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
