2021 Georgia spring Football Media Guide

2021 outlook pring football practice annually brings a renewed focus and excitement to the sport, but perhaps even more so in 2021. The coronavirus pandemic shut down the 2020 spring drills and led to a truncated season of just 10 games for the Georgia Bulldogs. Coach Kirby Smart opens his sixth season in Athens having successfully navigated his 2020 team to an 8-2 mark, capped by a come-from-behind victory over 8th-ranked Cincinnati in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Georgia will begin spring drills with its top eight receivers, its top seven rushers, and its top two passers and tacklers back from a year ago. By the time G-Day rolls around in mid-April, Smart and his staff hope to have a sense of the makeup of the 2021 Bulldogs. “We are really focused on what’s between our ears right now — not what our bench press is or what position we are going to play,” Smart said. “Those things will play out. Our focus has been more about how we get the best out of each person. Our objective never changes when it comes to spring practice. Having spring practice last year or not doesn’t control what we do this year. The objective is to get each and every player better. “Every team has its own DNA, right? You’re not going to have the same exact team as you did the year before. The personalities are different; the makeup of what is between the ears of your players, that dynamic changes. I think defining that every year is really critical. Know who you are, know your strengths and weaknesses, and be intentional about that with your players.”

Kearis Jackson led all Bulldog pass catchers last season with 36 receptions for 514 yards and three touchdowns. He was also the Dogs’ top returner of both kickoffs and punts, leading the SEC in the latter category.

QUARTERBACKS

The Bulldogs enter the spring boasting two quarterbacks with starting experience and a bevy of talented understudies. JT Daniels engineered Georgia’s final four games, including the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl victory, finishing with 1,231 passing yards and 10 touchdowns. In his Georgia debut, Daniels passed for 401 yards and four scores against Mississippi State. Stetson Bennett started half of the Bulldogs’ contests, passing for 1,179 yards and eight TDs. Carson Beck redshirted a year ago and will look to make additional progress in his first spring practice. Early enrollee and local hero Brock Vandagriff threw for more than 4,000 yards and 46 touchdowns for Prince Avenue Christian, which won the 2020 state championship. The Bulldogs also return Jackson Muschamp, Nathan Priestley, and Austin Kirksey this spring.

running backs

Georgia is blessed with a stable of running backs who combined for more than 1,700 yards and 16 touchdowns a year ago. Zamir White paced the Bulldogs in 2020 with 779 yards and 11 touchdowns as he started every contest. James Cook contributed 303 yards rushing and three scores and was Georgia’s fourth-leading receiver with 225 yards and two touchdowns. Kenny McIntosh rushed for 251 yards and a touchdown, Daijun Edwards pitched in 218 yards and a score, and Kendall Milton had 193 yards. Lovasea Carroll will throw his hat in the ring as an early enrollee after posting 2,500 yards and 40 TDs during his prep career. The Bulldogs also will take a look at Sevaughn Clark, Garrett Jones, and Kurt Knisely this spring.

tight ends

Georgia remains strong at the tight end position with the return of veterans John FitzPatrick and Darnell Washington. They combined for 12 starts, 17 catches for 261 yards and a touchdown in 2020. FitzPatrick and Washington also ended the 2020 season with career-best days, the former with four catches, the latter three. Georgia also welcomes back Ryland Goede, who went through a redshirt campaign last season, and Brett Seither, Chase Harof, and Michael Hagerty. Early enrollee Brock Bowers arrived for Spring semester from his native California, where he was a multi-purpose high school player.

wide receivers

The Bulldogs in 2021 welcome back their top five rushers, who combined for over 1,700 yards last season. Zamir White led this group with 779 yards and 11 TDs as a redshirt sophomore.

The Bulldogs have both depth and experience at wide receiver this spring. Kearis Jackson and George Pickens had mirror-image stats last year as each had 36 catches with Jackson going for 514 yards and Pickens for 513. They also combined for nine TDs. Jermaine Burton emerged as a weapon, hauling in 27 passes for 404 yards and three scores. Demetris Robertson will return as sixth-year veteran, while Arian Smith showed elite speed in his limited snaps (including a touchdown on his first career catch) and Justin Robinson went through a redshirt season. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint and Dominick Blaylock will continue to work their way back from injuries. The Bulldogs also return Jaylen Johnson, Brady Tindall, George Vining, Kaustov Chakrabarti, and Ladd McConkey. Adonai Mitchell is an early enrollee from Texas hoping to make an impression and the Bulldogs additionally have Braxton Hicks, early enrollee Jackson Meeks, and Mercer transfer Steven Peterson.

2021 outlook ing group of outside linebackers. Nolan Smith had 22 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and 20 pressures last season. Adam Anderson pitched in 6.5 sacks among his 14 tackles and he added 24 pressures, two caused fumbles, and a fumble recovery. The Bulldogs also return Robert Beal Jr., MJ Sherman (will miss spring after off-season shoulder surgery), and Matthew Brown. Chaz Chambliss, Smael Mondon, and Xavian Sorey are early enrollees who hope to make an immediate impact for Georgia.

inside linebackers

Nakobe Dean, the Bulldogs’ top returning tackler with 71 stops, underwent off-season shoulder surgery. He will miss spring practice but is expected to return to anchor the inside linebackers position. Off-season shoulder surgery Quay Walker contributed 43 tackles last year, while Georgia got 15 from Channing Tindall. The Bulldogs also return Rian Davis and Trezmen Marshall, and they are welcoming transfer John Staton IV, who had more than 100 tackles as an All-Southern Conference player last year for Samford.

defensive backs

Graduation and early departures in the backfield have claimed a number of key players from 2020. Still, the sheer numbers alone make it a position of great potential. Lewis Cine started all 10 games last year and ranked second among all Bulldogs with 52 tackles. Christopher Smith emerged as a late-season starter and racked up 26 tackles. Pressed into a starting role for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl game, veteran Latavious Brini responded with five tackles (two for loss) and a pass breakup. Additional candidates include veterans Ameer Speed and William Poole, as well as Major Burns, Jalen Kimber and Daran Branch. The latter trio will be going through their first spring practice. Kelee Ringo, highly regarded as a prospect a year ago, is coming off an injury and a redshirt season, and Javon Bullard, David Daniel, and Nyland Green are early enrollees who will get a look. Georgia also returns Jehlen Cannady, Patrick Taylor, and Dan Jackson.

(L-R) ILB Quay Walker, DB Lewis Cine and DL Devonte Wyatt return as three of Georgia’s most productive playmakers on defense in 2021.

offensive linemen

Even with three starters returning, the Bulldogs may be reshuffling this spring on the offensive line. Jamaree Salyer and Warren McClendon were bookends at tackle and Justin Shaffer manned one of the guard slots last season. Salyer did move inside to guard for the bowl game, with Xavier Truss getting the nod at tackle. Warren Ericson gave the Bulldogs key plays at both center and guard, starting twice. Owen Condon and Sedrick Van Pran each appeared in four games, including a start at tackle for Condon in the season opener. After a year in the system and a taste of game action, Broderick Jones, Clay Webb, and Tate Ratledge will look to take the next step. Highly regarded early enrollee Amarius Mims and will use the spring to make an impression on Georgia’s coaches. Another early enrollee, Micah Morris, underwent shoulder surgery in January 2021 and will miss spring workouts. The Bulldogs also return valuable depth in Chad Lindberg, Austin Blaske, Cameron Kinnie, Blake Watson, David Vann, Dalton Perry, Chris Brown, Miles Johnson, Devin Willock, and Weston Wallace.

specialists

The 2020 rotation returns intact with punter Jake Camarda, kicker Jack Podlesny, and snappers Payne Walker and William Mote. Camarda — 2020 SEC Special Teams Player of the Year — averaged 46.6 yards per punt a year ago, including nearly half of his efforts covering 50 or more yards. The Norcross native also handled kickoff duties for the final seven games of 2020, with touchbacks becoming routine. At punter he will be backed up by Noah Chumley and Noah Jones. Podlesny earned Offensive MVP honors at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl after he drilled a go-ahead 53-yard field goal with just three seconds left. For the year, he was 13-of-16 on field goals and 38-for-38 on extra points for a team-high 77 points. Jared Zirkel returns at kicker after redshirting in 2020. Kearis Jackson, Kenny McIntosh, and Zamir White were Georgia’s top return men a season ago.

defensive linemen

The Bulldogs are as deep and experienced as perhaps they have ever been along the defensive line. Ten-game starter Devonte Wyatt led all interior linemen with 25 tackles, including two for loss, last season and will return for a sixth year of eligibility. Jordan Davis notched 16 tackles in seven games and freed teammates by taking on multiple blockers. He punctuated his junior season by blocking a Cincinnati field goal in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. As a freshman, Jalen Carter emerged with 14 tackles in 2020, three for loss, and even caught a touchdown pass on offense. Like Davis, he also added a blocked placement kick (PAT vs. South Carolina) to his resume. Travon Walker had 13 stops and a caused fumble in 2020, followed by Zion Logue with eight tackles, Julian Rochester (who is returning for a sixth year) with six, Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson with three each, and Tramel Walthour, Tymon Mitchell, and Bill Norton with one apiece. The Bulldogs return Cade Brock after a redshirt season, while Marlin Dean, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, and Jonathan Jefferson will check in as early enrollees.

Another Year In The Red And Black Bulldog offensive and defensive starters who opted to return to Georgia for another season included

junior RB Zamir White and seniors RB James Cook, OT/OG Jamaree Salyer, OG Justin Shaffer, DL Devonte Wyatt, DL Julian Rochester, N Jordan Davis and WR Demetris Robertson. White redshirted the 2018 season after tearing his ACL for the second time. He started all 10 games in 2020 and finished with 779 yards and 11 touchdowns. Four Bulldogs took advantage of this year’s NCAA rule that 2020 seniors could return for the 2021 because of the ongoing pandemic. Shaffer has seen action in every season since 2017 for Georgia. Wyatt started his career at Hutchinson (Kan.) CC in 2017 and has been on the Bulldogs roster going into his fourth year. Rochester has started 21 games for Georgia since the 2016 season, including a pair in 2020 before going down with an ACL injury in the win at Kentucky. Robertson began his career at the University of California in 2016. Following a 2017 season that saw him play in only the Golden Bears’ first two games because of an injury, he transferred to Georgia and has started five games over the last three seasons.

Dawgs For Pups Bringing Change To Athens Area & Beyond The Bulldog football team initiated the Dawgs For Pups program over the last year to embrace

Following a year that saw their 2020 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game canceled due to the ongoing pandemic, the Bulldogs are set to line up in another non-conference opener at a neutral site (Charlotte, N.C.) in 2021. Georgia will face Clemson for the first time since topping the Tigers 45-21 in Athens in 2014. The Bulldogs own a 42-18-4 edge in the all-time series with Clemson and have won six of eight neutral site matchups. Georgia has a total of four non-conference showdowns scheduled - two to start the season and two to wrap the regular season up. After the opener versus Clemson, the Bulldogs will play host to UAB for only the third time in history. Georgia won the previous games (2003, 16-13; 2006, 34-0). Led by former Bulldog offensive line coach Sam Pittman, Arkansas will make its first trip to Sanford Stadium since 2010. Georgia leads the all-time record 11-4 with the Razorbacks. The Bulldogs knocked them off in Fayetteville, Ark., 37-10 in the 2020 opener. The Bulldogs’ slate features a single open weekend (Oct. 24) and it is again traditionally placed prior to the game versus Florida in Jacksonville, Fla. While the No. 8 Gators outlasted Georgia 44-28 in 2020, the Bulldogs beat their SEC Eastern Division rivals from 2017-19. A week after the Bulldogs close out their SEC schedule at Tennessee, they host Charleston Southern for their final home game on Nov. 20. The teams have only squared off against each other once and that resulted in a 55-9 Georgia victory in 2014 in Athens. The Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry was played every year from 1925 until 2019 and the series is slated to begin again in 2021. The Bulldogs have won the last three in a row, including a 52-7 victory in Athens during the teams’ last matchup in 2019.

2021 Bulldog Spring Storylines

the act of serving the Athens community and beyond and the early results have been overwhelming. Georgia’s players and staff helped raise more than $100,000 for wireless cards that area kindergarten through eighth grade students could use for virtual learning; collected nearly 30,000 pounds of food for local food banks; made a donation of more than 400 coats to those who were in need during the winter season; and adopted 100 families to buy Christmas presents for in December.

Georgia Signs One Of Country’s Top Classes Yet Again

For the fourth year in a row, the Bulldogs signed one of the nation’s top classes. Georgia added 20 prospects during the December and February signing periods, including 16 early enrollees. The sixteen early enrollees are the most that Georgia has added in school history. This group started school in January and are working out with the team while they take their first classes at Georgia. TE Brock Bowers (Napa, Calif.), DB Javon Bullard (Milledgeville, Ga.), RB Lovasea Carroll (Warrenton, Ga.), LB Chaz Chambliss (Carrollton, Ga.), DB David Daniel (Woodstock, Ga.), DL Marlin Dean (Bowman, Ga.), LB Jamon Dumas-Johnson (Hyattsville, Md.), OL Dylan Fairchild (Cumming, Ga.), DB Nyland Green (Covington, Ga.), DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (Gaffney, S.C.), DL Jonathan Jefferson (Douglasville, Ga.), DB Kamari Lassiter (Savannah, Ga.), WR Jackson Meeks (Phenix City, Ala.), OL Amarius Mims (Cochran, Ga.), WR Adonai Mitchell (Missouri City, Texas), LB Smael Mondon Jr. (Dallas, Ga.), OL Micah Morris (Kingsland, Ga.), LB Xavian Sorey Jr. (Campbellton, Fla.), QB Brock Vandagriff (Bogart, Ga.), OL Jared Wilson (Winston-Salem, N.C.)

Offensive Potential In 2021 The 2021 season will be the second under Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken. In 2020, the

Bulldogs went 8-2 employed three different signal callers. Georgia averaged 32.3 points/game, which ranked fifth in the SEC. When JT Daniels became the starter in late November, Georgia went 4-0 the rest of the season with wins over Mississippi State, South Carolina, No. 25 Missouri and No. 8 Cincinnati in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The Bulldogs did not have the benefit of a spring practice last year to install a new offense because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For many of Georgia’s players, this will be their first spring practice so the Bulldogs are eager to work on their rhythm and continuity at all positions.

New Faces In Secondary Jahmile Addae is the new Secondary coach for the Bulldogs after Charlton Warren left to become

the Defensive Coordinator at Indiana. Addae inherits a room that features returning starters in safeties junior Lewis Cine and senior Christopher Smith. The Bulldogs had four players leave early for the NFL Draft in starting corners Tyson Campbell and Eric Stokes along with seniors Richard LeCounte and Mark Webb. Senior Latavious Brini drew his first starting assignment versus the high-powered No. 8 Cincinnati passing attack in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. He had a career high five tackles, including two tackles for loss, and a pass break-up. The Bulldogs have inked a plethora of highly-ranked players in the secondary during the last two signing periods who will battle for a spot on the field this spring and preseason.

A Look At The Line

There will be plenty of competition for playing time on the offensive line for second-year Offensive Line coach Matt Luke. Georgia had to debut a new front in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl game after a couple longtime starters in C Trey Hill and OG Ben Cleveland made the decision to prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft. Senior Jamaree Salyer continues to show his versatility by lining up at both tackle and guard along with junior Warren Ericson, who started games at both C and OG in 2020. Salyer (LG), along with fifth-year senior Justin Shaffer (RG), started the bowl game with first-time starter Xavier Truss (LT) and redshirt sophomore Warren McClendon (RT). McClendon was a 2020 Freshman All-American after starting the last nine games in 2021. Salyer and Shaffer have each started 12 career games while Ericson has started three games.

* The Bulldogs have now held a spot in the AP Top 25 for 66 consecutive weeks, which ranks fourth nationally, dating back to the start of the 2017 season. Following Georgia’s second loss of the season, the Bulldogs fell out of the Top 10 on Nov. 8 for the first time since Sept. 25, 2017. This was a streak of 54 straight weeks in the Top 10 and that trailed only Alabama and Clemson, who each have been in the Top 10 for 92 consecutive weeks.

* The Bulldogs enter the 2021 season with the nation’s longest active bowl game streak at 24. Overall, the Bulldogs rank among the nation’s top post-season teams with 57 all-time appearances. Georgia owns a 33-21-3 record in post-season games. Last season, Georgia defeated No. 8 Cincinnati 24-21 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The Bearcats entered the bowl game undefeated at 9-0. * The win gave the Bulldog seniors a 44-9 record, which tied for the most wins by a senior class in school history. The 2005 and 2019 seniors also had 44 wins. The 2021 seniors enter this year 31-7.

Bulldogs Extend The Nation’s Longest Active Bowl Streak to 24 Games

* Junior Jack Podlesny was 13-for-16 on field goals and 38-for-38 on PATs in 2020. He made his debut in the 2020 season opening win at Arkansas and capped his first year by earning Offensive MVP honors at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. In the 24-21 win over #8 Cincinnati, Podlesny accounted for 10 points, including the game-winning 53-yard field goal with three seconds remaining. * Georgia enters the 2021 season with the NCAA record for Consecutive PATs Made. The streak stands at 330 and involves six kickers (Marshall Morgan, Patrick Beless, William Ham, David Marvin, Rodrigo Blankenship and Podlesny). * Georgia’s snappers this year include returning starters junior Payne Walker and redshirt sophomore William Mote. Walker snaps on field goals and PATs while Mote handles the snaps for punts.

One Of The Country’s Top Punting Units

* Senior punter and 2020 Ray Guy Award finalist Jake Camarda was the 2020 SEC Special Teams Player of the Year. He posted an SEC best 46.6 average that ranked fourth in the country. *Camarda punted 36 times and placed 18 inside the 20 and had 17 that have traveled 50+ in 2021. Opponents had four punt returns for 29 yards with 17 coming on a blocked punt versus No. 25 Missouri. Camarda also kicked off (36 of 41 touchbacks) and Georgia led the SEC and was eighth nationally in coverage (16.8 yds/ret). * Now beginning his fourth season, Camarda is averaging 45.5 yards/punt, which is on pace for a school record. Drew Butler, the 2009 Ray Guy Award winner, owns the Bulldog record with a 45.4 mark.

Back Deep For The Dogs

* In the KOR game, junior Kearis Jackson averaged 27.1 yards on 11 returns (298 yards), which ranked fourth in the SEC. The team is fifth nationally at 29.7. * Because WR/PR Dominick Blaylock missed the year with a knee injury, Jackson also handled the punt returns. Jackson had an SEC-high 15 returns and had a career-long 52 yarder against South Carolina * During the first part of the 2020 season, junior Kenny McIntosh played a key part in the return game before sustaining an injury during the fourth game of the year at #2 Alabama. He finished with six returns for 218 yards (SEC-best 36.3 average). McIntosh’s longest of the year was a 48 yarder at Arkansas.

KIRBY SMART Head Football Coach

hree straight SEC Eastern Division championships, 52 wins, one SEC title, four bowl victories, and an appearance in one national championship game are more than respectable rewards over a five-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 coaching staff, players, and a passionate fan base has put Georgia on the national stage four years running. Despite the challenges of practicing and playing in a pandemic, the 2020 Bulldogs became Smart’s fourth straight team to earn a New Year’s Six bowl game appearance. Their last-second victory over Cincinnati allowed the senior class to tie the school record for most wins (44), a mark also set in 2005 and 2019. They also became Smart’s fourth straight squad to finish the regular season ranked in the top ten of the College Football Playoff rankings, the final AP poll; and the USA Today Coaches Poll. 2019 - Smart’s 2019 Bulldogs became the first team in school history to win 11 or more games for a third straight season. 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, Georgia 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. The Bulldogs capped their season with a dominant victory over Baylor in the Allstate Sugar Bowl game. 2018 -- Georgia in 2018 posted an 11-1 regular season record, a second straight SEC Eastern Division title, and a ranking as high as number four in the College Football Playoff poll. Georgia landed in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 2019—the program’s tenth all-time appearance in the New Orleans classic. 2017 -- Smart’s second season in 2017 was a special one, with an 11-1 regular-season record, an SEC championship, a win over Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl Game (College Football Playoff semifinal) and advancement into the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in the program’s first appearance. In the SEC championship game, the Bulldogs avenged their only regular-season loss with a 28-7 victory over Auburn. It was the first conference title since 2005 for the Red and Black. Both Smart and his players reaped the bounty of their banner 2017 season.

No. 4 Georgia 37, Arkansas 10

Sept. 26, 2020 • Razorback Stadium • Fayetteville, Ark.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The fourth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs opened the 2020 season with a 37-10 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks Saturday afternoon before 16,500 spectators at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and an SEC Network audience. On its second drive, Arkansas struck first with a 49-yard touchdown pass from Feleipe Franks to Treylon Burks. Georgia’s offense labored in the early going, but the Bulldogs’ defense picked up from where it left off last season as Richard LeCounte picked off Franks and returned it 38 yards. Early in the second quarter, the defense once again showed its might as Mark Webb snuffed out an Arkansas double-reverse and forced the ball out of the end zone for a safety. Kenny McIntosh’s 48-yard kickoff return set up the Bulldogs in Razorback territory, but a mishandled snap necessitated another punt. Stetson Bennett relieved starter D’Wan Mathis on the following possession, and later in the quarter, the Bulldogs embarked on their most successful drive of the half as they swiftly moved down the field, resulting in Jack Podlesny’s 38-yard field goal at the end of the half. On the opening drive of the second half, the offensive malaise appeared to carry over as junior tailback James Cook fumbled a third-down completion at the Arkansas 42-yard line, leading to a 25-yard field goal by A.J. Reed, but that would prove to be the final Arkansas score of the contest. McIntosh again set up Georgia in excellent field position with a 43-yard return, leading to Bennett finding George Pickens for a 19-yard catch-and-run touchdown, giving Georgia its first lead. The special teams success continued on the following drive as White blocked Arkansas’ punt, leading to a 7-yard touchdown toss from Bennett to John FitzPatrick. Two plays later, Eric Stokes notched his second career touchdown with a 30-yard pick six off Franks. The secondary continued its phenomenal performance as LeCounte made a leaping interception of Treylon Burks’ trick play pass at the Georgia 19-yard line. Zamir White closed the Bulldogs’ fourth-consecutive scoring drive with a 6-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, with Podlesny later adding on a 38-yard field goal.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “We’ve got a long way to go to get where we need to go. But I want to be positive about the second half and what the guys were able to do. We gave them a little energy, a little juice. I thought we were very stagnant with undisciplined penalties and every time we had something going we’d shoot ourselves in the foot. It was either 15 yard penalty, 10 yard penalty or a turnover. You can’t win football games doing those things. I am proud of the way they were resilient in the second half. Special teams played really well. I give a lot of credit to Arkansas’ defense, they gave us a lot of problems but we’ve got to improve and get better.”

Worth Noting…

Richard LeCounte pulled down two interceptions against the Razorbacks, the second multi-pick game of his career.

georgia football

• Junior Eric Stokes had a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown to make it 27-10. It was the first by a Bulldog since current staffer Juwan Taylor had a 1-yard INT return for a score in 2018 at South Carolina. It was the first career INT for Stokes. Senior Richard LeCounte had a pair of interceptions to give him eight for his career. LeCounte collected a pair of picks in the 2020 Sugar Bowl win over Baylor. • Georgia seniors Richard LeCounte, Malik Herring and junior Jamaree Salyer served as captains. LeCounte walked out for the coin toss as teams are limited to one captain for the toss this season as part of COVID-19 rule change to limit the amount of personnel. • Georgia wore red pants and white jerseys as part of the 40th anniversary of the 1980 national champions. This was their uniform combination in the season opening road win over Tennessee. • Four Bulldogs on offense in D’Wan Mathis (QB), Owen Condon (RT), Darnell Washington (TE) and Jermaine Burton (WR) along with Nakobe Dean (LB) on defense and Jack Podlesny (KO/PK) and William Mote (SN) on special teams made their first career starts. Washington and Burton are true freshmen. The longest active starting streak on offense belongs to center Trey Hill now with 19 while Richard LeCounte leads the defense at 19 straight. September 26 marked the latest start date for the Bulldogs since the 1946 national champions opened up with a 35-12 win over Clemson in Athens on Sept. 27. 2021 Georgia spring Football Media Guide

Oct. 3, 2020 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens

ATHENS, Ga. - Fourth-ranked Georgia defeated the seventh-ranked Auburn Tigers, 27-6, under the lights of Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium in front of 20,524 spectators and an ESPN primetime audience. Following a three-and-out by each team, the Bulldogs strung together a 10-play, 43-yard drive punctuated by a 5-yard rushing touchdown from Zamir White, his second of the young season, with 9:31 left in the opening quarter. A 21-yard field goal attempt by redshirt-sophomore Jack Podlesny was good to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to 10-0 later in the period. Stetson Bennett, making his first career start, connected with sophomore George Pickens on a 21-yard touchdown with 11:08 to play in the second quarter, widening the lead to 17-0. On the ensuing drive, a 49-yard completion from Bennett to Jackson put the Bulldogs on the Auburn 12-yard line. Following a 7-yard McIntosh rush and a pair of 2-yard gains by White to the 1-yard line, White punched it in for his second score of the game. The Georgia defense was able to stop Auburn on the Bulldogs’ 3-yard line, forcing the Tigers to attempt a 20-yard field goal. The kick was good, and Auburn picked up its first score of the contest, 24-3, with that margin holding at halftime. Starting on its own 18-yard line to begin the second half, Auburn marched downfield but was stopped at the Georgia 28-yard line. A 45-yard field goal attempt was good by Anders Carlson to narrow the Bulldogs’ lead to 24-6. Georgia responded with a 10-play, 67-yard drive ending with a 25-yard field goal by Podlesny. The third quarter ended when senior cornerback Mark Webb intercepted Bo Nix to give Georgia the ball heading into the fourth quarter. The interception ended Nix’s streak of 251 pass attempts without an interception, which was the second-longest active streak in the country. Neither team scored in the final quarter as the 27-6 advantage for Georgia would hold en route to Georgia’s home-opening win over the Tigers.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I thought we showed improvement. We left a lot of plays out there. I thought we played really hard defensively but sloppy on thirdown. I thought offesively, when we play clean, meaning we don’t have a busted assignment, a penalty, or somebody doesn’t know what they’re doing, we do well; but we can go backwards as quickly as we can forwards offensively, and we probably left more out there... I was really proud of Stetson [Bennett] and the way he handled things, very composed. He probably had some balls he wishes he could have back, but he’ll only get better from here, and he gives us some continuity and we’ll continue to develop the other guys as well.”

Worth Noting… • The 27-6 result marked the fifth time in the last six meetings in the Kirby Smart era that Auburn was held to 14 points or less. It was Auburn’s lowest point tally since Georgia blanked the Tigers 38-0 in 2012 in Auburn and its lowest in Athens since 1967 when Georgia won 17-0. Georgia is now 9-4 against top 10 teams in the Smart era. • Redshirt-sophomore Kearis Jackson (9-for-147 yards) established career-highs in catches and yards, including a career-long 49-yarder in the first half. It was the best night for a Bulldog receiver since George Pickens earned MVP honors for his 2020 Sugar Bowl performance in the win over Baylor with 12 receptions for 175 yards and 1 TD. • With the win, Georgia leads the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry 61-56-8. It is the second most played active series in the NCAA FBS. Georgia now has won nine of the past 11 meetings, including four straight dating back to the 2017 SEC Championship Game. ESPN College GameDay was in town for the sixth time in school history and Georgia has won the game now on its last two visits, the previous one over No. 7 Notre Dame last year. • The game crowd was a sellout but was limited to just 20,524 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is Georgia’s smallest crowd since Sept. 28, 1963 when the Bulldogs beat Vanderbilt 20-0 in a driving rain before an estimated crowd of 17,000. With 88 yards and two TDs, Zamir White led a Bulldog rushing attack that racked up 202 yards on the ground against the Tigers.

No. 3 Georgia 44, No. 14 Tennessee 21 Oct. 10, 2020 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens

ATHENS, Ga. - Third-ranked Georgia defeated the 14th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers 44-21 on Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium in front of a crowd of 20,524 and a national audience on CBS. On Georgia’s second offensive play of the game, the snap sailed past quarterback Stetson Bennett, rolled to the endzone, and was recovered by Tennessee’s Kivon Bennett for a Volunteer touchdown. After forcing a three-and-out on Tennessee’s first offensive drive, Bennett went to Kenny McIntosh for a 29-yard catch-and-run to the 1-yard line. Zamir White then punched it in for Georgia to tie the game at 7. A 95-yard drive later culminated in Bennett’s first rushing touchdown of the season after he dove and caught a piece of the pylon. Tennessee took just one play to knot the game as Jarrett Guarantano found Josh Palmer for a 36-yard touchdown pass. After Jack Podlesny nailed a 37-yard field goal, the Volunteers responded once more with a 27-yard Palmer touchdown catch. With an ensuing goal line stand, Tennessee entered the half with a 21-17 lead. In the second half, Azeez Ojulari sacked Guarantano and forced a fumble recovery at the 15-yard line, leading to another Georgia field goal from 34 yards. Eric Stokes’ second interception of the season came on Tennessee’s next drive, giving the Bulldogs possession on the Volunteer 36-yard line. Georgia could not convert a first down as Podlesny stepped in for a 51-yard field goal attempt. The redshirt-sophomore split the uprights for a new career-long and put the Bulldogs back in the lead with 10:11 to play in the third, 23-21. An eight-play, 62-yard scoring drive resulted in Kearis Jackson’s first career receiving touchdown, a 21-yard pass from Bennett, widening Georgia’s lead to 30-21 near the end of the third quarter. A 1-yard touchdown pass from Bennett to freshman defensive lineman Jalen Carter lengthened the Bulldog lead to 37-21 with about 10 and a half minutes to play. The lead was bolstered on a Monty Rice scoop-and-score on Tennessee’s very next drive. Rice sacked Guarantano, forcing Tennessee’s third fumble of the game before picking up the ball and returning it 20 yards for the touchdown to create the final score of 44-21.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I certainly didn’t expect it to go that way. We didn’t start the way we needed to. We’ve got to show a lot of improvement in a lot of areas and just disappointed in our start to the game. Anytime you spot somebody seven [points], that’s not good. We gave up some explosive plays on defense. But the positives were we didn’t blink, we’ve got a very emotional team and I thought in the locker room, there were a lot of emotions shown. Tennessee’s got a good football team; I’ve got a lot of respect for Jeremy [Pruitt] and his staff, how hard his kids play, how physical they play. They play a really good brand of football, as we do too.”

• Georgia got 13 points on three turnovers while UT got seven points off two fumbles, including one recovered in the end zone by Kivon Bennett after a high snap resulted in a team rush for minus 30 yards. It gave UT a 7-0 lead with 14:17 left. It was the first fumble recovery for a TD against Georgia since 2018 (Josh Jacobs, Alabama). UT came in as one of five teams in the FBS (and the only SEC team) not to have a turnover this year. Georgia’s Monty Rice had a 17-yard fumble return for a scoop and score to make it 44-21 advantage with 9:56 left. • With the 44-21 victory, Georgia now leads the all-time series 25-23-2 as it dates back to 1899. Georgia has won four straight in the series. The Bulldogs are now 7-1 against ranked teams at home in the Kirby Smart era and 17-9 overall. This game was the first top 15 showdown with UT since 2006. • Graduate transfer TE Tré McKitty made his first career start as a Bulldog as Georgia opened up with a two tight end set. It was his Bulldog debut as he missed the first two games this year due to a knee injury. He had made 19 starts at Florida State. On defense, sophomore SLB Nolan Smith made his first career start. The longest active starting streak on offense belongs to center Trey Hill now with 21 while Richard LeCounte leads the defense with 21 straight. 2021 Georgia spring Football Media Guide

Oct. 17, 2020 • Bryant-Denny Stadium • Tuscaloosa, Ala.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The third-ranked Georgia Bulldogs suffered their first loss of the 2020 season to the second-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, 41-24, in front of 19,424 spectators at Bryant-Denny Stadium and a CBS primetime national audience. Both teams’ defenses asserted themselves early with Stetson Bennett and Mac Jones each throwing interceptions on their opening drives. Alabama capitalized on its pick as Jones found John Metchie III for a 40-yard touchdown early in the first quarter. Georgia responded with a 10-yard touchdown run from Zamir White, following a 25-yard run by Kendall Milton. On the first play of the second quarter, Bennett connected with James Cook on an 82-yard touchdown catch, giving Georgia a 14-7 lead. Following field goals from each teams, Alabama tied the game with a 17yard touchdown to DeVonta Smith with three minutes left in the half. On the ensuing drive, Bennett led the Bulldogs down the field on a 12-play, 66-yard drive, culminating with a 5-yard touchdown to Jermaine Burton. Despite only 23 seconds remaining before halftime, the Crimson Tide picked up points on a career-long 50-yard field goal by Will Reichard. The third quarter was marked by stout defense from both teams, but the impasse eventually broke when Jones unloaded a 90-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle, putting Alabama ahead for the rest of the contest. Looking to respond, Bennett’s pass was tipped into the air and intercepted by Malachi Moore at the Alabama 25-yard line. The Crimson Tide moved to seal the game, leading to Najee Harris’ 2-yard touchdown run with 51 seconds remaining in the third. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Bennett was intercepted for a third time near midfield, followed by Alabama running a five-minute drive that ended with a Reichard field goal. Trailing by 17, the Bulldogs made one last attempt to score, reaching the red zone via a pair of long completions to Kearis Jackson and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. However, the drive would come up empty as Jack Podlesny missed from 35 yards out, allowing Alabama to run out the clock.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “Give Alabama a lot of credit. They have great skill players, and I thought we contained them early. The second half we couldn’t do it. Give their coaches credit. They outcoached us. Frustrated we couldn’t get anything going in the second half. We played a really great football team, and we had some costly turnovers. Give them credit, and we have to go back to the drawing board. We still control our own destiny... They made a couple big throws. They beat us on some bubble plays and a double move with Waddle. They made a lot of big plays on 50/50 balls. Smith and Waddle had some big catches.”

Oct. 31, 2020 • Kroger Field • Lexington, Ky.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Despite producing just two scoring drives, the fifthranked Georgia Bulldogs rode their outstanding defense to a 14-3 victory over Kentucky in front of 12,000 spectators at Kroger Field and an SEC Network television audience. After forcing a Kentucky punt on its first possession, Georgia quickly established itself on the ground, rushing on every play on the way to a 2-yard touchdown run from Stetson Bennett. Following a pair of punts from each team, Kentucky embarked on a marathon drive of its own that drained much of the second quarter clock. The Wildcats grabbed their lone points of the game with a 34-yard field goal from Matt Ruffolo, finishing off the 19-play, 77-yard sequence that lasted over 10 minutes. The Georgia offense finally returned to the field in impressive fashion as Bennett found James Cook for a 46-yard completion that was then bolstered by consecutive strong rushes from Zamir White, moving the ball to the Kentucky 10-yard line. However, the drive was cut short as Bennett’s pass was tipped for an interception by Kentucky’s Phil Hoskins. While the Wildcats were unable to convert on the turnover, the Bulldogs also came up empty as Jack Podlesny’s 53-yard field goal attempt was blocked at the end of the half. On the opening possession of the second half, Georgia came out firing as Bennett connected with Darnell Washington on a 33-yard reception into Kentucky territory. Facing 4th-and-1 at the Wildcats’ 22-yard line, White broke through the line for a season-long 22-yard touchdown run, concluding a 7-play, 75-yard scoring drive. Kentucky crossed into Georgia territory on the ensuing drive, but Monty Rice forced a Joey Gatewood fumble that was recovered by Richard LeCounte at the 36-yard line. The Bulldogs reached midfield on the following drive, but the momentum was cut once again as Bennett was intercepted by Kelvin Joseph on a deep throw to the Kentucky 18. In the fourth quarter, the Wildcats looked to cut the deficit with another long march into Bulldog territory, but an incompletion on 4th-and-6 gave the ball back to Georgia and ended any chance of a comeback win.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “We came in with the mind set that we wanted to score every single possession we got the ball and do it by any means necessary. Whether that was run the ball, throw the ball, you take what they give you. And that’s what we were doing...We executed well at times. We ran the ball against a really good, physical Kentucky defense. I was pleased with that. It’s hard to make yourself throw when you’re running successfully...(Kentucky) did a great job of shortening the game. They know that they were probably over-matched, and they shrunk the game. They ran the quarterback and they didn’t take many chances, but they stayed on schedule.”

Nov. 7, 2020 • TIAA Bank Field • Jacksonville, Fla.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - On a soggy neutral turf, the fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (4-2, 4-2 SEC) fell, 44-28, to the eighth-ranked Florida Gators (4-1, 4-1 SEC) in front of 19,210 fans at TIAA Bank Field and a CBS television audience. On the first play from scrimmage, Zamir White immediately put Georgia on the board with a 75-yard rushing touchdown. Following a three-and-out for the Gators, the Bulldogs quickly moved into Florida territory before Stetson Bennett found Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint for a 32-yard touchdown, building an early 14-0 lead. Facing a two-score deficit, Florida’s offense broke into Georgia territory with a 39-yard completion from Kyle Trask to Keon Zipperer, leading to a 14-yard touchdown catch by Justin Shorter with 8:20 remaining in the first quarter. On their ensuing possession, the Gators again worked down the field, culminating in a 2-yard touchdown run from Dameon Pierce to tie the game. Early in the second quarter, Georgia retook the lead as Eric Stokes picked off Trask and returned it 37 yards for his second touchdown of the season, giving the Bulldogs a 21-14 advantage with 12:17 to play in the half. Despite the turnover, Florida soon rebounded with a two-play scoring drive, featuring a 50-yard completion followed by a 25-yard scoring completion to Kyle Pitts. Following a Georgia punt, Florida broke the tie with a 24-yard touchdown catch by Kemore Gamble before later adding a 50-yard field goal from Evan McPherson. The Gators then took advantage of a short punt with a 14-yard touchdown from Trask to Trevon Grimes. After Florida notched a 51-yard field goal, Georgia looked to narrow the margin, but Bennett was intercepted at the Florida 35-yard line on 3rd-and-10 near midfield. On the next Bulldog possession, D’Wan Mathis entered the game and engineered the first scoring drive since the opening quarter. Following a conversion on 4th-and-1 at midfield, Mathis found Kearis Jackson for a 25-yard touchdown. Following a missed 44-yard field goal by McPherson, both teams began trading punts in the fourth quarter. The Gators looked to seal the game but the Bulldogs forced an incompletion on 4th-and-4 at the Georgia 28 with five minutes remaining. On the next possession, Mathis was intercepted on a fourth down attempt, allowing Florida to close the scoring with a 34-yard field goal.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “Offensively, they played with a lot of eye-candy and emotions that obviously we didn’t handle well. I always say, ‘If somebody beat you man-toman and you got it covered and you can’t get the ball out, that’s going to happen with the way we play defense.’ But, when you let people score with nobody around and nobody there, it’s not good...It’ll be a game for me that was missed opportunities. I thought that we missed a lot of opportunities. I felt like with the defense and offense. I feel like we dropped a couple picks that could have been big plays. Obviously offensively, I feel like we missed a lot of open shots and that’s the toughest thing.”

Following an unsuccessful first possession, Georgia heated up in the second quarter as JT Daniels connected with George Pickens on an 8-yard touchdown pass, the first of Daniels’ Bulldog career. MSU responded with another lengthy drive, using over seven minutes to retake the lead on a 4-yard touchdown rush by Dillon Johnson. On the ensuing possession, Daniels found Jermaine Burton for 49 yards, but MSU’s defense was able to halt the momentum, leading to a field goal from Jack Podlesny that tied the game at 10. MSU soon retook the lead as Jaden Walley posted a 51-yard catch-andrun, but Daniels and Burton connected once again for an 18-yard touchdown catch with just 30 seconds in the half, sending both teams into the locker room tied at 17 apiece. In the third quarter, Georgia opened with the ball, leading to a 48-yard touchdown pass from Daniels to Burton, giving the Bulldogs their largest lead of the contest. As they had multiple times before, State methodically moved down field, striking with a 15-yard completion from Rogers to Osirus Mitchell on third down that set up Johnson’s 3-yard touchdown rush to tie the game. As the defenses started to assert themselves, Georgia used its stout passing game to take the lead for good on a nine-play scoring drive, with Daniels finding Kearis Jackson for a 40-yard touchdown on third-and-20. Each of State’s final two drives were then halted by sacks from Jermaine Johnson and Azeez Ojulari, allowing Georgia to kneel out the clock.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “First off, hats off to Mississippi State and Coach Mike Leach and his team. To come over here and have some guys down and go out and play the way they did; I thought they played with a lot of heart and a lot of fight. What JT did, he said ‘Coach, I want to come down to the scouts and I want to throw, and I want to be part of the game plan.’ And he came down in front of me and went every day against what I think is a pretty good defense and he made plays and moved around the pocket and he started showing us that ‘I can do this thing’ and he took the bull by the horns and he took advantage of it tonight.”

Worth Noting… • In his first action for Georgia, redshirt sophomore transfer JT Daniels (28for-38, 401 yards, 4 TDs) set a career high for passing yards and TD passes. His previous best was 349 yards versus Notre Dame in 2018 and he had three TD passes twice before while at USC. Daniels became the first Bulldog QB to throw for more than 400 yards in a game since Aaron Murray in 2013 against Auburn when he went for 415. Daniels is the seventh Bulldog to throw for at least 400 yards in a game. • Daniels became the third different Bulldog to start at quarterback this year. The 2006 season marked the last time Georgia started three different QBs in a season: Joe Tereshinski III, Matthew Stafford, and Joe Cox. • Freshman Jermaine Burton led the receivers with eight catches for a career-high 197 yards and 2 TDs. His 197 yards ranks fourth best in Georgia history for a game and the most since Tavarres King set the record with 205 against Michigan State in 2012 Outback Bowl. • For the fifth time in a regulation game in the modern era, and the second time under Kirby Smart, Georgia wore black jerseys. The Bulldogs last wore them in a regular season game during a 2016 win over Louisiana. In the 2019 Red-Black Spring game, the black team wore black jerseys. JT Daniels made his Georgia debut a memorable one by throwing for a career-best 401 yards and four TDs.

No. 9 Georgia 45, South Carolina 16

Nov. 28, 2020 • Williams-Brice Stadium • Columbia, S.C.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - The ninth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs rode their stout run game to a decisive 45-16 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks in front of 16,444 fans at Williams-Brice Stadium and an SEC Network television audience. After receiving the opening kick, Georgia broke into the South Carolina red zone with a 40-yard completion from JT Daniels to Tre’ McKitty, leading to McKitty reaching for the pylon on a 6-yard catch-and-run touchdown three plays later. Following a Gamecock punt, the Bulldogs once again used explosive plays to cross midfield as Cook rushed for 44 yards on the second play of the possession and Daniels found George Pickens for a 17-yard catch. Cook then closed out the scoring drive with a 5-yard touchdown rush. On the ensuing Georgia drive, White extended the early lead with a 22-yard touchdown run. South Carolina finally broke onto the scoreboard with a 1-yard touchdown carry by Kevin Harris, before adding a 39-yard field goal on its next drive. Unfazed by the scoring burst, the Bulldogs remained strong on the ground, culminating in Cook busting straight through the line for a 29-yard touchdown. In need of a score, the Gamecocks methodically moved into Bulldog territory, highlighted by a fourth down conversion at their own 34yard line, but they were unable to capitalize as Parker White missed from 53 yards out just before halftime. After South Carolina went three-and-out on its first drive of the second half, Kearis Jackson returned a punt 52 yards to the Gamecock 13-yard line, leading to a quick 3-yard touchdown run from White. On their next drive, the Bulldogs appeared to add another touchdown from Daijun Edwards, but a penalty negated the score and they would have to settle for a 32-yard field goal from Jack Podlesny. Following Tyson Campbell’s first career interception and subsequent 40-yard return, Georgia opened the final quarter impressively as Daniels connected with Arian Smith on a 31-yard touchdown. South Carolina responded with its longest drive of the night, closing out with a 7-yard touchdown pass from Luke Doty to Nick Muse, but the ensuing extra point was blocked by Jalen Carter. The Bulldogs would run out the last nine minutes of the game with a 13-play drive to the Gamecock 1-yard line, including 11 rushes from Edwards.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I’m really proud of our guys. I don’t know if really anybody understands the college football environment this year. It is just so different, 2020 has been so different in terms of motivation. These kids sacrifice a lot to have this season. They don’t get to go and do things they normally do. The season has really been long and all across college football with the injuries, COVID concerns and cancellations it has been a really unique year. I just want to give our kids a lot of credit for sticking through it, staying together and continuing to fight. This group has really stuck together, and I want to give them a lot of credit for that.”

Channing Tindall returned to his hometown and recorded one of four QB sacks by the Bulldog defense.

Kirby Smart won his 50th game as the Bulldogs coach. He is 50-14 in this his fifth season including 4-1 against the Gamecocks. • Freshman Arian Smith had a 31-yard TD reception for his first career catch. He is the first Bulldog to score on his first touch since Demetris Robertson scored on a 72-yard run against Austin Peay in 2018. • The longest active starting streak on offense belongs to center Trey Hill now with 26 while the longest streak on defense belongs to junior DB Eric Stokes at 23. Redshirt sophomores Azeez Ojulari, and Zamir White along with junior Channing Tindall (a native of Columbia, S.C.) served as the captains. It was the second straight week that Ojulari was a captain, a first for the Bulldogs this year. Ojulari, senior Monty Rice and junior Jamaree Salyer each have been a game captain a team-high three times this year.

No. 9 Georgia 49, No. 25 Missouri 14 Dec. 12, 2020 • Memorial Stadium • Columbia, Mo.

COLUMBIA, Mo. - With a second-half offensive surge, the ninth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs pulled away from 25th-ranked Missouri, 49-14, in front of 10,830 fans at Memorial Stadium and an SEC Network television audience. The Georgia defense immediately made its mark as Eric Stokes intercepted Missouri quarterback Connor Bazelak on the Tigers’ second play from scrimmage, returning his fourth pick of the season 27 yards to the Missouri 23-yard line. The Bulldogs then ran six consecutive times, culminating in Kenny McIntosh’s 2-yard scoring rush, his first of the season. After a Mizzou punt, James Cook added to the Bulldogs’ lead with a 37-yard catch-and-run touchdown on third-and-8, bringing the score to 14-0 halfway through the first quarter. Missouri answered on its ensuing possession as a 29-yard trick play reception set up a 2-yard touchdown run from Bazelak. For much of the second quarter, both teams struggled offensively, but the Tigers blocked a Jake Camarda punt and returned it to the Bulldogs’ 1-yard line. After two goal line stops, tailback Larry Rountree broke through the line for a score, tying the game at 14 with just over a minute before halftime. In need of a response, Daniels and the Georgia passing game quickly moved down the field with three straight long completions, culminating in a 36-yard touchdown catch by Pickens. The offense carried the momentum into the second half, beginning with a 36-yard White rush into Missouri territory. Three plays later, Daniels again found Pickens for a 31-yard touchdown reception. After the Tigers stalled near midfield, the Bulldogs broke the game open as White took off for a 43-yard touchdown rush. On the ensuing Georgia possession, a 36-yard completion from Daniels to Darnell Washington set up Cook’s second touchdown of the day, a 9-yard rush. Freshman Daijun Edwards then wrapped up the Bulldogs’ scoring for the day with a 6-yard touchdown run on the second play of the fourth quarter, becoming the fourth different Georgia runner to score in the contest.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “Really proud of our team, proud of our seniors, proud of our leadership, proud of our staff, and proud of our support staff. It was some really tough conditions to play in today, and it just goes to show you that not everybody across the country loves football the way the kids do, especially in our conference, but they love it and they love it at Georgia. The leaders on this team said they wanted to play well and they practiced really hard this week... At the end of the day, those kids showed up to play and play physical and play fast, and they practiced hard all week when, across the country, that’s not happening in every place. I’m proud of the way those guys handled it.”

• In a little more than three quarters of action, redshirt sophomore QB JT Daniels finished 16-for-27 for 299 yards and 3 TDs in a 49-14 victory. Georgia finished with 615 yards of total offense (299-passing, 316 rushing), the most since going for 656 against Arkansas State last year. This is the second straight game with 40+ points by the offense after a 45-16 road win over South Carolina. • Freshman Daijun Edwards got his first career TD, a six-yarder and finished with a career-high 103 yards on 11 attempts. Along with Zamir White’s 126 yards, this was the first time since the 2018 Kentucky game that the Bulldogs had a pair go over 100 yards. That day it was D’Andre Swift (157) and Elijah Holyfield (117). • Junior Eric Stokes notched his team-leading fourth interception on Missouri’s opening possession and returned it 27 yards to the MU 23. It led to a TD and a 7-0 edge. Georgia now has 9 interceptions on the year, the most since 2017 when the Bulldogs had 12. • At kickoff, the temperature in Columbia was 39 degrees. In the Kirby Smart era, the previous coldest temperature at kickoff was 40 degrees against Missouri last year in Athens. The last time Georgia played a game that began in the 30s was the 2014 Belk Bowl in Charlotte on Dec. 30. It was 39 degrees, and the Bulldogs defeated Louisville 37-14.

No. 9 Georgia 24, No. 8 Cincinnati 21 Jan. 1, 2021 • Mercedes-Benz Stadium • Atlanta, Ga.

ATLANTA - Jack Podlesny’s career-long 53-yard field goal with three seconds left completed a 24-21 comeback victory for the ninth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs over No. 8 Cincinnati at the 2021 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in front of 15,301 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and an ESPN television audience. After both defenses dominated early, Cincinnati struck first as Desmond Ridder found Alec Pierce for a 14-yard touchdown. Georgia immediately responded by entering the Bearcats’ red zone, but it was unable to convert, however, when JT Daniels was intercepted in the end zone by Coby Bryant. A 38-yard gain from Darnell Washington on the next drive allowed for Daniels to connect with George Pickens on a 16-yard touchdown pass, tying the game. In the second quarter, Cincinnati slowly moved down the field, but a 33yard field goal attempt missed wide left. On the very next play, Daniels found Arian Smith on a 55-yard pass, but the Bearcat defense held the Bulldogs out of the end zone and forced a 37-yard field goal from Podlesny. Ridder then capped a Cincinnati drive when he found Josh Whyle for an 11-yard touchdown catch with just six seconds left in the half. The Bearcats carried the momentum into the second half, extending their lead on a 79-yard touchdown run from Jerome Ford on the second play from scrimmage. On the ensuing drive, Georgia slowed its tempo and worked into Cincinnati territory but Daniels fumbled on a sack. The Georgia defense quickly stepped up, sacking Ridder twice and forcing a punt. The Bulldogs moved toward the red zone with a pair of offsides penalties, but a stalled drive led to an unsuccessful fourth-and-1 attempt as Daniels’ throw was broken up. Early in the fourth quarter, Azeez Ojulari put Georgia back in the game with a strip-sack of Ridder, leading to a 9-yard Zamir White touchdown run. Cincinnati later converted on a fake punt but could not capitalize, allowing for Podlesny to hit another field goal. The Bearcats then had an opportunity to run out the clock, but on third-and-2, Ridder’s pass was batted away. Daniels then moved the Bulldogs into scoring territory with five straight completions. The drive stalled at the UC 36, whereupon Podlesny booted the game-winner, which split the uprights with several yards to spare. Ojulari provided the game’s final score when he sacked Ridder in the end zone as time expired.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I’m certainly proud of our team. I’m proud of the adversity we went through throughout the year with the pandemic. I don’t think we played our best game today. My hat is off to Cincinnati. They did a really good job of defensively controlling our run game, and offensively keeping us off balance enough with their quarterback run game... I don’t think anybody really truly understands, not just Georgia, but how hard it was on entire college football to be persistent, to go this long, practice this long. My hat goes off to the guys in the room.”

Justin Shaffer and Payne Walker celebrate with kicker Jack Podlesny after his career-long 53-yard field goal with :03 left defeated Cincinnati in the 2021 Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl.

• Jack Podlesny’s kick was the first game-winning field goal for Georgia since Rodrigo Blankenship’s 25-yarder to defeat Kentucky in 2016. It was also the third bowl-winning kick in program history and the longest game winner overall since Kevin Butler’s 60-yard boot against Clemson in 1984. For his efforts, Podlesny was named the Peach Bowl Offensive Player of the Game, becoming just the second place-kicker to earn the honor. • Redshirt sophomore linebacker Azeez Ojulari earned Defensive Player of the Game honors with three sacks and two forced fumbles, tying the school record for sacks in a bowl game. Overall, the Bulldogs tied the school record for team sacks in a bowl with eight, matching the total set against Hawaii in the 2008 Sugar Bowl. Sophomore linebacker Nakobe Dean and junior linebacker Quay Walker led the Bulldogs with seven tackles apiece. Overall, Georgia held Cincinnati to 305 yards on offense, including just 107 in the second half. • Georgia extended the nation’s longest active bowl streak to 24 with the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl appearance. With the victory, Georgia improved its alltime bowl record to 33-21-3, including 4-2 in the Peach Bowl. This was Georgia’s first appearance in the Peach Bowl since 2006, a 31-24 comeback victory over Virginia Tech at the Georgia Dome. • Senior safety Richard LeCounte was selected as the team captain in his final game for the Bulldogs. Despite missing the previous four games due to injury, LeCounte joined his teammates on the field for the final snap of the game.

UGA's mascot tradition 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.”

Trilby, 1894

Ga. He was spotted by students who were attending the 1946 Georgia-Georgia 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.

In 1894, Georgia’s mascot was a solid white female bull terrier Mike, 1951-55 owned by a student, Charles H. Butch was succeeded Black, Sr., of Atlanta. Trilby, by Mike, another brindled named after a novel by George English bulldog, owned by Du Maurier, served as the campus C. L. Fain.

uga's mascot tradition Uga I, 1956-66 “Hood’s Ole Dan” Record: 53-48-6 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 Uga I was necessary to take 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 II, 1966-72 “Ole Dan’s Uga” Record: 42-16-3 Uga I was succeeded by his son, Ole Dan’s Uga at an impressive pregame ceremony at Homecoming, 1966. With the Georgia Redcoat Band lining the field, Uga II was led to the center of the field by Charles Seiler, son of Sonny and Cecelia. The student body erupted in a cheer that was picked up by the entire stadium, ‘‘Damn Good Dog!’’ Uga II had an impressive reign as he watched Georgia participate in five bowl games and win two SEC championships. epitaph: Not Bad for A Dog

Uga IV, 1981-89 “Seiler’s Uga Four” Record: 77-27-4 Uga IV was perhaps the most active of all the Georgia mascots, standing as the only one to attend a bowl game every year of his service (1981-89). He took over for Uga III in the 1981 season opener and over the next nine seasons, led Georgia to a record of 77-27-4. The highlight of his career was his personal appearance at the Heisman Trophy Banquet with Herschel Walker in New York on December 9, 1982. Uga IV was escorted through thebanquet hall by Uga IV the president of the Downtown Athletic Club, and was earlier photographed with Herschel by photographers from across the country. The proud Bulldog donned his game jersey for the outing and added the formal touch of a collar and black tie. Uga IV was the first mascot invited to the Heisman Banquet.Declared ‘‘Dog of the Decade’’ by Vince Dooley in 1991, Uga IV was posthumously awarded the highest honor available to University of Georgia mascots — the Georgia varsity letter. epitaph: The Dog of the Decade

Otto, 1986 “The Substitute” Record: 3-1 Although Otto was not pure white like his father, he was called upon to fill in for his younger brother, Uga IV, who injured ligaments in his left hind knee when jumping off a Otto hotel bed before the Vanderbilt contest. In four games during the 1986 season, Otto led the team to a 3-1 record and also co-mascotted (along with Uga IV), a victory over instate rival Georgia Tech. After winning his first two games, fans cheered, “2-and-0 with Otto!” Dooley, serving as head coach during Otto’s brief tenure, favored the substitute the most. “I have always had a great affection for those who came off the bench and performed, and he did that and had a great time,” Dooley said. Otto is buried in the Seiler’s backyard.

Born Oct. 9, 1972, Seiler’s Uga III was present for Georgia football’s finest moment as Herschel Walker took the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship. He led Georgia to six bowl games in nine years and closed out his career in ultimate fashion winning the 1980 NCAA championship. Uga III retired on the 100th football game of his career, marking the season-opener of the 1981 season. He died just weeks later. epitaph: How ‘Bout This Dawg

uga's mascot tradition 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. Epitaph: “Nation’s Best College Mascot”—Sports Illustrated

Uga VI, 1999-2008 “Uga V’s Whatchagot Loran” Record: 87-27

Uga VI

In 2007, Uga VI became the winningest mascot in school history and owned a record of 87-27. 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.

Uga VII, 2008-2009 “Loran’s Best” Record: 16-7 The seventh in the Uga line of Georgia mascots was introduced to the Georgia people on Aug. 30, 2008, during pre-game ceremonies of the Bulldogs’ season opener against Georgia Southern. “Loran’s Best” officially became “Uga VII,” when he was introduced for the first time to the Sanford Stadium crowd prior to kickoff of the Georgia vs. Georgia Southern game. He was escorted onto the field by members of the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah who have owned the continuous line of mascots

since Uga I took up the mantle in 1956. Uga VII passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 19 of heart-related causes. It was the Thursday before the final home game of the 2009 season and the Bulldogs did not have a live mascot at the game. 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. He was the first substitute mascot since “Otto” in 1986. Epitaph: Gone Too Soon

Uga VIII, 2010 “Big Bad Bruce” Record: 4-2 Born Sept. 12, 2009 in Savannah, Uga VIII is the grandson of Uga VI. He carried on the tradition of more than 60 years of all-white bulldogs bred by Frank “Sonny” Seiler and family. Uga VIII was named in honor of Dr. Bruce Hollett from the University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Hollett was a longtime caregiver for the famed line of English bulldogs. Uga VIII UGA VIII served six games in the 2010 season before he became ill and missed the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. He passed away with lymphoma on February 4, 2011. Epitaph: He Never Had a Chance

Uga IX, 2012-14 (“Russ”, 2009-2012: 16-9) Record: 44-19 “Uga IX, formerly “Russ,” the half-brother of Uga VII, served as interim Bulldog mascot for a total of 25 games. He worked nine games during the 2009 and 2010 seasons after Uga VII and VIII passed away. He roamed the sidelines at all 14 games during the 2011 season. He then served for two wins at the beginning of the 2012 season before being promoted as Uga Uga IX IX prior to the Florida Atlantic game on Sept. 15, 2012. His time as mascot included the 2011 and 2012 SEC Eastern Division championships, three road wins at Georgia Tech, a victory over Texas A&M in the 2009 Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., and a win over Nebraska in the 2013 Capital One Bowl. He was the first substitute mascot since “Otto” in 1986. Epitaph: He endeared himself to the Georgia people. His dedication to duty when called upon was exemplary.

Uga X, 2015-Present “Que” Record: 62-17 Uga IX officially retired as the Bulldogs’ mascot at the end of the 2014 season. After a three-month audition in that role, his grandson “Que” was formally crowned as his successor in a collaring ceremony prior to the Georgia-Georgia Southern game on Nov. 21, 2015. Que assumed the title of Uga X at the age of 2 1/2 years. During his audition, he made appearances at the Countdown to Kickoff event in July 2015, as well as Picture Day in August, before Uga X presiding over the the 2015 season. Que capped his inaugural campaign by leading the team to a 24-17 victory over Penn State at the 2016 Taxslayer Bowl. The uniqueness of the 2020 football season was exemplified by the absence of Que on the UGA sideline. NCAA- and SEC-mandated restrictions, related to the COVID-19 pandemic, confined the ever-popular mascot to his home in Savannah for the entire season, including Georgia’s Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl victory.

UGA traditions The Arch

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.

‘‘How ‘Bout Them Dogs’’

Chapel Bell

“Bulldogs”

“Between the Hedges”

“Lone Trumpeter”

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.
