2020 CFB season countdown: 39 days until Georgia football

Join us as we count down the days until Georgia is scheduled to kick off in Atlanta!

Just because Virginia will not be playing Georgia on Sept. 7 doesn’t mean the Bulldogs won’t be facing anyone in Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Kick Off game. Therefore, we are keeping to our original countdown.

There are 39 days until Georgia is scheduled to kick off in Atlanta.

Former Georgia defensive back, No. 39, Corey Moore (2011-2014) appeared in 50 games over his career in Athens. From Griffin, Georgia, the former 4-star recruit was rated as the No. 4 safety in the 2011 recruiting class. At Georgia, Moore totaled 76 tackles, 2 interceptions, three pass breakups and one sack and was a defensive leader of Georgia’s 2014 team that finished 10-3.

Moore went undrafted in 2014, but signed with the NFL’s  Houston Texans in 2015 where he played three seasons before playing for the Indianapolis Colts in 2018. Moore is currently a member of the Ottawa Redblacks of the CFL.

Dawgs in the XFL: Week 1 recap

A look at every former Georgia football players performances in the XFL for week one.

Sunday afternoon marked the first weekend without NFL football since the Super Bowl last week.  What is typically a brutally barren day for all football fans, this year was a little bit different.

Saturday and Sunday featured two XFL games each, providing football fans with their weekend fix.  This was the first weekend of XFL football since their original season in 2001.

On Sunday the matchup between the Tampa Bay Vipers and the New York Guardians featured four former Bulldogs.

The Vipers featured three former Dawgs, including defensive back Corey Moore, long snapper Nick Moore and the Bulldogs all-time leading passer, quarterback Aaron Murray.

The Guardians featured former Georgia nose tackle Toby Johnson.

The Guardians beat the Vipers by a score of 23-3, leaving Murray looking a little bit rusty since his last season playing for the Atlanta Legends in the AAF.

Murray finished the game completing 47 percent of his 34 passes for 231 yards, 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.  Not the best start for the Dawgs all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns but to Murray’s defense he hasn’t played all that much organized football in the past few years.

Moore, Moore and Murray will be in Seattle next week as the Vipers are playing at the Dragons while the Guardians will be in Washington D.C. facing the Defenders.

On Sunday, multiple former Georgia football players will make their XFL debut.

From New York, the Tampa Bay Vipers visit the New York Guardians at 2pm. The game is airing on FOX.

Former Georgia nose tackle Toby Johnson plays for New York. He will be going up against Tampa’s former Bulldogs, QB Aaron Murray, DB Corey Moore and LS Nick Moore.

Murray is indeed starting at quarterback for Tampa, where he grew up. In his preview game interviews, the Georgia record-setter sounded very exciting to start this new chapter of his career.

The league, which is owned by WWE majority owner Vince McMahon, consists of eight teams with 52 players each.

Best of luck to these former Dawgs.

Tampa Bay:

Murray returns home to Tampa to play for the Vipers. After breaking numerous SEC and Georgia records, Murray attempted to play in the NFL, where he did not find much success. He then went on to work for CBS as a broadcaster in addition to playing a single season for the Atlanta Legends, a member of the Alliance of American Football in 2019.

Corey Moore is a former Georgia safety who was undrafted in 2015 but went on to have a nice NFL career, playing for the Texans from 2015-17 and the Colts in 2019. He finished his NFL career with 72 tackles, 5 passes defended and an interception. I would not be surprised if he made a return to the NFL shortly.

Long snapper Nick Moore hails from Brookwood High School in Snellville, Georgia. He came to Georgia in 2015 as a Mark Richt recruit after spending being drafted by the Red Sox and playing four years of minor league baseball. Moore, from 2015-18, played in 23 games for the Dawgs. He was given an opportunity by the New Orleans Saints but was unable to earn a roster spot.

New York Guardians:

Former Georgia nose tackle Toby Johnson (6’4 350lb) will be playing for New York, after spending four years in the NFL playing for six teams. Last year, Johnson played for the Massachusetts Pirates of the National Arena League.
