The good vs. the bad from Georgia’s season opening win at Arkansas

Georgia won its season opener at Arkansas 37-10. We breakdown what went wrong and what went right here.

QB Stetson Bennett 

The junior quarterback used his championship run experience at Jones County Junior College in 2018 to lead the Bulldogs to the win. He threw for 211 yards on 20/29 passing with two touchdowns and added a two-point conversion run.

WR Kearis Jackson 

The redshirt sophomore receiver showed some explosiveness, caught six passes for 62 yards and returned two punts for 34 yards.

WR George Pickens 

Sophomore star receiver Pickens didn’t put up 175 yards like he did in the 2020 Sugar Bowl, but he did catch the first Georgia touchdown pass of the season with a good grab in the second quarter. He totaled four receptions for 47 yards.

RB Zamir White

The Bulldogs issues in the first half were evident on the offensive line, and sophomore running back Zamir ‘Zeus’ White had nowhere to go. When the line gelled in the second-half, White was able to get some space and we finally got to see his explosiveness. He finished with 71 yards on 13 carries and added a touchdown.

OLB Nolan Smith 

Sophmore linebacker Nolan Smith’s motor is amazing to watch. He is always running to the ball and was no different versus the Razorbacks. He racked up six tackles and 1.5 sacks.

CB Eric Stokes

Junior corner Eric Stokes is a 2021 NFL Draft hopeful and he helped his case Saturday with a pick-six off of Razorbacks quarterback Feleipe Franks in the third quarter.

S Richard LeCounte 

Georgia’s only preseason All-American, Richard LeCounte, led the Bulldogs secondary with two interceptions, one with just one hand. He also added two tackles and a pass defended to make his case as the best defensive back in the nation.

What does the team need to do better?
