Georgia (5-0, 3-0 SEC) checks in at No. 2 in the AP and Coaches poll for the fifth straight week.
The Bulldogs are averaging an NCAA-best 51.4 points a game.
The offensive line starters have been the same every game this season in Earnest Greene III, Dontrell Glover, Drew Bobo, Zykie Helton and Juan Gaston Jr. Fifth-year All-SEC quarterback Gunner Stockton ranks 3rd in the NCAA with a 202.0 passing efficiency rating. All-SEC tailbacks Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens lead the running game combining for 11 TDs in only 61 attempts while the wideouts and tight ends have shared the load.
The defense is allowing just 13.4 points a game (1st in the SEC/12th nationally).
The same 11 Bulldogs started on defense through the first four games. The front and middle featured Elijah Griffin, Jordan Hall, Quintavius Johnson, Gabe Harris Jr., Chris Cole and Raylen Wilson while the back end included All-Americans KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson IV plus Demello Jones, Kyron Jones and Khalil Barnes. Against VU, Joseph Jonah-Ajonye (DL) and Rasean Dinkins (SS) made their first starts this year.
Senior All-SEC placekicker Peyton Woodring is a weapon with a career FG% of 89% (63-of- 71) and an SEC record 206 consecutive PATs made. Junior Drew Miller handles the punting.
The Bulldogs brought in only nine scholarship transfers this year, the fewest in the SEC. The SEC Gauntlet Underway: The two-time defending SEC champion Bulldogs (5-0, 3-0 SEC) will take their second road trip of the season and will face No. 6 Alabama (5-0, 3-0 SEC). After opening up with a pair of non-conference foes, Georgia has nine straight SEC contests with one bye after the fifth game in this stretch.
Georgia opened league play with a 45-17 road win over Arkansas and the past two weeks have registered a pair of home wins over then #24 Oklahoma (41-13) and Vanderbilt (38-14).
