Georgia vs. UAB: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Saturday

Everything you need to know as Georgia takes on UAB…

Georgia football sits at No. 1 in the AP Poll and 3-0 on the season ahead of a non-conference matchup with the UAB Blazers (1-2) on Saturday.

The Bulldogs are coming off of a scare last week versus the South Carolina Gamecocks in Athens. Georgia was down 14-3 at the half before storming back with 21 unanswered points to secure a 24-14 win in the first SEC matchup of the season.

UAB, led by Super Bowl winning quarterback Trent Dilfer, is coming off of two-straight losses to Louisiana Lafayette and Georgia Southern, giving up a total of 90 points over that span.

Georgia is a 42-point favorite, per BetMGM. This should be a chance for the Bulldogs to get things in check before traveling to Auburn for the first SEC road game of the season.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:

  • Date: Saturday, Sept. 23
  • Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
  • TV Channel: ESPN2

Updated Georgia injury report ahead of UGA vs. UAB

Full Georgia injury report ahead of UAB matchup…

The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs are dealing with an extensive list of injuries headed into their Week 4 matchup with UAB.

Starting wide receiver Ladd McConkey (back) has yet to take a snap this season. Running backs Kendall Milton (MCL) and Roderick Robinson (ankle) both left last week’s game with injuries and did not return. Starting right tackle Amarius Mims (ankle) also exited the South Carolina game.

Numerous other Bulldogs are working their way back to the field.

Here’s our updated Georgia injury report, including recent quotes from head coach Kirby Smart.

Stetson Bennett announced as Georgia’s starting QB vs UAB

Stetson Bennett announced as starting QB

With JT Daniels nursing a minor oblique injury, Georgia will turn to a former starter to lead the Dawgs on Saturday against UAB.

UGA announced that Stetson Bennett will start at quarterback rather than redshirt freshman Carson Beck, who many expected to get the nod.

Bennett started five games for the Dawgs in 2020. Bennett had some up and down performances. He was a steadying presence in Georgia’s season opener against Arkansas.

Last year, Bennett completed 55% of his passes. Bennett contributed 10 total touchdowns and threw six interceptions. He threw for 1,179 passing yards on the season and looked particularly sharp against the Auburn Tigers.

Bennett arrived in Athens as a lightly recruited three-star prospect. He redshirted in 2017, while playing scout team quarterback. He then transferred to Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Mississippi. He helped Jones County win their conference, scoring 20 total touchdowns and accumulating almost 2,000 total yards in the process.

Following his junior college season, Bennett transferred back to the University of Georgia and enrolled for the spring semester of 2019.

Georgia vs UAB: Score, stats predictions

Score and stat predictions for UGA football players for today’s Georgia vs UAB game.

No. 2 Georgia takes on UAB today in its home-opener.

The Bulldogs are fresh off a 10-3 win over Clemson, and UAB over Jacksonville State.

UAB has had an 11 day break since its cupcake win over Jacksonville State compared to Georgia’s seven day break after an absolute slugfest against Clemson.

Georgia should obviously win this game, but I do expect it to be a little bit closer than most anticipate. UAB is legit – the Blazers have won its division three straight years and the CUSA title two out of those three years.

Georgia will likely be playing without quarterback JT Daniels, so the Dawgs will already be at a disadvantage.

With all that mind, here’s our score and stats predictions for the game:

Score: Georgia wins 41-3

OFFENSE:

QB Carson Beck stats — if he starts: 19/28, 242 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT

QB Stetson Bennet stats — if he starts: 16/24, 234 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs

RB Zamir White: 14 carries, 112 yards, 1 TD

RB Kendall Milton: 11 carries, 79 yards, 1 TD

RB Kenny McIntosh: 7 carries, 41 yards

RB James Cook: 4 carries, 12 yards. 3 catches, 42 yards, 1 TD

WR Jermaine Burton: 6 catches, 77 yards, 2 TDs

TE Brock Bowers: 3 catches, 33 yards

Offensive MVP: Zamir White

DEFENSE:

Total sacks: 4

Interceptions: 2

DEFENSIVE MVP: Jordan Davis

Georgia football is set to kick off against UAB this Saturday in the home opener. Gametime is set for 3:30 p.m. and DawgNation will be packed in to a full-capacity Sanford Stadium for the first time since 2019.

Here’s what UAB media is saying about Georgia.

5 reasons why Georgia beats UAB

UAB comes to Athens as defending Conference USA champions to take on a Georgia team coming off of a top-5 win in week one. Here’s 5 reasons why the Dawgs leave with the win.

Georgia football is set to kick off versus UAB this Saturday in the home opener. Gametime is set for 3:30 p.m. and Sanford Stadium will be packed full for the first time since the 2019 season.

UAB is coming off a 31-0 win over Jacksonville State . The 2020 Conference USA champions are led by senior quarterback Tyler Johnson, who was efficient in the season opener, completing 17 of 21 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns.

On the other side, the Bulldogs are dealing with multiple injuries, including star quarterback J.T. Daniels, who is reportedly nursing a core injury. Redshirt freshman Carson Beck is the likely replacement incase Daniels isn’t able to go.

Georgia’s defense is more than capable of handling a bigger role and they proved that in week-one, allowing just two yards rushing, three points and seven sacks to a high-powered Clemson offense.

Here’s five reasons why Georgia secures a win on Saturday afternoon.

Georgia vs UAB: 5 reasons why Blazers could keep it close

Georgia vs UAB: 5 reasons why Blazers could keep it close

Georgia is the No. 2 ranked team in America after beating Clemson 10-3 in Charlotte last weekend.

The Georgia defense looked incredible on Saturday, holding the Tigers to just two rushing yards and recording seven sacks and a defensive touchdown on the night.

Offensively, there were some struggles. But it’s important to note that Clemson has the best defense Georgia will likely face all year. It’s also important to note that Georgia was not totally incapable of moving the ball like Clemson was. But there were some concerns.

Georgia now shifts its focus to UAB, its Week 2 opponent. That game is slated for 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 from Athens.

The Blazers are fresh off a 31-0 win over Jacksonville State, a game they played on Wednesday Sept. 1.

Georgia will win this game, probably by a convincing margin. But here are a few reasons UAB might actually be able to keep things close on Saturday.
