ATLANTA — The defending national champions looked the part in Oregon's 2022 season opener Saturday, as Georgia returned to the field for the first time since January's College Football Playoff championship and beat the Ducks, 49-3, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The UO football team's first game under new head coach Dan Lanning went inauspiciously, with Georgia scoring on each of its first seven possessions while the Ducks turned it over twice in the first half. The Ducks were held to their lowest point total in a season opener since 1982, and their lowest total in a game since 2017.
