Five-star Georgia Bulldogs football commitment Brock Vandagriff is putting up some gaudy passing stats at the high school level. In fact, with his first half performance alone against Athens Christian, Brock Vandagriff threw for more passing yards than the entire team of Georgia has thrown for since halftime against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Oct. 17.
Prince Avenue quarterback Brock Vandagriff threw for 346 yards and five touchdowns in the first half alone against Athens Christian. Comparatively, Georgia has thrown for only 335 total yards since halftime of the Alabama game and the Bulldogs have five total touchdown passes since Jalen Carter hauled in a touchdown catch in the fourth quarter against Tennessee.
Vandagriff and JT Daniels, who is expected to start versus Mississippi State, give Georgia Bulldogs fans hope for the future of the quarterback position in Athens. It’s been a tough season for quarterbacks Stetson Bennett and D’Wan Mathis. The duo didn’t get too much support from the defense in key games against Florida and Alabama.
Regardless of the defensive performances, in the era of high-flying passing attacks Georgia must improve on offense. The Bulldogs saw both Mac Jones and Kyle Trask throw for over 400 yards on them. The University of Georgia threw for 112 passing yards against Florida, 131 passing yards against Kentucky, and 92 passing yards in the second half against Alabama. That’s not going to get the job done versus SEC competition.
A game-changing quarterback like Brock Vandagriff will help the UGA offense become more potent. For now, Georgia fans should sit tight and see how JT Daniels does in his first career start. Georgia has a lot of talent coming in with the class of 2021 and should be able to reload once again.
JT Daniels, Stetson Bennett, and D’Wan Mathis still need to prove themselves in the upcoming weeks. Which one of them will be the biggest competitor for Vandagriff next year?
Half: Prince Avenue 35, Athens Christian 3.
Recap: Vandagriff with 346 yards and 5 TD passes. https://t.co/L8zLgiP3xA
