It’s No. 2 Georgia versus No. 8 Arkansas in a top-10 matchup in Athens this Saturday.
The Bulldogs (4-0) look to keep the winning-streak alive against the Razorbacks, who started the season unranked and have boosted themselves into SEC contention with big underdog wins over Texas and Texas A&M.
Two of the top teams in the nation square off Between the Hedges.

Georgia is getting a couple of key players back this week for the matchup with Arkansas.
No. 2 Georgia has played without some of its key players so far this season, but the Bulldogs look to get a couple of those stars back for the top-10 matchup with Arkansas this Saturday.
After his second game back from an oblique injury, star quarterback J.T. Daniels is once again on our injury report. Daniels made his return versus South Carolina after missing the UAB and then started in last week’s blowout victory over Vanderbilt. What we didn’t find out until Monday, is that the junior signal-caller had been dealing with a lat injury, which is still bothering him this week.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart is optimistic about Daniels’ status, though, and we should see him make his 4th start of the year against the Razorbacks.
Receiver Kearis Jackson has returned to full-speed after recovering from a knee procedure in fall camp. The leading pass catcher from a year ago only returned punts versus Clemson and UAB but was back at receiver against South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
Fellow wideout Arian Smith missed last week’s game due to a bone contusion (bruise), but is expected to be available this week.
Smart updated the status of both tight end Darnell Washington and defensive back Tykee Smith in a press conference on Monday. Both stars have been cleared and were a ‘full go’ at practice this week. Smart said he expects both to take the field on Saturday.
Receiver Dominick Blaylock , who after working his way back from an ACL tear suffered last year, had a setback last week with a tweaked hamstring. Smart said this week that Blaylock is still working his way back.
Star wideout George Pickens is rehabbing an ACL tear suffered in the spring. The junior was seen straight-line and running and catching passes at practice the last two weeks, signaling his recovery is on pace.
LSU transfer Arik Gilbert is still not with the team due to personal reasons.
Here’s an updated injury report for Saturday’s big matchup in Athens.

Here’s five reasons why the Bulldogs take down the Razorbacks Between the Hedges.

Sam Pittman leaving Georgia for Arkansas is a big blow for Kirby Smart and UGA football.
Georgia offensive line coach Sam Pittman accepted the position of head coach at Arkansas over the weekend, piling on to what was already a sad few days for Bulldog fans.
For Pittman, it’s a heck of an upgrade, though. To go from offensive line coach to head coach at another SEC school is not something that you see often.
There’s no arguing that losing Pittman won’t hurt the Bulldogs. People may say that we’ll be fine, which we will, but the loss of Pittman will be noticeable. The guy is a recruiting mastermind and did something never seen before in Rivals’ recruiting history, according to Nikki Chavanelle, who covers Arkansas for Rivals.
Sam Pittman has done something never before seen in Rivals history at Georgia. He has five OL commits all ranked in the Rivals250.

You don’t just replace that kind of recruiting.
While at Georgia, Pittman put an emphasis on size.
Georgia’s entire line this season weighs in heavier than the average NFL offensive lineman (314.8 lbs) and allowed just 12 sacks all season.
Whoever replaces Pittman will be fortunate to inherit arguably the best returning offensive line in college football next season, but it’s hard to imagine there is anybody out there who reel in the big-hitters that Pittman did on a consistent basis each year.
For 2020, Pittman is the No. 3 ranked recruiter in all of college football, according to 247Sports’ recruiter rankings.
The other thing Pittman emphasized was depth. And this season at Georgia, the Dawgs had a group of second-stringers who could start just about anywhere in the country. And thank God we did.
Injuries happen on the line. A high volume of 300+ men in a congested space. Yeah, injuries will happen.
But Pittman prepared for that, and that’s why we were so deep at offensive line. Whoever we hire next as offensive line coach, if there’s one thing I hope he focuses on its depth.
In Pittman, Arkansas gets more than a great recruiter and teacher. They also get some of the greatest videos to ever hit social media.
I’ll miss a lot about Pittman, but none more than these classics.
End of an era
