2021 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

dawg tracks

he Georgia Bulldogs had been crowned 2021 national champions 45 minutes earlier. Celebratory confetti stuck to the players’ cleats as they entered the locker room. Teammates, coaches, and support staff shared ardent hugs. The goal, some four decades in the making, had been realized. And then, scant moments later, the theme shifted. After Coach Kirby Smart thanked the seniors and the juniors who had delayed their NFL announcements, he put the returnees on alert. While embracing the 2021 title, begin focusing on how to do it again in 2022. “I know all of the players will remember this feeling, but I also want the men coming back to stay hungry,” Smart said. “It’s special to win, but it takes blood, sweat, and tears. It takes connection and toughness. Our job now changes as coaches. We have to do a tremendous job of explaining to our kids how the wind blows at the top. I’ve seen it first hand and it is not easy. As you climb that mountain, it is windy up there. There are a lot of kids to replace off last year’s team who were tremendous leaders, and hopefully that will carry over to the younger ones.” That process began with offseason weightroom sessions and will continue in March and April with spring practices. By the time G-Day rolls around in mid-April, Smart and his staff hope to have a sense of the DNA of the 2022 Bulldogs. What follows is a pre-spring position-by-position breakdown for the Bulldogs, not factoring in offseason surgeries or injury rehabilation or the players who are due to join the team for fall camp.

QUARTERBACKS

The Bulldogs are buoyed offensively by the return of Stetson Bennett, the Offensive MVP for both the College Football Playoff National Championship Game and the Capital One Orange Bowl. Bennett threw for 2,862 yards and 29 touchdowns last season and checks into 2022 as the Bulldogs’ third-leading returning rusher with 259 yards and a score. Carson Beck appeared in four games as a reserve last season, throwing for two touchdowns, and Brock Vandagriff took limited snaps in two contests. Early enrollee Gunner Stockton set Georgia state records for passing touchdowns (177), total touchdowns (254), and total yards (18,024) during his prep career. The Bulldogs also will take a look this spring at Jackson Muschamp, N athan Priestley, and Collin Drake.

tight ends

Brock Bowers logged an All-America and Freshman All-America season with team-high totals and Georgia tight end records for catches (56), yards (882), and touchdowns (13) in 2021. Darnell Washington battled through an early season injury to become an effective weapon down the stretch for the eventual national champions. Early enrollee Oscar Delp was the nation’s top tight end prospect as a high school senior. This spring, the Bulldogs additionally have Ryland Goede, Brett Seither, Drew Sheehan, Davis Day, and Samuel Johnson in the fold.

wide receivers

running backs

Kenny McIntosh and Kendall Milton are Georgia’s top returning rushers with nearly 600 yards and four touchdowns combined. McIntosh added 242 yards and two touchdowns receiving and even threw a scoring pass in the Capital One Orange Bowl. Daijun Edwards was an effective late-game battering ram, rolling up 210 yards and three scores a year ago. With additional scholarship backs due for fall camp to offset the departures of Zamir White and James Cook, the Bulldogs have spring depth from Sevaughn Clark, Cash Jones, Kurt Knisely, Gleaton Jones, Lorenzo Stephenson, and Tauheed Ferguson.

As a freshman in 2021, Brock Bowers set the UGA record for most TD catches in a single season with 13. He also set school marks for a tight end with 56 catches and 882 receiving yards.

Stetson Bennett capped a storybook 2021 season by leading his team to the national championship, earning Offensive MVP honors in both of Georgia’s College Football Playoff games.

Passing game coordinator Bryan McClendon, who is returning to the Georgia staff after a 6-year gap, inherits a deep and talented room. Ladd McConkey ranked second in catches (31), yards (447), and touchdowns (five) a year ago. Adonai Mitchell followed closely with 29 grabs for 426 yards and four scores, including the go-ahead touchdown in the CFP National Championship Game, while Kearis Jackson had 16 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown. Veterans Dominick Blaylock, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, and Arian Smith continue to improve following injuries, and Arik Gilbert has returned to the team after sitting out last season. This spring, the Bulldogs will get their first evaluations of early enrollees De’Nylon Morrissette and C.J. Smith following stellar prep careers. Georgia also has Jackson Meeks, Mekhi Mews, Steven Peterson, Woody Waters, Logan Johnson, Braxton Hicks, Grant Johnson, Collin Lark, and George Vining on the roster.

offensive linemen

Stacy Searels is back as Georgia’s offensive line coach after an 11year hiatus, and he will use the spring to begin building chemistry in the trenches. The line — which paved the way for 442 total yards and 39 points per game in 2021 — is anchored by the return of starters Sedrick Van Pran at center, Warren Ericson at guard, and Warren McClendon at tackle. Broderick Jones was a spot starter at tackle last year and earned Freshman All-SEC recognition, while Amarius Mims also filled

Jamon Dumas-Johnson rolled up 22 tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown, while Smael Mondon picked up 12 stops. Xavian Sorey logged key plays in a reserve role, and Trezmen Marshall and Rian Davis are returning from season-ending injuries last year. Graham Collins and Cade Brock are back as well. Early enrollees Jalon Walker and C.J. Washington will use spring to get their feet wet.

defensive backs

Jalen Carter had 8.5 tackles for lost yardage as a sophomore in 2021, three of which were QB sacks. He also added 33 QB hurries and blocked two placement kicks: a PAT vs. Kentucky and a field goal vs. Alabama in the CFP Championship Game.

in regularly for the Bulldogs. Tate Ratledge started the opener at guard last year but was lost for the season with an injury. Xavier Truss, Owen Condon, Devin Willock, Austin Blaske, and Chad Lindberg were key reserves a year ago who will look to crack the starting rotation. The Bulldogs also have Micah Morris, Dylan Fairchild, Clay Webb, Jared Wilson, Cameron Kinnie, John Ferguson, Chris Brown, Miles Johnson, and Weston Wallace for camp. Early enrollees Aliou Bah, Earnest Green III, Jacob Hood, and Griffin Scroggs will throw their hats in the ring.

defensive linemen

Projected early round NFL draft picks Jordan Davis and Devonte Wyatt garnered their share of attention a year ago, but Jalen Carter was a gap plugger for the Bulldogs as well. Carter rolled up 37 tackles, including 8.5 for loss, 33 quarterback pressures, and a team-high two blocked kicks. Tramel Walthour and Zion Logue appeared in every game and had 14 and 11 stops, respectively, while Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson each made nine tackles. Georgia also has veteran players in Tymon Mitchell, Bill Norton, Jonathan Jefferson, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Marlin Dean, Tyler Malakius, and Malcolm Brown. Early enrollees Bear Alexander, C.J. Madden, Shone Washington, and Mykel Williams will impact the depth chart as well.

The 2021 title season began with a pick-6 by safety Christopher Smith and ended with a pick-6 by corner Kelee Ringo, and each player is returning for first-year secondary coach Fran Brown for 2022. Smith had 35 tackles and three interceptions, including the only touchdown in the 10-3 opening win against Clemson. Ringo added 34 tackles and two picks, highlighted by the knockout punch against Alabama in the CFP National Championship Game. The Bulldogs also welcome back veterans in Dan Jackson at safety and William Poole at star. Jackson rolled up 40 tackles and blocked a punt, while Poole picked up 14 tackles. Tykee Smith, a 2020 All-American sidelined by injuries last season, will factor into the secondary rotation as he returns. Kamari Lassiter was a reserve in all 15 games a year ago with 11 tackles and an interception. Javon Bullard saw action in 14 contests with 12 stops. David Daniel, Jehlen Cannady, and Nyland Green gained valuable experience as backups. Early enrollees Malaki Starks, JaCorey Thomas, and Daylen Everette will vie for playing time. Georgia additionally has Drew Southern, Patrick Taylor, Matthew Helow, Payton Bowles, Wesley Potter, and Austine Eziukwu.

specialists

Kicker Jack Podlesny was the Bulldogs’ leading scorer a year ago with 137 points. He converted 71-of-72 extra points and 22-of-27 field goals. Georgia also returns Jared Zirkel and Matthew Sumlin at kicker. To replace punter, holder, and kickoff specialist Jake Camarda, the Bulldogs will take a look at early enrollee Brett Thorson of Australia, Noah Jones, and Sumlin. Snappers Payne Walker (placement kicks) and William Mote (punts) are back, along with Jonathan Washburn. McIntosh and Kearis Jackson have experience as kickoff returners, while Jackson, McConkey, and Blaylock have served as punt returners.

outside linebackers

First-year outside linebackers coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe has a veteran presence with Nolan Smith and Robert Beal back. Smith is the Bulldogs’ returning leader in tackles after ranking fifth a year ago with 56. He also registered 27 pressures, nine tackles for loss, a team-high three forced fumbles, an interception, a fumble recovery, and a blocked kick. Beal rolled up 23 stops, including a team-best 6.5 sacks. Chaz Chambliss had 11 tackles and made an impact on special teams, while MJ Sherman posted eight tackles. The Bulldogs also will take a look at Luke Collins, Terrell Foster, and Stephen Erb during spring drills.

Georgia-Oregon Set To Face Off

Georgia and Oregon are set to face off for the first time in 45 years in the 2022 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The game will be played Saturday, Sept. 3. This will mark only the second time the two football programs have met. The one previous meeting resulted in a 27-16 home win for the Bulldogs in 1977. Oregon will be making its first-ever appearance in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, and will be the second Pac-12 team to play in the game. The Ducks will be coached by Dan Lanning in his Oregon debut. Lanning coordinated the past three Georgia defenses in a UGA tenure that spanned five seasons. The 2022 Georgia-Oregon matchup will mark the Bulldogs’ fourth appearance in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. Georgia fell 35-21 to Boise State in 2011 and defeated North Carolina 33-24 in the 2016 contest during Kirby Smart’s debut as head coach. The Bulldogs were also scheduled to face off against Virginia to open the 2020 season in Atlanta, a contest that was later cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s matchup will mark the SEC’s 18th appearance in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, with the league currently boasting a 15-2 record in the game. The teams will battle for The Old Leather Helmet Trophy, one of college football’s newest rivalry-style icons. Traditionally, winners of The Old Leather Helmet don the helmet on the field after the game, starting with the head coach and then rotating from player to player as the team celebrates its victory.

Stetson Bennett Returns As Signal Caller

After helping lead Georgia to the 2021 national championship, senior QB Stetson Bennett returns to the quarterbacks room in 2022. Bennett is 14-3 as a starter, including 11-1 last season. He set the school record for Passing Efficiency at 176.7. Bennett was the Offensive MVP in both the College Football Playoff National Championship win over top-ranked Alabama as well as in the CFP Semifinal Orange Bowl victory over No. 2 Michigan. He directed the Bulldogs to the first undefeated regular season in the SEC (school record 8-0) since 1982.

Getting Defensive

Senior OLB Nolan Smith, redshirt sophomore DB Kelee Ringo and senior S Christopher Smith are the Bulldogs’ three returning starters for last season’s championship season. For the third time in school history, Georgia led the nation in Scoring Defense. The 2021 unit allowed just 10.2 points per game and only 153 total points through 15 games. A number of Georgia defenders will be aiming to play bigger roles in 2022. Returning senior STAR William Poole got the nod in two of the Bulldogs’ three postseason contests and junior S Dan Jackson, junior DL Jalen Carter and senior OLB Robert Beal all started games last year and return. Junior S Tykee Smith and junior ILB Rian Davis also sustained season-ending injuries early in the 2021 campaign and will have an opportunity to help the Bulldogs continue their success on that side of the ball.

New Faces On The Sidelines

The Bulldogs will feature four new on the field coaches. Bryan McClendon, who won an SEC title with Georgia as a receiver in 2005, returns as passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. He most recently held the same spot for Oregon from 2020-21. McClendon was a graduate assistant at UGA in 2007-08 and was the running backs coach from 2009-15. Stacy Searels will be Georgia’s new offensive line coach after serving in the same role for the Bulldogs from 2007-10. He has most recently been North Carolina’s OL coach for the last three years. Another pair of coaches will join UGA for the first time in their careers. Fran Brown was named the defensive backs coach after serving as the secondary coach at Rutgers. Chidera Uzo-Diribe is the Bulldogs’ new outside linebackers coach following a stint in the same position at Texas Christian University.

A Look At The Line

Georgia’s offensive line is slated to return three of five starters after Jamaree Salyer and Justin Shaffer had a combined 50 starts between them and have since moved on for their shots in the NFL. The Bulldogs welcome back redshirt sophomore C Sedrick Van Pran and senior RT Warren McClendon, who each started all 15 games. RG Warren Ericson started the final 14 games of the year after redshirt freshman Tate Ratledge was lost for the season following a foot injury in the opener versus Clemson. Both sophomore Amarius Mims and redshirt sophomore Broderick Jones saw extended looks during Georgia’s national championship run and will be called upon to help fill in the vacancies in 2022. Jones started the final four regular season games last year when Salyer went down with an injury.

Specialists Return

Senior PK Jack Podlesny is back in 2022 for his third season as UGA’s top kicker. Podlesny made 22 of 27 field-goal attempts last year and drilled 71 of 72 PATs. The Bulldogs will be without four-year starter Jake Camarda, who averaged 46.7 yards on 47 punts last season. Camarda’s career mark of 45.8 yards set the UGA record, topping the previous mark set by Drew Butler (45.4). The Bulldog snappers return in senior Payne Walker and junior William Mote. Walker handles the snapping duties on field goals and PATs while Mote is called on for punts. Early enrollee Brett Thorson, a native of Australia, will be vying for the open spot at punter.

Georgia Signs One Of Nation’s Top Classes

For the fifth year in a row, the Bulldogs signed one of the country’s top classes. Georgia added 29 prospects during the December and February signing periods, including 18 early enrollees. The 18 early enrollees are the most that Georgia has had in school history, topping the 16 from 2021. This group started school in January and are working out with the team while they take their first classes at Georgia. DL Keithian “Bear” Alexander (Denton, Texas), OL Aliou Bah (Memphis, Tenn.), WR Dillon Bell (Houston, Texas), OL Drew Bobo (Auburn, Ala.), TE Oscar Delp (Cumming, Ga.), DB Daylen Everette (Norfolk, Va.), OL Earnest Greene III (Los Angeles, Calif.), OL Jacob Hood (Nashville, Tenn.), DB Julian Humphrey (Webster, Texas), OLB Marvin Jones (Sunrise, Fla.), ILB EJ Lightsey (Fitzgerald, Ga.), DE C.J. Madden (Ellenwood, Ga.), DL Christen Miller (Ellenwood, Ga.), WR De’Nylon Morrissette (Stone Mountain, Ga.), RB Andrew Paul (Dallas, Texas), RB Branson Robinson (Canton, Miss.), OL Griffin Scroggs (Grayson, Ga.), DB Jaheim Singletary (Jacksonville, Fla.), WR C.J. Smith (Apopka, Fla.), DE Darris Smith (Baxley, Ga.), WR Cole Speer (Calhoun, Ga.), ATH Malaki Starks (Jefferson, Ga.), QB Gunner Stockton (Tiger, Ga.), DB JaCorey Thomas (Orlando, Fla.), P Brett Thorson (Melbourne, Australia), LB Jalon Walker (Salisbury, N.C.), LB C.J. Washington (Cedartown, Ga.), DT Shone Washington (New Orleans, La.) and DE Mykel Williams (Columbus, Ga.) are the newest Bulldogs.

KIRBY SMART Head Football Coach

2021 College Football Playoff national championship, a 2018 CFP title game appearance, 2017 Southeastern Conference Championship, four SEC Eastern Division titles, 65 wins, and five bowl victories are more than respectable rewards over a six-year period. That’s what Georgia got when it hired former Georgia player and Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart to head the program in December of 2015. His impact, along with a stellar coaching staff, players, and a passionate fan base has put Georgia on the national stage six years running. His 2021 team became UGA’s first national championship team since 1980, the first since 1982 to go undefeated in the SEC regular season, a number one national ranking by all the major polls and the first ever to win 14 games. It marked the fifth straight team to finish the regular season ranked in the top ten of the College Football Playoff rankings. The team set 21 school records, highlighted by the nation’s top-ranked defense. The third ranked Bulldogs defeated #2 Michigan, 34-11, in the Capitol One Orange Bowl in Miami and then No. 1 Alabama, 33-18, in the championship game in Indianapolis. The senior class also set the mark for most career wins by going 45-8. 2020 - The 2020 Bulldogs became Smart’s fourth consecutive team to earn a New Year’s Six bowl game appearance. With a Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl victory over undefeated Cincinnati on Jan. 1, 2021, the Bulldog seniors tied the record for the most wins by one class in school history (44). 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 four-year record of 44-12, matching the school record of 44 wins for a senior class. Georgia defeated three teams in the final Top 15 CFP ranking — Notre Dame, Florida, and Auburn — and finished fourth in the final polls. The Bulldogs capped their season with a dominant victory over Baylor in the Allstate Sugar

In just his second season, Monken was part of a 2021 staff that led the Bulldogs to the College Football Playoff National Championship. Georgia set 21 school single-season records, including Wins, and Games Played, as well as offensive marks for Points Scored, TD’s, Total Yards, TD Passes, and First Downs. QB Stetson Bennett set school marks for Passing Efficiency Rating and Average Gain Per Play. He was named Most Valuable Offensive Player in both of the Bulldogs CFP games. In his first season with the Bulldogs, Monken successfully navigated a number of challenges at the quarterback position. Between opt-outs and injuries, the Bulldogs started three different signal-callers for the first time in 15 years. Despite the challenges, Monken’s offense was part of a 2020 team that earned its fourth straight top-10 finish in the final CFP rankings and fourth consecutive New Year’s Six Bowl game (Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl victory). The 2020 senior class won 44 games—tied for most in school history. Monken, a native of Wheaton, Ill., came to Georgia after serving as offensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns in 2019.

In 2019, Monken directed a Browns offense that was led by former Bulldog standout Nick Chubb, who was second in the NFL with 1,494 yards on 298 carries (5.0 yards/carry) and eight touchdowns. In 2018, he helped the Bucs lead the NFL in passing offense and finish third in the league in total offense. The Buccaneers set numerous club records including total yards, passing yards and passing touchdowns. Wide receiver Mike Evans thrived under Monken’s offense as he earned his first two Pro Bowl selections and topped 1,000 receiving yards in all three seasons. Before turning to the NFL, Monken spent most of 25 seasons in the college ranks, including two separate stints at Oklahoma State and included stops at Eastern Michigan, Louisiana Tech and LSU, ending with a 3-year tenure as head coach at Southern Miss (2013-15). He took over the Golden Eagles program after a 0-12 season. By the end of his third season, USM had posted a 9-5 record and had won the Conference USA West Division title. Monken was a three-year letterman at quarterback for Knox College, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in economics in 1989.

Sept. 4, 2021 • Bank of America Stadium • Charlotte, N.C.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Fifth-ranked Georgia opened its 2021 season with a 10-3 victory over the third-ranked Clemson Tigers before of 74,187 fans at Bank of America Stadium and an ABC nationally-televised audience on Saturday evening. Georgia opened the contest with excellent special teams play as punter Jake Camarda pinned the Tigers deep in their own territory twice. The Georgia defense forced Clemson to back-to-back three-and-outs to open the game, thanks to sacks by junior linebackers Nakobe Dean and Nolan Smith. The ensuing Georgia drive led to a 35-yard field goal attempt by junior placekicker Jack Podlesny. The kick missed wide left. After holding the Tigers to another three-and-out, Will Spiers’ punt deflected off of sophomore running back Kendall Milton. The Tigers recovered the ball at midfield, giving them the first turnover of the game. Five plays later, Bulldog defensive back Christopher Smith snatched an interception and sprinted 74 yards for what became the only touchdown scored by either team. In the Bulldogs’ opening drive of the third quarter, quarterback JT Daniels was picked off by Clemson linebacker Baylon Spector at the Georgia 33-yard line. This marked Clemson’s best starting field position of the game. However, back-to-back sacks on second and third down forced the Tigers out of field goal range. The next Georgia drive was sparked by an explosive 22-yard run from junior tailback Zamir White. Ten plays and 59-yards later, a 22-yard chip shot by Podlesny gave the Bulldogs a 10-0 lead. The Tigers answered with their own 10-play, 82-yard drive to get on the scoreboard, thanks to a 22-yard field goal by B.T. Potter. After going three-and-out, Georgia’s defense stepped up and held Clemson to fourth-and-5 at the Georgia 45-yard line. The Bulldog blitz forced Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei to throw under distress. After a turnover on downs, the Georgia offense found its legs and ran out the last 4:49 on the clock behind its stable of running backs.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I said all along, no matter if we won or lost, we control our own destiny. We always control our own destiny. We have a lot to improve on, especially offensively...We took a hard look (at the defense) in the offseason. We gave up a lot more that we should have. We dumbed some things down and let the kids play and let the kids rush. We give ourselves credit, but give them some credit too. I’m proud of how they played...The joy in the locker room is so pure. They love it and they love each other. This is a special team and they fought their tail off.”

Christopher Smith’s interception and 74-yard TD return highlighted a stellar night by the Georgia defense.

Worth Noting… • With the victory, Georgia improved to 98-27-3 in season openers, including 6-0 under head coach Kirby Smart. The win marked the end of Clemson’s 10-game win streak against SEC opponents in the regular season dating back to 2014. • With the 10-3win, Georgia improved to 11-6 in top-10 matchups under Kirby Smart. This matches Georgia’s highest ranked win under Smart as the Bulldogs defeated No. 2 Oklahoma (54-48 in 2OT) in a CFP semifinal at the 2018 Rose Bowl Game. Georgia’s last win over a top-10 team came to end the 2020 season when the Bulldogs posted a 24-21 win over previously undefeated No. 8 Cincinnati in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The last time Georgia posted back-to-back wins over top-10 teams came during the 2018 season, beating No. 9 Florida, 36-7, in Jacksonville and then No. 9 Kentucky, 34-17, in Lexington to clinch an SEC East Division title. • The seven sacks were the most since a school-record eight in its last game, the 2021 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl win over No. 8 Cincinnati. Georgia also had eight sacks in 2008 Sugar Bowl win over Hawaii. Georgia blanked the Tigers in the first half, and the last time Georgia did that in a game was in the 2020 Sugar Bowl against Baylor when the Bulldogs led, 19-0, and went on to win, 26-14. • The Clemson series dates back to 1897, and with the 10-7 victory, the Bulldogs hold a 43-18-4 advantage including 7-1-1 at neutral sites. The previous neutral site games came in Augusta (Ga.) and Anderson (S.C.) back in the early 1900s. This game was the first meeting when both teams were ranked in the top five. The previous best was in 2013 when No. 8 Clemson beat No. 5 Georgia 38-35 in Clemson. In top-25 matchups, Georgia is now 3-2 against the Tigers. • Georgia had seven first-time starterst: true freshman Ladd McConkey (WR), true freshman Brock Bowers (TE), redshirt freshman Tate Ratledge (RG), redshirt freshman Sedrick Van Pran (C), junior Travon Walker (DE), senior Ameer Speed (CB), plus the first at Georgia for senior transfer Derion Kendrick (CB).

No. 2 Georgia 56, UAB 7

Sept. 11, 2021 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

ATHENS, Ga. - The second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs opened their 2021 home season with a resounding 56-7 victory over UAB before a sellout crowd of 92,746 fans at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on ESPN2 Saturday afternoon. Georgia took little time getting on the scoreboard as Stetson Bennett found wideout Jermaine Burton for a 73-yard touchdown pass on the second play from scrimmage. On their next drive, the Bulldogs added to their margin with a 12yard touchdown pass from Bennett to tailback Kenny McIntosh. UAB neared midfield on their following possession, but its momentum was halted when safety Lewis Cine picked off Ty Johnston at the Georgia 22. Late in the first quarter, Bennett posted his third touchdown when he connected with tight end Brock Bowers on an 89-yard catch-and-run. In the second period, Georgia once again scored on its first play of the drive as Bennett hit wide receiver Arian Smith on a 61-yard deep ball. The Bulldogs’ defense remained stout, continuously forcing the Blazers to punt. After Kearis Jackson’s 33-yard punt return, Georgia extended its lead when Bennett again found Bowers alone in the end zone for a 9-yard touchdown with just over a minute before halftime. The scoring onslaught continued in the third quarter as Cook evaded multiple tacklers for a 14-yard touchdown run. On the next UAB drive, cornerback Kelee Ringo picked off Johnston at the Georgia 40-yard line, leading to a 12yard TD pass from reserve quarterback Carson Beck to wideout Justin Robinson, extending the lead to 49-0. On Georgia’s next drive, the Bulldogs set up firstand-goal at the 2-yard line, but a fumbled snap and missed field goal finished the drive without points. Linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson scored Georgia’s final touchdown of the day on a 20-yard pick-six with 10:14 left. The Blazers returned the favor with 10:14 left, posting their only score of the day, when safety Keondre Swoopes intercepted Beck at the UAB 39 and dashed untouched into the UGA end zone.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I would like to open with thanks to our fans. What a tremendous fan base we have, and they turned out. I thought it was really awesome. Incredible atmosphere to come back and play in. You don’t realize what you got until it’s gone sometimes, so I certainly missed that...We have a lot of young players who are trying to grow up and we thought it would give a calming effect to have (Bennett) in with his experience and his ability to play in games. You know he played really well. I am proud of the way he handled it well...No one has been better to the University of Georgia than Stetson Bennett.”

• For the second straight week, Georgia’s defense did not allow any points through the first three quarters after shutting out No. 3 Clemson in a 10-3 win in Charlotte. This game was the first time since 2019 that Georgia posted back-toback first half shutouts, doing it against Missouri and at Auburn. Georgia would beat Missouri in Athens, 27-0, and the Tigers, 21-14, on the Plains. At 35-0, Georgia posted its biggest halftime lead since a 42-7 advantage over Murray State in 2019. Through two games, Georgia’s opponents have been held to just 10 points, the lowest since 2003 when they had 10. • At the half, Georgia senior starting QB Stetson Bennett was 7-for-8 for 260 yards with a school-record tying and career-high 5 TD passes among his eight completions for a 35-0 lead. He completed his first five passes for 245 yards. Today’s TD passes by him covered 73, 12, 88, 61 and 9 yards. He tied the school record for TD passes in a game when he connected with freshman TE Brock Bowers (3-for-107, 2 TDs) for a nine-yarder. He became the sixth Bulldog with five TD passes in a game, and the first to do it since Aaron Murray vs New Mexico State in 2011, also doing it in the first half. • Georgia registered its 20th score on defense or special teams in the Kirby Smart era (since 2016) when freshman Jamon Dumas-Johnson scored from 20 yards on an INT in the fourth quarter. It was the sixth pick-six in the Smart era including second this season. There have been 17 TDs and three safeties. In games with a non-offensive score by Georgia, the Bulldogs are 17-1 under Smart.

ATHENS, Ga. - Ssecond-ranked Georgia opened Southeastern Conference play with a dominant 40-13 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks before a sellout crowd of 92,746 fans at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium and an ESPN audience on Saturday night. Returning from injury, quarterback JT Daniels connected on a 21-yard pass to tight end Brock Bowers on the first play from scrimmage before tailback James Cook scampered for a 23-yard touchdown. On the ensuing drive, South Carolina used a 61-yard completion to get on the board with a 37-yard field goal. Georgia responded quickly as Daniels hit wide receiver Jermaine Burton for a 43-yard touchdown. Near the end of the first quarter, the Gamecocks struck again with another field goal, set up by an interception thrown by reserve quarterback Stetson Bennett. In the second quarter, Georgia extended its drive with a pair of third-andlong conversions, leading to a 38-yard touchdown pass from Daniels to wideout Adonai Mitchell, the first of the freshman’s career. As the clock neared halftime, the Bulldogs took control of the game with a critical sequence showcasing all three phases of the game. Jake Camarda’s 42-yard punt was downed at the 1-yard line, leading to nose tackle Jordan Davis sacking Gamecock quarterback Luke Doty in the end zone for a safety. After the resulting free kick, the Bulldogs quickly moved into field goal position with kicker Jack Podlesny booting a 36-yarder as the first half clock expired. Cornerback Derion Kendrick intercepted Doty on the first drive of the second half, and Zamir White extended the lead with a 15-yard touchdown run. On the ensuing drive, linebacker Quay Walker recovered a Doty fumble, leading to a 4-yard touchdown pass from Daniels to Cook. In the fourth quarter, the Georgia defense allowed its first touchdown of the season when Doty connected with wide receiver Josh Vann on a 36-yard score. The Gamecocks looked to add another touchdown in the closing minutes, but the Bulldog defense stopped them on fourth-and-goal from the 9-yard line to preserve the 27-point win.

I thought JT played with a high level of confidence, believed in what our guys could do, and got the ball to our playmakers ... Jake (Camarda) made a huge play, and then, the defense made a huge play. Then we were able to save our timeouts, and it was really big to get those pass plays to set up the field goal.

Sept. 25, 2021 • Vanderbilt Stadium • Nashville, Tenn.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs started fast and never abated in a 62-0 victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores before 32,178 fans at Vanderbilt Stadium and a national television audience on the SEC Network. The Georgia defense immediately made its presence known by forcing back-to-back Vanderbilt three-and-outs. On offense, the Bulldogs made quick work as tight end Brock Bowers took an end-around for a 12-yard touchdown before catching a 25-yard touchdown pass on the succeeding Georgia drive. Back-to-back Commodore turnovers led to the Bulldogs’ next two scoring drives. First, wideout Jaylen Johnson forced a fumble on a kickoff, leading to Zamir White punching one in from the goal line. On the very next play from scrimmage, cornerback Christopher Smith recorded his second interception of the year. Two plays later, quarterback JT Daniels found wide receiver Ladd McConkey for a 12-yard touchdown pass, his first career score. After forcing yet another three-and-out, McConkey found the end zone again on a 24-yard endaround run to give the Bulldogs a 35-0 lead just 12 minutes into the game. With the game in safely in hand, the Georgia defense continued to exert its will, with Vanderbilt missing a 49-yard field goal early in the second quarter. After tacking on a field goal just before halftime, the Georgia offense, now led by reserve quarterback Stetson Bennett, added to the final margin with two touchdowns in the third quarter. Bowers tallied his third score of the day with a 29-yard touchdown catch, followed by a 4-yard touchdown run from tailback Kenny McIntosh just under two minutes later. Podlesny made his second field goal of the game from 36 yards out late in the period. In the fourth quarter, running back Daijun Edwards helped the Bulldogs run out the clock, leading to a 15-yard touchdown run with 13 minutes remaining in the game. Later in the period, the Commodores crossed midfield, but the drive was cut short by a interception from cornerback Kamari Lassiter. On the ensuing Vanderbilt possession, the Commodores reached the Georgia 23-yard line, but were stopped on fourth down to consummate the shutout.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I was proud at how fast the guys started. I’m really proud of our fan base. I thought the turnout was incredible, as it normally is when we come up here. Our guys came out and started fast. That was the goal all week. We talked about starting fast and playing to our standard ... It was a tough atmosphere to play in early on, from warm-ups throughout. We talked about it being early, not letting it be an excuse. If you’re going to be elite as a team, you have to be elite all the time, not some of the time. That is how elite teams play. Our guys embraced that and I’m proud of them.”

• Georgia posted its sixth shutout in the Kirby Smart era and the fourth in an SEC game with the 62-0 victory. This marked Georgia’s second biggest margin of victory ever in an SEC game, trailing only a record 75-0 win over Florida in 1942. At halftime, Vanderbilt had 50 yards on 25 plays as the Bulldogs led 38-0. It marked the third time this year that Georgia has blanked a team in the first half. This was Georgia’s first shutout since blanking Missouri 27-0 in 2019. • The 62-point margin of victory was the largest since 2014 when Georgia blanked Troy 66-0. The Bulldogs have won their last three games by at least 27 points, marking the first time they have done that since the 2017 season when they did it six times. • Freshman TE Brock Bowers had four catches for 69 yards with two touchdown receptions, plus one on the ground. Bowers’ first career rushing TD was a 12-yarder on his first career carry while his TD catches covered 25 and 29 yards. He is the second Bulldog to have a rushing and receiving TD in the same game this year, joining James Cook who did it versus South Carolina last week. They were joined by redshirt freshman Ladd McConkey who did it as well in the first half. He notched his first career TD, a 12-yard catch and then his first career rushing TD, a 24-yarder. McConkey ended up with four catches for 62 yards, both career-highs, all coming in the first half.

Oct. 2, 2021 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

ATHENS, Ga. - The second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs used their stifling defense, a powerful run game, and some special teams fireworks to take down eighth-ranked Arkansas before a sold-out crowd of 92,746 spectators and a national television audience on ESPN. Stetson Bennett led his charges on a 9-play, 75-yard scoring drive to start the game. The Bulldogs reached third down just once on the drive, when Zamir White plunged into the end zone from three yards out. On the first Arkansas possession, the Razorbacks committed back-to-back false starts before defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt sacked quarterback K.J. Jefferson on third-and-24. Georgia took over near midfield and used its running game to extend the lead on a 1-yard touchdown from tailback Kendall Milton. The game swung firmly, irreversibly, in Georgia’s favor on the next Arkansas possession. After the Hogs’ offense was stuffed again, safety Dan Jackson blocked a punt in the end zone, which was recovered by White for the third UGA touchdown. The Bulldogs’ remaining first-half points came midway through the second quarter as placekicker Jack Podlesny connected from 46 yards out. On the opening drive of the third quarter, the Georgia defense stopped Arkansas again, whereupon the Bulldog offense ran a 10-play drive that concluded with a 30-yard Podlesny field goal at the 10:05 mark. Early in the fourth quarter, White picked up his third touchdown of the game when he scored on a 15-yard scamper to cap an 11-play, 93-yard drive. On Georgia’s next drive, tailback Kenny McIntosh ran for 15 yards on fourth-and-1 at the Hogs’ 38-yard line. Podlesny capped that drive with a 37-yard field goal that put the Bulldogs up 37-0 with just over three minutes to play. With one final possession, Arkansas looked to avoid the shutout by moving down the field via the legs of running back AJ Green. On second-and-4 with 25 seconds remaining, reserve quarterback Malik Hornsby missed out on a potential touchdown pass to wideout Jaqualyn Crawford. Unable to score, the Razorbacks posted a pair of first-down runs as the clock ran out.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “(Our fanbase) answered the bell today. I think all of you guys will admit that they were elite and we noticed it. To come out there in warmups, and coming out of the tunnel to see every seat full at a noon kick is special. It’s special to be at Georgia, and they impacted the game. The first series for Arkansas on offense, our crowd was extremely disruptive. ... The best teams I’ve ever been around can take on the personality of what they need to take on. I’m really proud of the offensive line. I’m proud of the offensive coaching staff. We did an incredible job game-planning against what is a very good defense.”

The other shutouts of top 10 teams came when No. 6 Georgia blanked No. 10 Alabama 21-0 here in 1976, and in 1942, the No. 5 Bulldogs shut out No. 2 Georgia Tech 34-0 in Athens. • The Bulldogs are now 12-6 against top 10 foes under Kirby Smart including 4-0 at home. Georgia improved to 4-2 when ESPN College GameDay is in town including winning its last four. The Bulldogs are 5-0 under Smart for the third time (2017-19). • With the 37-0 win, No. 2 Georgia now has a 12-4 edge in the series history over Arkansas. This marked the first shutout in the series history and the largest margin of victory with the series going back to the 1969 Sugar Bowl. • After Georgia’s touchdown drive to open the game, former Georgia All-American golfer Harris English was recognized on the field for his contributions in helping the U.S. Ryder Cup team defeat the European squad at Whistling Straits, Wis. During halftime, many of Georgia’s Olympians that competed in Tokyo this summer were celebrated, including swimmers Chase Kalisz and Jay Litherland, who won gold and silver, respectively, in the 400-meter individual medley. Georgia also celebrated its 2021 Circle of Honor inductees: football’s All-American lineman Randy Johnson, legendary women’s basketball coach Andy Landers, NCAA-champion swimmer Robert Margalis and softball All-American Kim Wendland.

No. 2 Georgia 34, No. 18 Auburn 10 Oct. 9, 2021 • Jordan-Hare Stadium • Auburn, Ala.

AUBURN, Ala. - The second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs traveled down to the Plains and left with a 34-10 victory over the 18th-ranked Auburn Tigers in front of a sold-out crowd of 87,451 spectators at Jordan-Hare Stadium and a CBS television audience. Auburn came out fast covering 68 yards on 17 plays, culminating in placekicker Anders Carlson hitting a 24-yard field goal to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead. This marked the first time Georgia has trailed this season, as well as the first points the Georgia defense has given up on the opening drive. After a quick three-and-out by the offense, linebacker Nakobe Dean made the game’s first big play when he intercepted Bo Nix in Auburn territory. Six plays later, placekicker Jack Podlesny hit a 23-yard field goal to tie the game at 3-3. The defense settled down and forced the Tigers to a three-and-out. Georgia responded with a touchdown on a nine-play, 70-yard drive sparked by a 33-yard pass to tight end Brock Bowers, with tailback Zamir White scoring on the ensuing play. On the next Georgia drive, Bennett unloaded on a pass and hit a wideopen McConkey for a 45-yard gain. Three plays later, Bennett found wideout Adonai Mitchell for a 3-yard touchdown to give the Bulldogs a 17-3 lead. With just under two minutes left, Auburn drove the ball down the field to the Georgia 7-yard line. After an offsides penalty, the Tigers eschewed a chipshot kick on 4th-and-goal from the 3. Nix’s pass was then broken up in the end zone by senior defensive back Latavious Brini to preserve the Bulldogs’ 17-3 halftime lead. Georgia opened the second half with a 10-play drive but failed to score when Podlesny’s 43-yard kick hit the upright. The Bulldog defense forced Auburn to turn the ball over on downs for the second time of the night. On the next play from scrimmage, Bennett hit McConkey for a 60-yard pass that put Georgia firmly in control. Despite Auburn responding with a long drive that ended with a 6-yard touchdown run by Tank Bigsby, the Bulldogs tacked on 10 more points on a 21yard field goal and a 10-yard rushing touchdown by White en route to victory.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “What a tough environment to play in. I give a lot of credit to Auburn and their fans. They created an electric environment. For a lot of our players, probably over 50 percent or more, they have never played in a road environment. Two of our DNA traits are composure and toughness, and I thought that has never been more evident than it was today. Composure and toughness. The men in that locker room never doubt and never questioned each other... Stetson played a hell of a game. He made plays with his feet. If you go back to that game, there are one, two, three, four really big plays in the game that he made with his athleticism.”

No. 1 Georgia 30, No. 11 Kentucky 13

Oct. 16, 2021 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

ATHENS, Ga. - The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs posted their seventh conseutive win by defeating previously unbeaten, 11th-ranked Kentucky 30-13 before a sold-out crowd of 92,746 at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium and a national television audience on CBS. After a relatively quiet opening quarter, Georgia took the lead on the first play of the second period. Tailback James Cook scored from 19 yards out on a toss from quarterback Stetson Bennett. On their next possession, the Bulldog offense continued to roll as Kendall Milton ran for 32 yards, followed by a 17yard run from Cook, setting up Zamir White for a 24-yard touchdown run up the middle. Facing a 14-0 deficit, Kentucky assembled a six-minute scoring drive, covering 75 yards in 13 plays. The Wildcats converted three third downs, used a trick play and benefited from a lost fumble that was overturned upon review. Will Levis connected with Justin Rigg from one yard out for the UK touchdown. Early in the third quarter, Georgia extended the lead when Bennett found tight end Brock Bowers for a 27-yard touchdown pass. The Bulldogs continued the scoring on their next drive as place kicker Jack Podlesny hit a 26-yard field goal. Trailing 24-7, Kentucky’s only serious threat in the third quarter came in the waning minutes. The Wildcats took possession at their own 45 and advanced to the Bulldog 15-yard line before stalling. Georgia stopped the threat when Devonte Wyatt deflected Chance Poore’s field-goal attempt from 33 yards as the quarter came to a close. The Bennett-Bowers connection helped put the game out of reach on Georgia’s only possession of the fourth quarter. Bowers took a pass 24 yards to the UK 48-yard line. After a pair of James Cook runs to the Cats’ 20, Bennett found Bowers again for the Bulldogs’ final tally. Kentucky maintained possession for nearly all of the remaining 11+ minutes, using 22 plays to cover 75 yards. The Wildcats successfully converted five third downs and a fourth down in the drive and, after using their last time out, they finally scored on a 1-yard pass from Levis to Wandale Robinson with just :04 left. Jalen Carter then punctuated the drive by blocking the Cats’ PAT kick.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I’m proud of our guys today. That was a really physical football team we played. Every single time we play them, it’s just tough...I thought our DNA showed through. Our DNA continues to repeatedly show up - composure, connection, resiliency, and toughness - those qualities come through in this team. At halftime, nobody was panicking, nobody was nervous...I think (Todd Monken) has done an incredible job. When you think about the guy he’s had in, he’s taken tight ends, made them multiple, he’s taken wideouts that weren’t necessarily early season starters and done a really good job.”

He picked up his fifth receiving TD, a 27-yarder from Bennett for a 21-7 lead with 12:13 left in the 3rd. His sixth score came on a 20-yard pass in the fourth quarter and tied the mark for most TD catches by a TE in school history dating back to at least 1968 (Leonard Pope, 6 in 2004). • Georgia missed a PAT in the fourth quarter to end its school and NCAA record for consecutive PATs made at 363. It dated back to Oct. 4, 2014 and included six kickers. With 221 makes, Virginia Tech is now the nation’s leader. • The Homecoming King and Queen were fourth year students Carter Marks (St. Simons Island, Management and Economics major) and senior Carley Hale (Atlanta, Exercise & Sports Science major).

No. 1 Georgia 34, Florida 7

Oct. 30, 2021 • TIAA Bank Field • Jacksonville, Fla.

ATHENS, Ga. - The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs used a 21-point burst before halftime to post a decisive 34-7 victory over the Florida Gators before 76,141 spectators at TIAA Bank Field and a CBS television audience. Georgia moved quickly on its opening drive following a 31-yard kickoff return from Kearis Jackson, reaching the Florida 19-yard line but Stetson Bennett was flagged for intentional grounding on third-and-1, followed by a missed 46-yard field goal by Jack Podlesny. Like the Bulldogs before, the Gators did not score on a deep drive as Jace Christmann’s 51-yard attempt missed. As the second quarter opened, the Georgia offense came to life starting with a 12-yard completion from Bennett to Jackson, eventually entering the red zone on a 20-yard scamper from Bennett to the 7-yard line. However, another stall forced the Bulldogs to settle for a 21-yard Podlesny field goal. On the ensuing Florida drive, a combined sack by Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis led to a fourth down stop at the Georgia 40. Taking over at the Florida 34, Bennett found Darnell Washington for a 32yard completion, but on the subsequent play, Bennett’s deep ball was picked off by Rashad Torrence at the 4-yard line. With Florida near its goal line, the Georgia defense stepped up as Nolan Smith stripped Anthony Richardson and set the Bulldogs up at the 11-yard line. In one play, Georgia capitalized as James Cook rushed for a touchdown to make the score 10-0. On the next drive, Smith notched another turnover as he picked off Richardson’s pass off the deflection by Travon Walker. Georgia again took just one play to convert as Bennett hit Jackson for a falling, 36-yard touchdown in the left corner of the end zone. The scoring barrage concluded when Nakobe Dean picked off Richardson and returned it for a 50-yard touchdown. Georgia’s first possession of the third quarter ended in a fumble, but Christmann missed from 23 yards out. The Gators again reached Bulldog territory to open the fourth quarter but were again stifled as Nakobe Dean broke up Jones’ fourth-down pass. Bennett was picked off for the second time by Torrence at the Florida 11. The Gators would avoid the shutout with an Emory Jones touchdown before Zamir White scored a late 42-yard touchdown.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “There was great excitement, great energy. Our fans really impacted the game. They helped us get them for a few offsides. The turnovers were the difference in the game. We had a few, too, but theirs were in their territory, and that was probably the biggest difference in the game ... (Stetson Bennett) does a really good job on some plays, and then you are holding your breath when he holds the ball. He has to make good decisions down the field. We can’t give the ball away ... That momentum right before the half was just huge. It is what our guys do - they are havoc guys that cause problems, frustrate the quarterback, and try to find different ways to affect them.”

No. 1 Georgia 43, Missouri 6

Nov. 6, 2021 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

ATHENS, Ga. - The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs again rode their stout defense to a 43-6 victory over the Missouri Tigers before a sold-out 92,746 spectators at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium and a national television audience on ESPN. Missouri struck first with a 36-yard field goal, marking only the second time this season Georgia had trailed. On the ensuing drive, the Bulldogs faced a fourth-and-6 at the Tigers’ 35-yard line, allowing quarterback Stetson Bennett to find wideout Arian Smith in the corner of the end zone for a go-ahead touchdown. Linebacker Nolan Smith added to the points with a blocked punt on the following drive, with the ball rolling out for a safety before safety Dan Jackson could recover for a touchdown. Soon after, Bennett hit receiver Jermaine Burton for a 46-yard completion to the 1-yard line, leading to tailback Zamir White taking it in to extend the first quarter lead. After stopping the Tigers on fourth down, Georgia’s offense continued to roll with Bennett making a long completion to tailback Kenny McIntosh and tight end Brock Bowers taking a screen pass to the 2-yard line, setting up a 20yard Jack Podlesny field goal. The second half closed with tailback James Cook taking a direct snap from the 1, once again set up by a near touchdown by Burton. Burton finally got his score on the first drive of the second half, taking it in from 12 yards out on a screen pass. With a comfortable 33-3 lead, quarterback JT Daniels returned to the huddle for the first time since the Vanderbilt game on Sept. 25, completing a 7-yard touchdown to wideout Ladd McConkey on his first possession. Following a tipped interception from Daniels, Missouri added another field goal from 42 yards midway through the fourth quarter, with Podlesny answering on the following drive with a 25-yard make. With just over two minutes remaining, the Tigers sought to narrow the final margin and looked capable of doing so as Tyler Macon found Tauskie Dove for leaping catches of 31 and 28 yards respectively. However, the Georgia defense remained strong at the line with a goal-line stand that kept Missouri in single digits to close the game.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “We started out kind of sloppy today. A little bit of a lack of focus early, especially on defense. Offensively, it took us a while to get going, but once we did, we did some nice things. I was proud of the guys. We’re starting to get some guys back, and then we lost a couple of guys who are banged up. All in all, pleased with the guys’ effort, but we have some things we have to clean up...(Missouri) played the same defense they’ve been playing. The played a little better, they changed out a couple of guys personnel-wise, but they didn’t change their defense by any means.”

No. 1 Georgia 41, Tennessee 17

Nov. 13, 2021 • Neyland Stadium • Knoxville, Tenn.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs rode a career-best day from running back James Cook to a 41-17 victory over Tennessee in front of 100,074 fans at Neyland Stadium and a national television audience on CBS. Tennessee quickly moved down the field on its opening drive, using a pass interference penalty to set up a 9-yard touchdown pass from Hendon Hooker to Velus Jones, Jr. Georgia responded similarly on the ensuing possession, needing just six plays to go 78 yards for the matching score. Cook sprinted 39 yards untouched, first up the middle before cutting down the left sideline, for the touchdown. After UT nudged ahead with a field goal, Georgia proceeded to take control with its dominant defense and resourceful offense. By the time the Bulldogs had scored the last of 34 straight points, just seven minutes remained in the game. In the second quarter, Georgia began to assert itself, beginning with a 40yard field goal by Jack Podlesny, followed by a interception by Derion Kendrick on the next Tennessee drive. Taking over at the Tennessee 40, Cook brought Georgia into the red zone with a 15-yard rush, followed by a 9-yard scoring run by Bennett. The quarter concluded with an 11-play, 90-yard drive capped off by a 23-yard touchdown pass from Bennett to Cook. On their first drive of the second half, the Volunteers again traveled deep into Bulldog territory, but pressure from Nolan Smith forced an incompletion on fourth down. The Bulldogs regained possession and appeared to stall near midfield, but a horse collar penalty on Tennessee kept the drive going and allowed Podlesny to extend the lead with a 26-yard kick. Tennessee’s next drive mirrored its previous possessions, as Hooker was sacked by Channing Tindall on fourthand-13 at the Georgia 39-yard line. Early in the fourth quarter, Cook added his third touchdown of the game with a 5-yard run, set up by a 21-yard completion from Bennett to Jermaine Burton. Once again, Tennessee entered the red zone, but Hooker was sacked by Tindall, forcing a fumble recovered by Travon Walker. The Bulldogs finished their scoring with a 5-yard run by Kenny McIntosh, followed by a 12-yard Tennessee touchdown pass from Joe Milton to Cedric Tillman.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “Hats off to Tennessee. I think they’ve got a really good football team. I think Josh (Heupel) is doing a great job...I can’t say enough about the leaders on this team. After that game against Missouri, to have three guys stand up in the locker room after we won 43-6, they said it wasn’t acceptable the way we approached the game or the way we handled the game. I knew right then that we were going to be okay this week... There are a lot of things we can work on to get better. You know what I love? It’s the men in that locker room beside me. They all know that. Nobody thinks they’ve arrived.”

Worth Noting… • With the 41-17 victory, top-ranked Georgia posted a perfect 8-0 mark in the league for the first time in school history. The average margin of victory in these games was 31.9 points. Georgia now has completed league play undefeated eight times, and this is the first 8-0 mark since the SEC split into divisions in 1992. This is the third time that Georgia has gone 6-0 in the SEC East under Kirby Smart. Since 2017, Georgia is 27-2 against the East. Georgia is now 10-0 for the first time since 1982 when it went 11-0. The Bulldogs also started out 10-0 in 1980 and 1946. The 2011 team began the year 0-2 and then won 10 straight games to close out the regular season. • Georgia opponents have scored just 76 points, and that tally through 10 games is the lowest in a season at this point since 1950 when it allowed 58. • Stetson Bennett directed an 11-play, 90-yard drive in 3:05 to make it 24-10 with 37 seconds left in the first half. It was Georgia’s fourth 11-play drive of the year, which ties a season-high. The others came against USC (90), Arkansas (93) and Missouri (75). • Georgia now leads the Tennessee series 26-23-2 including 5-1 under Kirby Smart. James Cook tied his career high with 104 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with a 23-yard scoring reception.

No. 1 Georgia 56, Charleston Southern 7

Nov. 20, 2021 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens, Ga.

ATHENS, Ga. - The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1982 with a 56-7 victory over Charleston Southern before a soldout crowd of 92,746 at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium and an SEC Network+ streaming audience. Georgia got the opening kickoff and on its first play from scrimmage, running back Zamir White ran up the left side for a 38-yard gain. The promising drive ended when quarterback Stetson Bennett’s pass was tipped and intercepted. On the next drive at the 2-yard line, defensive tackle Jordan Davis shifted into the backfield and took the handoff from Bennett, only to have his lunge stopped at the one. Georgia went back with the same play on second down and Davis was able to reach across the goal line for the touchdown. A few minutes later, running back Kenny McIntosh found the left edge on a fourth-down reception to the outside and sprinted away from everyone on a 32-yard touchdown run with 5:33 left in the first quarter. On Georgia’s next offensive play, after a quick three-and-out forced by the defense, White ran 40 yards up the left side for a touchdown and a 21-0 lead. Georgia’s defense again got a quick stop and the offense again delivered with a screen from Bennett to tight end Brock Bowers, who eluded two defenders and leaped into the end zone. Cook kept the scoring going early in the second quarter, running the ball in to cap an eight-play drive. JT Daniels entered at quarterback and connected with Bowers on a 7-yard TD reception. Late in the second, sophomore running back Daijun Ewards ran the ball in from the 4 to put the Bulldogs up 49-0. Charleston Southern got on the scoreboard in the third quarter in improbable fashion. The Bucs were facing third-and-6 from their 35-yard line when linebacker Xavian Sorey intercepted a pass. Sorey then was stripped of the ball at the 35 by Garris Schwarting, who rumbled 65 yards for the return score, making it 49-7. The Bulldogs added one last touchdown on their next drive, with Carson Beck throwing a 9-yard pass to tight end Brett Seither.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “Today is a day to honor (our seniors). One of the coolest atmospheres I’ve ever been a part of in terms of honoring the seniors...We had a really short message and talked about our book and what we’re writing and what the next chapter would hold. And I told them, I wanted them to name the next chapter because I didn’t want it to be a boring or monotonous chapter...There were probably about 10 or 15 walk-ons that had never played a snap. And some of them have probably taken somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 reps on our practice fields and they got to play a snap because of the effort of the guys that played to our standard.”

There have been nine other teams to register at least 11 wins in a season in school history (1942; 1971; 2002; 2003; 2007; 2012; 2017; 2018 and 2019). • Georgia owns the nation’s longest active winning streak in the FBS as it improves to 15 games. This is tied for second longest in school history as the Bulldogs also won 15 straight contests from 1941-42 and 1979-81. The school record is 17 games set during a three-year stretch from 1945-47. • Georgia tied a school record with 49 points in a half, matching the mark set in 2011 against New Mexico State and in 1994 against Northeast Louisiana, all doing it in the first half. Georgia posted 368 yards of total offense 43 plays. Six different Bulldogs scored a touchdown in the first half. • Senior nose tackle Jordan Davis had first two career carries for two yards including a 1-yard plunge for his first TD and a 7-0 lead.

No. 1 Georgia 45, Georgia Tech 0

Nov. 27, 2021 • Bobby Dodd Stadium • Atlanta, Ga.

ATLANTA - The top-ranked University of Georgia football team completed its first unbeaten regular season since 1982 with a 45-0 victory over rival Georgia Tech Saturday afternoon before 52,806 spectators at Bobby Dodd Stadium and an ABC national television audience. After forcing a three-and-out on Tech’s first drive, Kearis Jackson set Georgia up with a 22-yard punt return to the Tech 36-yard line, but the Bulldogs had to settle for a 38-yard field goal from Jack Podlesny. On the following Georgia drive, the Bulldogs broke into the end zone as Stetson Bennett found Jermaine Burton for a 25-yard touchdown. As the opening period came to a close, Bennett moved the Bulldogs into Tech territory with a 30-yard completion to Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, followed by a 15-yard catch and run from Zamir White. Now in the second, Georgia extended the lead as Ladd McConkey took in a screen pass from 11 yards out for a touchdown, assisted by a block from Bowers. The freshman tight end earned a score of his own on the following possession, taking a slant 10 yards downfield and outracing the Jackets’ secondary for a 77-yard score. Georgia Tech maintained possession for much of the second quarter, moving into Georgia territory on a 12-play drive lasting just under eight minutes, but the Bulldog defense forced a punt. Following Georgia’s first three-and-out of the afternoon, Tech looked to finally reach the scoreboard, but consistent pressure from Nolan Smith kept the score at 24-0. The Georgia offense continued to roll into the second half, benefitting from a third down pass interference penalty at the Tech 39-yard line. The nine-play, 75-yard drive concluded with a 9-yard touchdown catch by Bowers in the corner of the end zone. The Yellow Jackets again crossed midfield, but a pair of false starts stalled their drive. Taking over at their own 33-yard line, the Bulldogs wasted no time adding to the lead as McIntosh ran for a 59-yard touchdown. On the ensuing Tech drive, Jamon Dumas-Johnson’s sack led to a turnover on downs early in the fourth quarter. Starting near midfield, Daijun Edwards took it in from three yards out, making the score 45-0.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I thought our guys started fast. We challenged them to start fast. I was pleased with no penalties. We had some sloppy series offensively and defensively, but overall, they came out and executed to a standard. They didn’t play to the scoreboard, they played to our standard and I was proud of what they were able to do...I’m just proud of the work that George has put in to get back. We’ve known guys on the team who have had ACLs, it’s a mental injury as much as it’s a physical injury”

Georgia extends the nation’s longest active winning streak in the FBS to 16 games. This streak ranks as the second longest in school history. The Bulldog record is 17 games set during a three-year stretch from 1945-47. Georgia’s current winning streak includes nine on the road which is a school record. Also today, Georgia did not have a penalty for the first time since the 2019 win here versus Tech. • Top-ranked Georgia, the national leader in Scoring Defense (7.5 ppg), posted its third shutout this year to retain the Governor’s Cup Trophy. It was the first in the Tech series since 1964 (7-0 in Athens) and the first in Atlanta since 1957 (7-0). Tech became the seventh team this year to be shutout in the first half by the Bulldogs. Then, for the sixth time this year, Georgia carried a shutout to the fourth quarter. • Georgia tallied 45 points today on 463 yards of total offense on 51 plays. In the first half, Georgia built a 24-0 lead. For the year, the Bulldogs have outscored their opponents 488-83. • The captains were seniors Jamaree Salyer (OL), Justin Shaffer (OL) and Lewis Cine (DB).

Dec. 4, 2021 • Mercedes-Benz Stadium • Atlanta, Ga.

ATLANTA – Top-ranked Georgia suffered its first loss of the season, falling 41-24 to the Alabama Crimson Tide at the 2021 SEC Championship Game before 78,030 spectators at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and a CBS national television audience. Following a pair of defensive stops, Georgia drove to the Alabama 11yard line with strong runs before settling for a 38-yard field goal from Jack Podlesny. On their next possession, the Bulldogs steadily moved down the field before a 37-yard strike from Stetson Bennett to George Pickens, setting up a 5-yard touchdown throw to Darnell Washington for a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter. Alabama then woke up on offense, beginning with a 67-yard touchdown from Bryce Young to Jameson Williams less than a minute after the Georgia score. The Crimson Tide followed it up with a 13-yard touchdown catch by John Metchie and a 33-yard Will Reichard field goal. On a penalty-filled drive, the Bulldogs tied the score at 17 with a 32-yard catch-and-run by Ladd McConkey. However, Young scored from 11 yards out just before halftime to retake the lead. The Crimson Tide again struck from the air to start the second half as Young found Williams for a 55-yard touchdown, marking five consecutive Alabama possessions with a score. Georgia reached the Alabama 19 midway through the third quarter, but Bennett was intercepted by DeMarcco Hellams. Georgia again reached the 19-yard line late in the third quarter, but turned the ball over on downs, followed by a 42-yard pick six by Jordan Battle to make the score 38-17 with 12 minutes remaining. In the fourth quarter, Brock Bowers completed a record-setting performance with an 18-yard touchdown, eventually setting new records for catches and yards receiving by a tight end in the SEC title game. With less than two minutes remaining, Reichard closed the scoring with a 41-yard field goal as Alabama sealed the championship victory.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I’m disappointed in how we played. Give Alabama a lot of credit. Give their defense and Bryce Young and their offensive skill players a lot of credit. They played really well, very accurate, explosive, and he’s hard to get down on the ground, which caused us a lot of problems defensively...They did a good job of stopping us twice. One of them, we went for it, where we probably could’ve had points. But at that point, I felt like we needed touchdowns and not field goals...These guys are so solid .We’ve got such great leaders in there...I think when you’ve got that, you’ve built the right kind of kids.”

Darnell Washington gave Georgia a 10-0 lead in the second quarter with his first touchdown catch of the season.

• With the 41-24 loss to third-ranked Alabama, the top-ranked Bulldogs drop to 3-6 in SEC Championship games including 1-3 in the Kirby Smart era and now 0-2 against Alabama, who leads the all-time series, 42-25-4. Georgia saw its FBS-leading 16-game winning streak end including a school record nine-game winning streak in road games. The 16-game streak was the second longest in school history. Georgia’s run as the unanimous top-ranked team will end at eight weeks, also a school record. • Top-ranked Georgia came in as the national leader in Scoring Defense (6.9 ppg) and then saw Alabama tally 24 points in the second quarter and 41 for the game on 536 yards of total offense on 70 plays. Alabama was averaging 42.7 ppg. Coming in, Georgia had allowed only seven points total in the second quarter, and the previous most total points allowed in a game this year was 17 by UT in Knoxville. Before today, Georgia’s first 12 opponents had scored just 83 points. • Georgia’s leading receiver was freshman Brock Bowers (10-for-139 yards, 1 TD) who tied the school record for TD catches with his 11th this year (split end Terrence Edwards had 11 in 2002) as it covered 18 yards and closed the deficit to 38-24. He notched his fourth career game of 100+ yards receiving and set SEC Championship Game record for catches and yards by a tight end. Bowers is the first Bulldog to have at least 10 catches in a game since George Pickens against Baylor (12 for 175) in the 2020 Sugar Bowl.

Dec. 31, 2021 • Hard Rock Stadium • Miami Gardens, Fla.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The third-seeded Georgia Bulldogs rode an early offensive burst and a resurgent defense to a 34-11 victory over second-seeded Michigan in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the 2021 Capital One Orange Bowl before 66,839 spectators at Hard Rock Stadium and an ESPN national television audience. Georgia opened with the ball and moved quickly down the field as quarterback Stetson Bennett connected with tight end Brock Bowers for a 35-yard completion, followed four plays later by a 9-yard touchdown catch. After turning Michigan over on downs, the Bulldogs again wasted little time as tailback Kenny McIntosh took a Bennett handoff and lofted a touchdown pass to wideout Adonai Mitchell from 18 yards out for an early 14-0 lead. On its third possession, Georgia added to the margin with a 43-yard field goal from placekicker Jack Podlesny. In need of points, Michigan reached the Georgia red zone before a Nakobe Dean sack forced a 36-yard field goal from Jake Moody. The Bulldogs tacked on another 28-yard field goal from Podlesny before delivering the knockout punch on a 57-yard touchdown pass from Bennett down the sideline to wideout Jermaine Burton. On the ensuing possession, cornerback Derion Kendrick picked off Wolverine starter Cade McNamara. On the opening drive of the third quarter, Kendrick again picked off McNamara, this time in the Michigan end zone. The Georgia defense again struck on the following possession as Dean forced a fumble by Michigan tailback Blake Corum that was recovered by Devonte Wyatt. The Bulldogs were unable to convert as Podlesny missed from 45 yards out. In the fourth quarter, Georgia closed out its scoring for the evening as Bennett hit James Cook for a 39-yard touchdown. After earlier reaching the Georgia 5-yard line before turning over on downs, Michigan finally scored a touchdown as J.J. McCarthy found Andrel Anthony on a 35-yard deep ball, followed a successful two-point conversion run by A.J. Henning. The Bulldogs ran out the remainder of the clock as they reached the Michigan 11-yard line.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “I’m really proud of our players and the whole organization. Our staff put a plan together and our players bought into that plan. We came out from the very start and executed that...One word for us: connection. Our kids know if we stay connected and really work hard, we’re hard to beat. We’ve been really focused and concentrated the last couple of weeks. When we’re connected, we’re better...Our defensive front controlled the line of scrimmage and our offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage. It was a complete team effort.”

• Georgia entered as the national leader in Scoring Defense at 9.5 points per game while Michigan was averaging 37.7 points per game. Michigan tallied 328 yards on 63 plays. Georgia leads the nation in Red Zone Defense, and Michigan was just 1-for-3 including a fourth down stop at the UGA 6 in the fourth quarter. Opponents have made 28 trips this year and 12 times have come away with no points. • Derion Kendrick’s two interceptions tied a Bulldog bowl record held by seven others. This was the first two-interception game by a Bulldog since Richard LeCounte versus Arkansas in 2020. Kendrick had a strong CFP semifinal performance while at Clemson versus Ohio State in a 2019 Fiesta Bowl win, tallying nine tackles and two pass breakups. • Georgia made its fourth appearance in the Orange Bowl, and the first since 1960 when it blanked Missouri 14-0. The Bulldogs are now 3-1 in Orange Bowls. Georgia’s first-ever bowl game was the 1942 Orange Bowl where the No. 20 Bulldogs defeated No. 14 TCU 40-26 to cap a 9-1-1 season. Georgia made its 25 consecutive appearance in a bowl game, which is the nation’s longest active streak. Overall, the Bulldogs have played in 58 bowl games and own a mark of 34-21-3. Georgia is now 2-1 versus Michigan with the other two meetings coming during the regular season in Ann Arbor in 1957 and 1965. • Georgia’s senior class now improves to 44-8, and that ties for the most wins by a senior class, joining the 2005, 2018 and 2020 teams. Also, Georgia became only the third team in school history to win a record 13 games in a year, joining the 2002 and 2017 squads.

No. 3 Georgia 33, No. 1 Alabama 18 Jan. 10, 2022 • Lucas Oil Stadium • Indianapolis, Ind.

INDIANAPOLIS – Third-ranked Georgia defeated the top-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide, 33-18, in the 2022 College Football Playoff Championship Game before a crowd of 68,311 at Lucas Oil Stadium and a national audience on ESPN. The victory ended a championship drought for the Georgia program that had reached 41 years. Alabama opened with the ball and moved into Georgia territory before settling for a 37-yard field goal. The Georgia offense, meanwhile, took much of the first quarter to find its footing before Stetson Bennett connected with George Pickens for a 52-yard completion. The play led to the Bulldogs’ first field goal of the night, a 24-yarder by Jack Podlesny early in the second period. Alabama tacked on two more second-quarter field goals as the Georgia defense held firm in the red zone. With three minutes left before halftime, Podlesny narrowed the margin with a season-long 49-yard field goal. After intermission Georgia forced the first of two Alabama turnovers as Christopher Smith picked off Bryce Young, but the offense was unable to capitalize. Momentum swung on the next possession, when Alabama reached the Georgia 30-yard line before Jalen Carter blocked a 48-yard field goal attempt. On the next play, James Cook ran 67 yards to the Bama 13, setting up Zamir White’s 1-yard touchdown plunge with 1:20 left in the quarter. Alabama answered by kicking its fourth field goal of the night to get within 13-12. The Crimson Tide then capitalized on a Georgia fumble by scoring their only touchdown of the game just 90 seconds later. Trailing 18-13, Georgia drove 75 yards in just four plays to reclaim the lead, this time for keeps. Bennett found Adonai Mitchell in the end zone from 40 yards out for the score. After the Bulldog defense forced a punt, Georgia then marched 47 yards on six straight running plays (and a pass interference penalty). On 3rd-and-1 from the Bama 15, Bennett faked another run into the line and threw left to Brock Bowers, who sprinted into the end zone to give Georgia an 26-18 lead with 3:33 left. Alabama responded by driving across midfield in the final minutes. Young, however, underthrew a third-down pass and the Bulldogs’ Kelee Ringo intercepted at the UGA 21. Escorted by a convoy of blockers, Ringo streaked his way downfield for the clinching touchdown, sending Georgia fans everywhere into celebrations.

Coach Kirby Smart said… “Just so proud of our players. Somebody told me you’re not playing for the 41 years that we haven’t won a national title, you’re playing for the men in the room, and that really touched me because that’s what it was all about was those guys in the room ... We wanted to affect Bryce, and we felt like if we could get off the field on third down, we’d be fresher and we’d have a chance to rush better. I though Coach (Dan) Lanning, Tray Scott, and (Glenn) Schumann did a tremendous job putting the plan together, but the players carried it out. We really focused on playing man-to-man and doing it better than they did it.”

Worth Noting…

Kelee Ringo’s late interception and 79-yard return for a TD put an exclamation mark upon Georgia’s first national title since 1980.

• The MVPs of the game were senior quarterback Stetson Bennett on offense and junior safety Lewis Cine on defense. Bennett was the Offensive MVP of the Capital One Orange Bowl as well. Georgia snapped a seven-game losing streak in the series with Alabama and head coach Kirby Smart notched his first win over the Crimson Tide in five tries. The Bulldogs complete the season with a 14-1 record, the most wins in a season in school history. Georgia has won titles in 1942, 1980 and 2021. • With the national title win over top-ranked Alabama, Georgia’s senior class set the school record for most wins going 45-8. • Redshirt freshman Kelee Ringo had a 79-yard interception return for a touchdown to put Georgia in front 32-18 with 54 seconds left. It was Ringo’s second interception and the fourth pick-six by the defense this season. It was the first pick-six since Nakobe Dean went 50 yards for a score in the rout of Florida this year. Ringo’s pick-six was the longest in a CFP National Championship Game. It was the 25th score by the defense or special teams in the Smart era, and Georgia is 22-1 when they tally a non-offensive score in a game. • The Georgia captains for the championship game were Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, Jamaree Salyer and Zamir White
