Checking on Georgia football transfers after Week 4

Taking a look at how Georgia transfers are performing following Week 4

The Georgia Bulldogs have a lot more players that transfer away from the football program than transfer into it. Why is that?

A large number of Georgia players are unable to get as much playing time as they’d prefer. Additionally, some players want to transfer closer to home or to somewhere that will give them a full scholarship. Georgia has had several walk-on players that have transferred to other programs and earned much bigger roles with their new teams.

Let’s take a look at how several former Georgia Bulldogs performed through the first four weeks of the 2022 college football season.

Twitter reacts: Georgia Tech fires head coach Geoff Collins

Georgia Tech fired head coach Geoff Collins. UGA football outscored Tech 107-7 in Collins’ two career games against Georgia.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have fired head coach Geoff Collins. Collins went 10-28 during four seasons as the head coach at Georgia Tech.

Collins notably changed Georgia Tech’s offensive system from the triple option to a more traditional scheme. Georgia Tech was outscored 107-7 in Collins’ two career games against in-state rival Georgia.

Collins and Georgia Tech did not enter the 2022 college football season with much momentum. The Yellow Jackets lost six straight games to end the 2021 college football season and were outscored 100-0 in their final two games.

The final straw came when Georgia Tech lost 27-10 at UCF on Sept. 24. Geoff Collins inherited a tough situation and Georgia Tech and had a positive mindset, but it was not enough to overcome the numerous obstacles he faced.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Collins’ firing:

The Georgia Bulldogs made a case to be ranked as the top team in the country after dominating the Oregon Ducks

The Georgia Bulldogs made a case to be ranked as the No. 1 team in the country after blowing out the Oregon Ducks 49-3. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs picked up where they left off last season.

Georgia’s starting quarterback, Stetson Bennett, showed immense confidence and looked in control of the UGA offense. Bennett finished with three total touchdowns.

The Georgia defense held Oregon out of the end zone and intercepted a pair of Bo Nix passes. True freshman defensive back Malaki Starks had a spectacular interception of Nix. Veteran safety Christopher Smith intercepted Bo Nix too. Unfortunately, Smith went down with an injury in the second half.

The team collectively played very well. Georgia’s offense scored touchdowns on its first seven drives and made seven consecutive third down conversions to start the game. The offense was extremely efficient and averaged 9.2 yards per play in the dominant victory.

Here’s how Georgia football Twitter reacted to the big win:
