best college mascot. Rocketed to stardom, he also appeared in Clint Eastwood’s “Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil” — filmed in his hometown of Savannah, Ga. He died on Nov. 22, 1999, just over two months after his retirement.

The fall of 2008 would have been his 10th season after Uga VI reigned over more games than any other mascot with 114. He died on June 27, 2008. In his last game, the Bulldogs defeated Hawai’i 41-10 in the 2008 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

The pregame passing of the bone ceremony from Uga V to his heftier and friskier son, Whatchagot Loran, took place at the 1999 Georgia-South Carolina contest.

Only a year old at his coronation, Uga VI stood as the biggest of all the Uga mascots weighing in at 65 pounds — 20 pounds heavier than his father.

His first season climaxed in a magnificent come from behind victory over Purdue at the Outback Bowl in Tampa. The 2000 season ended in Hawaii, but due to the distance and a quarantine rule, Uga VI missed the O’ahu Bowl, marking the first time the Georgia mascot had missed the postseason game since the 1969 Sun Bowl.

Alongside first-year head coach Mark Richt, Uga VI saw his third consecutive 8-4 season, which included a 26-24 win at then-No. 6 Tennessee for the Bulldogs’ first win in Knoxville since 1980.

Uga VI and Georgia experienced their best run in two decades during the 200205 seasons. That stretch included 44 wins, a pair of SEC titles and appearances in the Sugar, Capital One and Outback Bowls.

In 2007, Uga VI passed Uga IV (77-24-4) for the most wins of any bulldog in school history.

Instead, a wreath was placed on UGA VII’s doghouse, and the players wore a special UGA VII decal on their helmets to remember him. “Russ,” the five-year-old half brother of Uga VII, served as the Bulldog mascot for the Georgia Tech game in Atlanta and helped his squad to a 30-24 win.

UGA traditions The Arch

2020 Info Players Coaches 2019 Review History History

Serving as the official symbol of the University of Georgia, the Arch was built in the 1850s and originally served as part of a larger iron fence securing the campus.

Daniel Redfearn (BL 1909, BS 1910) is credited with making the Arch the sacred symbol of UGA. Recognized as one of the school’s finest icons, students today hold the Arch in high regard as its three pillars represent the virtues of wisdom, justice, and moderation.

‘‘Glory, Glory’’

The Arch

The “G”

In 1963 after becoming the Bulldogs’ Head Football Coach, Vince Dooley redesigned the football uniform, choosing a red helmet with a black “G” on a white background as the dominant feature of the new uniform for the 1964 season.

He discussed with his staff that a forward-looking “G” would be an appropriate emblem for the helmet of the Georgia team. Dooley had just hired John Donaldson, former Georgia player from 1945 to 1948, as backfield coach. Donaldson was keen on the idea of a new image and volunteered his wife, Anne, who had a BFA in commercial art from UGA, to design a logo for the new Georgia helmet with the general specifications Dooley had outlined. Dooley accepted Anne’s original “G” which fit his vision for a forward look to Georgia’s new emblem.

Since the Georgia “G”, though different in design and color, was similar to Green Bay’s “G”, Coach Dooley thought it best to clear the use of Georgia’s new emblem with the NFL team. Athletic Director Joel Eaves called for permission, which was granted. However, since its inception in 1961, the Green Bay “G” has been redesigned several times and now looks like Georgia’s original 1964 “G.” Georgia is proud that the Packers apparently liked the special nuances of the Bulldogs’ forward-looking “G”.

Georgia’s oval “G”, eventually replacing Georgia’s old block “G” as the official UGA symbol, has stood the test of time. It made its first appearance in the opening game in 1964 and was an immediate hit with the Georgia fans, especially after Dooley’s first three teams were so successful—highlighted by the 1966 SEC Championship.

The Chapel Bell

The ringing of the chapel bell after a Georgia victory is a tradition that continues even though freshmen are no longer ordered to do the chore. In the 1890’s, the playing field was located ­only yards from the Chapel and first-year students were compelled to ring the bell until midnight in celebration of a Bull­dog victory. Today students, alumni, and townspeople still rush to the Chapel to ring the bell after a gridiron victory.

This is a slogan of recent vintage, but one that has become a battle cry of Bull­dog fans probably because of its obvious grammatical slur. It first surfaced during the mid to late 1970’s especially during the 1978 season when the Bull­ dogs posted several remarkable, come-from-behind victories.

It gained national attention and exposure when Georgia won the national champion­ship in 1980. A major wire service used the phrase in its story of Georgia’s victory over Notre Dame and many newspapers picked it up in glaring headlines across the country proclaiming ‘‘How ‘Bout Them Dogs!’’

‘‘Bulldogs’’

‘‘Silver Britches’’

Silver Britches were an innovation of Coach Wally Butts, who took over as head coach in 1939. The handsome pants complemented the bright red jersey and made for a striking uniform. Through the years, fans referred to the Bulldogs’ silver britches in their chants and on banners, but the phrase really caught on in the early fifties with a cheer, banners, and colorful vests that proclaimed ‘‘Go, You Silver Britches.’’ Coach Vince Dooley re-designed the uniform when he came in 1964 and used white pants; however, he re-instituted the silver britches in 1980 just prior to what turned out to be Georgia’s national championship season.

Among the University’s oldest and most lasting traditions is the school fight song, ‘‘Glory, Glory,’’ which is sung to the tune of ‘‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic.’’ It was sung at games as early as the 1890’s, but arranged in its present form

by Georgia’s immortal musician-composer Hugh Hodgson in 1915. There have been many Bulldog songs through the years and at least two collections dating back to 1909 have been published, but none have enjoyed more acceptance than ‘‘Glory, Glory.’’

“Silver Britches”

Many oldtimers say Georgia acquired the nickname, “Bulldogs,” because of the strong ties with Yale, whose nickname is “Bulldogs.” Georgia’s first president, Abraham Baldwin, was a Yale man and the early buildings on campus were designed from blueprints of the same buildings at Yale.

However, the first references to the nickname “Bulldogs” actually came in the 1910’s (1911-20) by Atlanta newspaper writers covering both football and baseball games. Although used occasionally during the previous decade, the nickname began to be consistently used around 1920.

On Nov. 3, 1920, Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote about school nicknames and said "The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity." After a 0-0 tie with Virginia in Charlottesville on Nov. 6, 1920, Atlanta Constitution writer Cliff Wheatley used the name "Bulldogs" in his story five times. Gene Hinton also used the term “Bulldogs.”

The nickname seemed to be off and running.

‘‘Between The Hedges’’

A reference to Sanford Stadium that dates to the early 1930’s. The famous Chinese privet hedges that surround San­ford’s playing field were only one foot high when the stadium was dedi­cated in 1929 and were protected by a wooden fence. It was natural for a clever sports writer, referring to an upcoming home game, to observe ‘‘that the Bulldogs will have their opponent ‘between the hedges.’’ At least one old-timer says the phrase was first coined by the legendary Atlanta sportswriter Grantland Rice.

‘‘Lone Trumpeter’’

Seven minutes before kickoff in Sanford Stadium, the Bulldog Nation directs its attention to a lone trumpeter standing in the upper deck of the southwest corner of the stadium.

The soloist is recognized and begins to play the first 14 notes of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." The Battle Hymn solo was originally composed in 1987 as a student project by Jeff Simmons and became a part of the pre-game traditions in 2000. Each year, 25-30 members of the Redcoat Band audition for one of the 4-5 soloist positions.
