Georgia injury report ahead of UGA vs Arkansas

Georgia is getting a couple of key players back this week for the matchup with Arkansas.

No. 2 Georgia has played without some of its key players so far this season, but the Bulldogs look to get a couple of those stars back for the top-10 matchup with Arkansas this Saturday.

After his second game back from an oblique injury,  star quarterback J.T. Daniels is once again on our injury report. Daniels made his return versus South Carolina after missing the UAB and then started in last week’s blowout victory over Vanderbilt. What we didn’t find out until Monday, is that the junior signal-caller had been dealing with a lat injury, which is still bothering him this week.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart is optimistic about Daniels’ status, though, and we should see him make his 4th start of the year against the Razorbacks.

Receiver Kearis Jackson has returned to full-speed after recovering from a knee procedure in fall camp. The leading pass catcher from a year ago only returned punts versus Clemson and UAB but was back at receiver against South Carolina and Vanderbilt.

Fellow wideout Arian Smith missed last week’s game due to a bone contusion (bruise), but is expected to be available this week.

Smart updated the status of both tight end Darnell Washington and defensive back Tykee Smith in a press conference on Monday. Both stars have been cleared and were a ‘full go’ at practice this week. Smart said he expects both to take the field on Saturday.

Receiver Dominick Blaylock , who after working his way back from an ACL tear suffered last year, had a setback last week with a tweaked hamstring. Smart said this week that Blaylock is still working his way back.

Star wideout George Pickens is rehabbing an ACL tear suffered in the spring. The junior was seen straight-line and running and catching passes at practice the last two weeks, signaling his recovery is on pace.

LSU transfer Arik Gilbert is still not with the team due to personal reasons.

Here’s an updated injury report for Saturday’s big matchup in Athens.

5 reasons why Georgia beats Arkansas

No. 2 Georgia takes on No. 8 Arkansas Saturday in Athens. Here’s why the Bulldogs get the win…

It’s a big one in Athens. No. 2 Georgia takes on No. 8 Arkansas from Sanford Stadium this Saturday at noon.

College Gameday will be there along with a host of recruits for one of the biggest matchups of the season.

Arkansas is riding high after a big win over No. 7 Texas A&M and Georgia is coming off a demolishing of Vanderbilt in Nashville.

Here’s five reasons why the Bulldogs take down the Razorbacks Between the Hedges.

College GameDay announces Week 5 destination

College GameDay coming to Athens for UGA vs Arkansas

ESPN’s flagship college football preview show, College GameDay, has announced it will be in Athens, Georgia on Saturday, Oct. 2.

College GameDay will be on-site when No. 2 Georgia takes on No. 11 Arkansas.

This will be the second time Georgia has been the featured matchup this season. College GameDay was live from Charlotte, North Carolina in Week 1 when UGA played Clemson.

This is a game that did not really receive any attention until recently. Arkansas has kept winning, though, and a Week 4 win over Texas A&M has generated a lot of buzz about these Razorbacks.

Georgia vs Arkansas is slated for a noon kickoff, which is wildly unfortunate. But again, who saw this coming?

Georgia vs Arkansas kickoff time, TV announced

Georgia vs Arkansas kickoff time, TV announced

Georgia’s October 2 game against Arkansas now has an official kickoff time and TV network, the SEC announced.

The game between the Bulldogs and Razorbacks will kickoff at 12pm ET and will air on ESPN. It will be played in Athens, Georgia.

This came as a rather unexpected time slot for the game, as it very well could end up being a ranked matchup between two SEC programs.

At the moment, Georgia is ranked No. 2 overall with Arkansas at No. 18 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.

Georgia will likely still hold its No. 2 spot, with an easy game against an inferior Vanderbilt program this weekend. Arkansas plays Texas A&M this Saturday. If the Razorbacks win, this will be a top-15 matchup.

Georgia and Arkansas have met 15 times, with UGA leading the series 11-4. The two teams met last year in September, a game Georgia won 37-10.

Twitter reacts to Florida jumping Georgia

The Twitter world reacts to Florida jumping Georgia in the polls, following Week 1 matchups.

The Florida Gators jumped the Georgia Bulldogs in this week’s Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Georgia stayed put at No. 4 while Florida jumped from No. 6 to No. 3 following a 51-35 victory over Ole Miss.

Here’s how the Twitter world reacted to the changes:

Game recap: Georgia fights back, beats Arkansas 37-10

Here’s the recap of Georgia’s win over Arkansas. We talk about the UGA quarterbacks and list some key stats of the game too!

Georgia recovers from an early deficit and beats Arkansas in Fayetteville 37-10.

Redshirt freshman quarterback D’Wan Mathis started out the game at quarterback but struggled, prompting Georgia to turn to junior Stetson Bennett with USC transfer J.T. Daniels in question with a knee injury.

Bennett showed poise and led Georgia back from a five-point deficit, creating his own buzz in the Bulldog quarterback competition.

As far as the revamped offensive line, the Bulldogs’ front recovered from a slow start and began to push their way around the field.

Defensively, Georgia had a field-day. The Bulldogs racked up three interceptions, two by preseason All-American safety Richard LeCounte and stifled the Razorbacks’ ground game, allowing 77 rushing yards.

Here are the key stat lines from Georgia’s opener:

QB D’Wan Mathis : 8-17, 55 yards, 1 INT

QB Stetson Bennett: 20-29, 211 yards, 2 TD
RB Zamir White: 13 carries, 71 yards, 1 TD
WR Kearis  Jackson: 6 rec, 62 yards
UGA total offensive yards: 387 / Arkansas – 280
UGA passing yards: 266 / Arkansas – 203
UGA penalies : 12 for 108 yards / Arkansas – 10 for 53 yards

 

Watch: Zamir White scores his first tocudhown of the season in 3rd quarter vs Arkansas

Watch RB Zamir White scores his first touchdown of the 2020 season here!

This Georgia offense has finally come to life. The Bulldogs now lead 34-10 over Arkansas due to this run by redshirt freshman phenom Zamir White.

Watch it here:

Those cuts made by White are reminiscent of a D’Andre Swift or Todd Gurley.

So glad to see him healthy and running with conviction after fighting back from multiple knee injuries in his young career.

Let’s hope to see more runs like this moving forward, this offensive line is really getting some push now.
