Georgia Football did a whooping 56-7 win over the Blazers at UAB on Saturday afternoon, but it wasn't the defense that left the shutout.
Even though the offense delivered an outstanding performance for 99% of the game, he allowed the team's only offensive touchdown all season. Although it wasn't the defining moment in the game, it still stings.
The Bulldogs' defense, on the other hand, had yet to drop an offensive touchdown through two games, proving why they are the best defensive unit in the country.
That group remained tough and even got another pick-six during the fourth quarter to give them a second chance of the year, as Jamon Dumas-Johnson intercepted it and drove it 20 yards for the final score of the game. carried away.
It doesn't matter if the players on the field start first, have second or third stringers, walk-ons, or anything in between. They dominate from top to bottom.
Doug's defense is not to blame for those seven points. Georgia's offense dropped a touchdown before defending. If that doesn't tell you about how good that side of the ball is, I don't know what will. Carson Beck made a suspicious throw and a UAB defender picked it up and took it home.
Beck didn't even try to follow him. While he was jogging in the field, there was no fire under him to throw the pick. He should have tried to knock him down and tried to stop him from scoring. However, they didn't, and it is what it is.
Aside from that mistake, Georgia's crime put on a show. Stetson Bennett started for the Dogs and went 10/12 for 288 yards and five touchdowns. He was one point away from breaking the school record, but was joined by five other Dogs, including Aaron Murray, who last scored five touchdowns against New Mexico State in 2011.
Brock Bowers led the team with three catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns, including an 88-yard score that was the longest from the Dogs' scrimmage since 2013. He showed up and is going to be an absolute force. Along with people like Darnell Washington and George Pickens, Bowers has quickly emerged as a favorite.
On the ground, the Dogs pounded the rock 38 times for 163 yards. The offensive line gave Bennett plenty of time to bowl but struggled to get the push he needed in the run game. Eight different men ran the ball against the Blazers, with Zamir White covering 34 yards. James Cook scored the only rushing touchdown in the third quarter.
Georgia's offense found something explosive with Bennett under center, and it was spectacular to see him hang 49 points on the Blazers.
However, I can't get away from what that defense has done in the last two weeks. For all we know, he shone against Clemson and continued against the Blazers. Even though Georgia dropped 118 yards on the ground, she dropped just 47 yards through the air and recorded three interceptions.
Kelly Ringo caught an interception, Dumas-Johnson caught one, and Lewis Caine got the first in the ball game. Those were just three of Havoc's plays. He caught a few more sacks and also tackled for the loss. Havoc plays are impressive through two games, and I hope they continue to make it into the SEC game.
The Bulldogs allowed the Blazers to convert 1-11 of 11 third downs, which is absolutely unbelievable. He took the Blazers off the field and let the offense work.
