Georgia vs South Carolina Game Preview

Why Georgia Will Win

Seriously, what quarterback is playing better right now than Stetson Bennett?

USC’s Caleb Williams, but that’s about it.

Bennett was fantastic against Oregon, he kept it all going in the scrimmage against Samford, and the offense hasn’t had a blip so far.

South Carolina hasn’t been bad so far against the pass because it’s getting hammered on the ground. Georgia State was able to average five yards per carry, and Arkansas powered for close to 300 yards and five scores in last week’s 44-30 win.

Georgia hasn’t cranked up the ground game quite yet, but it might not need to. Arkansas QB KJ Jefferson hit 18-of-21 throws on the Gamecocks, and Bennett might do the same.

CFN Expert Picks, Week 3

Why South Carolina Will Win

South Carolina is going to fire away.

Spencer Rattler has hardly been perfect with three interceptions to go along with his two touchdown passes, but he’s got the arm, the talent, and the upside to get hot for a stretch and push the Georgia secondary deep.

To get very, very nitpicky, as great as Georgia has been over the first two games, there’s only been one sack and not a whole lot happening behind the line. It hasn’t had to turn everyone loose, but Rattler might be deadly if he gets time to work.

Week 3 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

There might not be anything splashy or sensational coming from Georgia, but it’ll get the job done with a balanced attack and a few good scoring drives to overcome a few big energy moments from the home team.

There will be stretches when Rattler is fantastic, the USC D holds up, and it seems like there might be something big happening. And then Georgia will methodically end that narrative.

South Carolina is having a huge problem on third downs on both sides of the ball. That, and not being able to win the turnover margin, will keep it from having a real shot at pulling this off.

2 Georgia Bulldogs earn SEC honors for South Carolina performance

Nolan Smith and Adonai Mitchell have earned weekly SEC awards for their performance versus South Carolina on Saturday night. Details here…

Georgia football’s dominant 40-13 performance versus South Carolina did not go unnoticed as two Bulldogs have earned weekly SEC honors.

Junior outside linebacker Nolan Smith has been named SEC Defensive Player of the Week and receiver Adonai Mitchell has been named SEC Freshman of the Week.

Smith racked up eight tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and this strip-sack, which resulted in a South Carolina turnover.

Mitchell caught a career-high four passes for 77 yards and his first career touchdown.

Seeing Mitchell step up in the absence of star receivers George Pickens and Dominick Blaylock is huge for Georgia as they enter the meat of the SEC schedule.

On the other side, Smith has waited his turn behind eventual NFL draft picks and is showing why the former five-star recruit is going to be an absolute problem for opposing defenses this year. Smith already has 12 tackles and 2.5 sacks through three games.

No. 2 Georgia takes on Vanderbilt (0-3) Saturday in Nashville at noon.

USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll released: Where is Georgia after week 3?

Georgia dominated South Carolina, Alabama struggled with Florida. Where did the Bulldogs land in this week’s coaches poll?

Georgia dominated South Carolina 40-13 in the SEC opener on Saturday night. The Gamecocks’ only touchdown came in garbage time with backups on the field.

Quarterback J.T. Daniels made his return from a core injury and looked great, completing 23 of 31 passes for 303 yards with three touchdowns and an interception.

The Bulldogs’ defense looked just as good as advertised. If it weren’t for that late South Carolina touchdown in the sea of Georgia reserve players, UGA still wouldn’t have allowed a score this season.

Georgia recorded three sacks, one interception and a forced fumble in the win in Athens.

It’s reasonable to think the Bulldogs’ deserve a shot at the No. 1 spot in the country due to win over Clemson and the dominant performance versus South Carolina on top of Alabama’s struggle with Florida in Gainesville.

Dawg fans will have to wait, though, as the top-four remain the same headed into week-four.

Kirby Smart explains giving Stetson Bennett playing time vs South Carolina

Georgia football HC Kirby Smart explains decision to give backup quarterback Stetson Bennett playing time vs South Carolina

Georgia fans – and really anybody who was watching Saturday night’s Georgia vs South Carolina game – were scratching their heads when UGA quarterback Stetson Bennett checked into the contest.

The Bulldogs’ offense was grooving with Daniels under center. He had missed the previous game against UAB due to a core injury, and was now playing lights out in his first game back.

Georgia had scored on its first two drives and things were rolling.

Then backup passer Stetson Bennett entered the game. Bennett had a really nice showing against UAB the week prior, throwing five touchdowns. But on his first play against the Gamecocks, he threw an interception that gave South Carolina great field position at the 12 yard line of Georgia.

It was, well, odd. Nobody understood why Kirby Smart would insert Bennett when Daniels, a potential Heisman candidate, was finally finding his rhythm for the first time this season.

“We thought Stetson really practiced well and he and JT rolled all week,” Smart said on his decision. “We told them, I guess it was Thursday or Friday, we called them in and said, ‘Hey look, you’re both going to play. We think JT is healthy enough to go but we’re going to play you, Stetson.’”

Well, that makes a little more sense. But still, not sure what’s up with that decision. Like I said, you have a potential Heisman finalist rolling early in the game. Why sideline him, even if just for a drive?

I’m no coach, but this whole wishy-washy quarterback rotation just does not seem like the best move going forward.

Find your man (JT Daniels) and stick to it.
