Talk about just what
the doctor ordered.
Georgia steamrolled
the Commodores
for a second straight season,
improving to 7-0 on the season.
There was no drama, with the
exception of a near miss wouldbe
long touchdown strike by
the Commodores with Georgia
leading 7-0. Vandy chose twice
not to come to Athens in 2020.
The Bulldogs blew the ‘Dores away
62-0 in Nashville en route to the
2021 national title. The last two
years, that’s 117-0 in the Dogs
favor.
McIntosh scored a pair of first
quarter touchdowns on an 11-yard
third-down pass from Bennett
and on a seven yard run. Edwards
scored in the second quarter and
Bennett found Dominick Blaylock
for a 10-yard touchdown to make
it 28-0 at the half. Podlesny kicked
a pair of third quarter field goals
and Carson Beck threw two fourth
quarter touchdown passes. Cash
Jones struck paydirt from 36 yards
out to provide the final margin.
Georgia’s defense was
overwhelming. The Bulldogs held
Vanderbilt to 45 yards on 23 carries
with a long run of eight yards. A
pair of Commodore quarterbacks
went 12 of 24 for 105 yards, 4.4
yards per attempt. Georgia was
now 7-0 with an open date to
come. There was a little time to
catch your breath and get ready
for the gauntlet that would follow.
Florida, Tennessee and then at
Mississippi State and Kentucky,
then the Jackets, what a stretch for
the champions.
