Georgia is 4-0 versus ranked teams, including a pair of top-10 wins.

Former Georgia receiver and current Houston Texan Chris Conley hauled in two touchdown passes from Hutson Mason and former Bulldog running back and current Cleveland Brown Nick Chubb had two scoring runs, including an 83-yard scamper. While the Buccaneers tallied 190 yards on the ground and won the turnover battle two to one, they only managed 21 through the air. Meanwhile, Georgia piled up 580 yards and was never forced to punt.

UGA Football: Coach Smart, Bulldogs Prepare for Buccaneers

ATHENS, Ga. — University of Georgia head football coach Kirby Smart, along with a pair of players previewed Saturday’s home matchup against Charleston Southern. The Bulldogs and the Buccaneers kick off at 12 p.m. ET in Athens, Ga.

On Wednesday, Coach Smart, Xavier Truss and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint offered the following comments.

Head Coach Kirby Smart
On how many seniors will be out there on Saturday…
“We’re going to have somewhere between 28 and 30, it’s gotten narrowed down to about that point in terms of guys who decided if they are going to walk or not. Yes, Stetson (Bennett) will be one of them. I think out of them there are about 16-17 that have remaining eligibility and are considering that eligibility. It wouldn’t be the first year of doing it had we not had the cancelation last year. Last year, we had it all set up for Devonte (Wyatt) and (Justin) Shaffer. A lot of those guys were walking last year, they came back and played and have been a major part of our success.”
