Georgia football is set to kick off versus UAB this Saturday in the home opener. Gametime is set for 3:30 p.m. and Sanford Stadium will be packed full for the first time since the 2019 season.
UAB is coming off a 31-0 win over Jacksonville State . The 2020 Conference USA champions are led by senior quarterback Tyler Johnson, who was efficient in the season opener, completing 17 of 21 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns.
On the other side, the Bulldogs are dealing with multiple injuries, including star quarterback J.T. Daniels, who is reportedly nursing a core injury. Redshirt freshman Carson Beck is the likely replacement incase Daniels isn’t able to go.
Georgia’s defense is more than capable of handling a bigger role and they proved that in week-one, allowing just two yards rushing, three points and seven sacks to a high-powered Clemson offense.
Here’s five reasons why Georgia secures a win on Saturday afternoon.
