The Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Mississippi State Bulldogs 31-24 thanks to several key performances. Quarterback JT Daniels had a career day in the victory. Daniels was money on third down and showed incredible accuracy on deep passes.
The SEC named JT Daniels as the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. He’s sharing the award with Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who set a conference record for receiving touchdowns in a career against Kentucky.
JT Daniels threw for 401 yards and four touchdowns in the win over Mississippi State. It was an impressive debut performance and he’ll start again this week against South Carolina.
Daniels completed almost half of his passing yardage to wide receiver Jermaine Burton, who hauled in two touchdown passes. Burton’s 197 receiving yards helped him win the SEC Freshman of the Week award.
Burton consistently found openings in the secondary and had the best game of his young career. Burton has been open much of the season, but the ball hasn’t found him often enough. JT Daniels and Burton have nice chemistry and all of a sudden Georgia’s passing offense looks quite formidable.
Now, Georgia must work to put together a more complete game this weekend against a South Carolina team without fired head coach Will Muschamp and several key players.
