It wasn’t pretty.
And it wasn’t without costs.
But the Georgia Bulldogs remained undefeated by shaking off a slow start, finding ways to score and doing enough on defense to sink the Commodores 37-20.
Looking at the stat sheet alone you’s think UGA fans would be thrilled. The Bulldogs exploded for 552 yards of total offense. They converted a solid 11 of 16 3rd downs and held a decisive 37:19/22:41 time of possession advantage.
But those numbers obscured some legitimate issues. Among them was another dreaded slow start, as the ‘Dawgs surrendered a 48 yard touchdown pass on a busted coverage to open the game then promptly suffered a Carson Beck fumble on their first offensive series.
