Watch: JT Daniels shows he’s back with a TD bomb to Jermaine Burton

JT Daniels is dealing against South Carolina right now…

No. 2 Georgia has taken an early 14-3 lead over South Carolina in Athens.

First it was a 23 yard touchdown by junior running back James Cook on the Bulldogs first possession and next, a 43 yard touchdown pass from quarterback J.T. Daniels to wideout Jermaine Burton.

That’s two scores on two possessions and I know it’s only mid-way through the first quarter, but Daniels is back and looks to be just fine coming off a core injury that caused him to miss last week against UAB.

All three of Georgia’s captains were with the team in 2019, when the Dawgs lost to South Carolina in a double-overtime defeat. In 2019, the Gamecocks upset a heavily-favored Georgia team in Athens. It is a memory that still haunts numerous players on Georgia’s roster.

The Georgia football Twitter account dropped a South Carolina game hype video narrated by Richard Appleby. Appleby, is a key figure in Georgia football history. He focuses on the team, commitment to each other, improvement, and the importance of leaving a legacy in the trailer for UGA’s SEC opener.

Larry West, Horace King, Clarence Pope, Chuck Kinnebrew and Richard Appleby were the first African-American players at Georgia in 1971. The Bulldogs had an extremely successful 1971 season going 11-1. These players helped blaze the trail for later generations.

Georgia injury report ahead of UGA vs South Carolina

Georgia is once again dealing with multiple injuries ahead of kickoff. Here’s an updated injury report for Saturday night’s matchup vs. South Carolina.

UGA takes on South Carolina this Saturday night in the SEC opener.

It hasn’t all been peaches and cream for No. 2 Georgia. The injury bug has bitten the Bulldogs early and often so far this season.

This week Georgia lost reserve inside linebacker Rian Davis to a knee injury suffered in practice. Davis underwent successful surgery and is expected to be out for the year.

Star quarterback J.T. Daniels is still nursing a core injuryΒ that could keep him sidelined for a second game. Coach Kirby Smart did say on Wednesday that Daniels feels the best he has and his recovery is moving in the right direction.

Daniels did split first-team reps with backup Stetson Bennett in practice this week. Knowing Smart, we won’t find out who will start under center until Saturday.

On the outside, star receiver Dominick Blaylock is close to taking the field after working his way back from an ACL tear suffered last year. Smart said Blaylock is almost 100% but it’s a ‘confidence thing’ for the redshirt sophomore.

Kearis Jackson, the leading pass catcher a year ago, only returned punts against Clemson and UAB but should be back to catching passes soon. We could see both Blaylock and Jackson back versus South Carolina.

Fellow wideout George Pickens is rehabbing an ACL tear suffered in the spring, and LSU transfer Arik Gilbert is still not with the team due to personal reasons.

Tight end Darnell Washington and defensive back Tykee Smith are both out of their walking boots this week after undergoing foot surgeries a month ago. Smart said both have performed weighted running, indicating a return to the field sometime in the coming weeks.

Here’s an updated injury report for Saturday night:

South Carolina College Football Preview 2021: Offense

It wasn’t a fun year.Β The offense stalled after a promising start and ended up averaging just 355 yards and 24 points per game. There were bright spots, and there’s a whole lot of young talent and potential returning, and now it’s up to new head coach Shane Beamer and offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield to add more big play ability in all phases. It all starts with …

The offensive line.Β There might be several position battles across the board, but four starters are expected back on an O line that wasn’t awful for the ground but needs to be a whole lot stronger at keeping defenses out of the backfield.

As long as the group is pounding away for Kevin Harris, everything should be okay. The 5-10, 225-pound junior took over the ground game and became one of the team’s strongest performers, and he’s not alone even with No. 2 rusher Deshaun Fenwick taking off for Oregon State. If former star recruit MarShawn Lloyd can rock after suffering a torn ACL, look out.

And the quarterback will be …Β Luke Doty? Maybe. Ryan Hilinski left for Northwestern and 2020’s leading passer Collin Hill is finished, but Doty looked the part in offseason practices as the main man left from last season. JUCO transfer is a big 6-3, 225-pound option and freshman Colten Gauthier will get his shot.

Shi Smith is now a Carolina Panther – he led the team with 57 catches – but second-leading receiver TE Nick Muse is back for his super-senior season after catching 30 passes for 425 yards and a score.

Now the wide receivers have to emerge, with Georgia Tech transfer Ahmarean Brown adding some flash and junior Xavier Legette adding a little bit of pop as the leading returning yardage wideout.

Former South Carolina coach Will Muschamp working as analyst at UGA

Former South Carolina and Florida head coach Will Muschamp has been working with Georgia football in recent weeks

Former South Carolina and Florida head coach Will Muschamp has been working with Georgia football in recent weeks. Now, Kirby Smart has confirmed Muchamp’s role with the University of Georgia.

Muschamp played safety at Georgia and has coached defensive backs multiple times over his coaching career. He’ll be a defensive analyst at Georgia and is scheduled to make $300,000. Muschamp will also receive a buyout nearing $15 million from South Carolina.

The UGA alum (1991-1994) was fired by the Gamecocks before the end of the 2020 college football season. At South Carolina, Muschamp ended his career with a record of 28-30 overall.

Before coaching at South Carolina, Muschamp spent time as Auburn’s defensive coordinator in 2015 and was the head coach of the Florida Gators.

Coach Kirby Smart and Muschamp are friends, who both played together at UGA. They have coached together multiple times including stints with Valdosta State, LSU and the Miami Dolphins. Muschamp’s son, Jackson Muschamp, joined the Georgia program as a walk-on quarterback.

Muschamp played safety at Georgia and has coached defensive backs multiple times over his coaching career. His experience against Clemson, the SEC East, and more will be an asset for Georgia next season.
