Georgia football names captains for Oregon game

The Georgia Bulldogs have named the team captains for the season opener against the Oregon Ducks.

The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart have named the team captains for the season opening game against the Oregon Ducks.

Georgia football needs a new breed of Bulldog leaders to step up after having 15 players selected in the 2022 NFL draft. Georgia returns a lot of talent, but faces a tough test from a hungry Oregon team.

The Ducks have a lot of motivation and are very familiar with Georgia’s roster. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning served as the defensive coordinator for a pair of Georgia’s captains last season.

Who are Georgia football’s four team captains for the Oregon game?

Georgia Bulldogs name South Carolina game captains

Georgia’s captains for the South Carolina game are defensive tackle Jordan Davis, linebacker Channing Tindall, and wide receiver Kearis Jackson.

The Georgia Bulldogs open SEC conference play against the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Bulldogs are looking to return to the SEC Championship in Atlanta.

Georgia’s captains for the South Carolina game are defensive tackle Jordan Davis, linebacker Channing Tindall, and wide receiver Kearis Jackson.

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 Bulldogs got revenge last season with a 45-16 win. Now, Kirby Smart and former Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp are looking to begin a new home winning streak against South Carolina.

The Georgia-South Carolina game starts at 7 p.m. The kickoff weather is expected to be mild and cloudy with a small chance of rain (15%).

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs enter the South Carolina game with aย  2-0 record. The Dawgs have wins over Clemson (10-3) and UAB (56-7). South Carolina is also 2-0. The Gamecocks opened the season with wins against Eastern Illinois at home (46-0) and at East Carolina (20-17).

The rivalry game will be the SEC opener for both schools.

Quarterback JT Daniels, running back James Cook, and linebacker Nakobe Dean will captain the Bulldogs for their 2021 season opener. Kirby Smart and UGA need big performances out of all three of Georgia’s captains.

The 65th edition of Georgia-Clemson is expected to be the top nonconference game in college football this season. No. 5 Georgia faces No. 3 Clemson at a neutral site for the first time in over 100 years.

The game has College Football Playoff implications and should be one of the more entertaining games of the season.

Georgia will need strong leadership to prevail. JT Daniels must be effective as a passer despite a depleted arsenal of receivers. Naboke Dean and the Georgia defense will have the tough task of trying to limit Clemson quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei, who looked sharp in two starts last season.

UGA football names captains versus South Carolina

The Georgia Bulldogs have named their South Carolina game captains including running back Zamir White.

The Georgia Bulldogs have named their Week 10 captains ahead of the game against the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Dawgs named running back Zamir White, linebacker Channing Tindall, and linebacker Azeez Ojulari as captains for the night game.

This game is a big one for Channing Tindall, who played football at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina before coming to the University of Georgia. Tindall and the Bulldogs will travel to Columbia to face South Carolina, who is 2-6 overall on the season.

The Gamecocks fired head coach Will Muschamp a few weeks ago and will have former Georgia Bulldog offensive coordinator Mike Bobo as their interim coach this week. The No. 9 ranked Georgia Bulldogs will look to add another blemish to Bobo’s squad.

South Carolina is absent several key defenders ahead of the game. A few South Carolina players opted out of the remaining games this year following Muschamp’s dismissal: linebacker/safety R.J. Roderick, defensive tackle Makius Scott, cornerback Jaycee Horn, and cornerback Israel Mukuamu all opted out for the Gamecocks.

In fact, Israel Mukuamu played the best game of his career against Georgia last season. Mukuamu intercepted Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm three times and returned one of them for a touchdown. Additionally, Jaycee Horn is projected to be a high 2021 NFL Draft pick.

LeCounte is the leader of the Dawgs defense, tallying 61 tackles and 4 interceptions last year at defensive back.ย  He was named to the preseason Bednarik Award watch list, an award given each year to college footballs most outstanding defensive player.ย  It is going to be fun to watch LeCounte playing in his senior season with the Dawgs and really become the veteran leader of this team.

Herring has been a force for the Bulldogs at the defensive end position.ย  He has played in every game except two since arriving in Athens in 2017.ย  Herring had 26 tackles, two pass deflections and 18 quarterback hurries in 9 games with Georgia last season.

Salyer will replace now Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson at the right tackle position.ย  Salyer played in 26 games in his first two seasons with the Dawgs and is expected to be a cornerstone for the offensive line this year.

The Bulldogs kick off against the Razorbacks at 4:00 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
