The Twitter world reacts to Florida jumping Georgia in the polls, following Week 1 matchups.

The Florida Gators jumped the Georgia Bulldogs in this week’s Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Here’s how the Twitter world reacted to the changes:

Game recap: Georgia fights back, beats Arkansas 37-10

Here’s the recap of Georgia’s win over Arkansas. We talk about the UGA quarterbacks and list some key stats of the game too!

Georgia recovers from an early deficit and beats Arkansas in Fayetteville 37-10.

Redshirt freshman quarterback D’Wan Mathis started out the game at quarterback but struggled, prompting Georgia to turn to junior Stetson Bennett with USC transfer J.T. Daniels in question with a knee injury.

Bennett showed poise and led Georgia back from a five-point deficit, creating his own buzz in the Bulldog quarterback competition.

As far as the revamped offensive line, the Bulldogs’ front recovered from a slow start and began to push their way around the field.

Defensively, Georgia had a field-day. The Bulldogs racked up three interceptions, two by preseason All-American safety Richard LeCounte and stifled the Razorbacks’ ground game, allowing 77 rushing yards.

Here are the key stat lines from Georgia’s opener:

QB D’Wan Mathis : 8-17, 55 yards, 1 INT

QB Stetson Bennett: 20-29, 211 yards, 2 TD
RB Zamir White: 13 carries, 71 yards, 1 TD
WR Kearis  Jackson: 6 rec, 62 yards
UGA total offensive yards: 387 / Arkansas – 280
UGA passing yards: 266 / Arkansas – 203
UGA penalies : 12 for 108 yards / Arkansas – 10 for 53 yards

 

Watch: Zamir White scores his first tocudhown of the season in 3rd quarter vs Arkansas

This Georgia offense has finally come to life. The Bulldogs now lead 34-10 over Arkansas due to this run by redshirt freshman phenom Zamir White.

Watch it here:

Those cuts made by White are reminiscent of a D’Andre Swift or Todd Gurley.

So glad to see him healthy and running with conviction after fighting back from multiple knee injuries in his young career.

Let’s hope to see more runs like this moving forward, this offensive line is really getting some push now.

Richard LeCounte gets his second interception on the day, bringing Georgia’s total to three.

Eric Stokes had a pick-six on Feleipe Franks just a few plays prior to LeCounte’s second pick.  Franks now is 17/33 for 190 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

Georgia leads 27-10.

Kirby Smart must have been a sight to see in the Georgia locker room during halftime because a fire was lit underneath the Bulldogs.

Following back-to-back touchdowns by George Pickens and John Fitzpatrick, Eric Stokes picked off Arkansas quarterback Feleipe Franks for a touchdown.

Zamir White run sets up Georgia’s first touchdown of 2020

Watch this clutch Georgia run that set up the first UGA touchdown of 2020!

After an awful start, the Georgia offense is finally on the board against Arkansas due to a great throw and catch between junior quarterback Stetson Bennett and star receiver George Pickens.

They can thank this run by redshirt freshman phenom Zamir White:

We are finally seeing the Bulldog offensive line create space for White and sophomore James Cook.

Let’s hope Bennett continues to show the poise he has and maybe hand a few more off like this to Zeus!

George Pickens scores go-ahead Georgia TD, Stetson Bennett converts for 2 points

Georgia goes up three on Arkansas as Stetson Bennett connects with George Pickens on a 19-yard touchdown, converting the 2-point attempt.

The Dawgs lead for the first time this game against Arkansas following a 19-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett to George Pickens.

Pickens now had 4 receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown.

The Dawgs went for two on the point after attempt where Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett made an amazing effort, stretching for the pylon and putting his team up three.  This is a massive momentum swing that Georgia fans can be happy about.

Undisciplined football results in halftime deficit for Georgia

Georgias football has been penalized over and over again and finds itself losing against Arkansas.

Face-masks, horse-collars, running into the punters, pass interference, holdings, etc. You name it, Georgia’s been penalized for it.

The Bulldogs find themselves trailing Arkansas 7-5 in week one of the 2020 college football season. Aside from a poor offensive showing, penalties are the main cause of Georgia’s halftime deficit.

The defense, though it’s allowed just 7 points, has been playing undisciplined football. So has the offense.

Georgia was penalized 11 times for 98 yards in the first half. If the game ended right now, the Dawgs may still finish as one of the top-five most penalized teams in America so far.

On offense, new offensive coordinator Todd Monken’s system has been less than impressive. Joining Monken on the list of personnel who have been terribly underwhelming is quarterback D’Wan Mathis, who started the first quarter and struggled to do just about anything. Stetson Bennett came in in the second quarter, and, well, I’m not all that impressed by his showing either.

Defensively, we’ve looked fine despite the penalties.

Georgia has a lot of work to do.

Georgia’s defense scores first points of 2020 season with safety vs Arkansas

Georgia has scored its first points of the 2020 season but not by a Zamir White run or George Pickens catch. UGA’s defense came through with a safety early in the second quarter to cut the Arkansas lead to 5. Watch it here: …

Watch it here:

Redshirt freshman D’Wan Mathis has had a rough time so far and running back Zamir White only had two touches in the first quarter – we are going to need a lot more of this Bulldog offense to compete for the College Football Playoff.
