The Bulldogs answered with a pair of first quarter scores for a 14-7 edge. The Rebels reached the end zone just once more in the second quarter before being held to a field goal in the second half.

On The Road Again

Second-ranked Georgia (7-1, 5-1 SEC) has its final road game of the regular season this Saturday at No. 16/12 Ole Miss before finishing with three games Between The Hedges. The Bulldogs have played an SEC-low three home games at this point of the season where they are 3-0. Georgia is 2-1 on the road and 2-0 at neutral sites (Atlanta & Jacksonville) this year. Also of note, the traveling SEC road show “SEC Nation” will be in Oxford for this Saturday’s matchup. In their last true road game coming on Oct. 19, the Bulldogs knocked off top-ranked Texas 30-15 in front of a record crowd of 105,215 in Austin. Georgia entered the Texas game with 11 sacks on the season and tallied seven against the Longhorns plus had three fumble recoveries to give them five on the year.

After an open date, Georgia outlasted Florida 34-20 in Jacksonville this past Saturday. The Bulldogs trailed 13-6 at the half, and it was 20-all with 7:29 left in the contest when Georgia pulled away. The go-ahead scoring drive covered 75 yards in seven plays including two third down conversions, the last a 10-yard TD strike from Carson Beck to Dominic Lovett. The final score came after an impressive CJ Allen interception, the first of his career, set the Bulldogs up at the Gator 7.

Meanwhile, Ole Miss blasted Arkansas 63-31 in Fayetteville last Saturday to tie a school mark for most points ever against an SEC opponent, matching a 63-28 triumph over Vanderbilt in 1979. The Rebels tallied 694 yards of offense against Arkansas including a school record 562 passing yards by Jaxson Dart. His top target, Jordan Watkins, set school marks with 254 yards and five TDs on just eight catches. He scored twice from 62 yards and once from 66.

UGA Men’s Basketball: Bulldogs Top Golden Eagles, 83-78, in Season Opener

ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles, 83-78, in their home regular season opener Monday night at Stegeman Coliseum. Three scorers saw double figures as freshman forward Asa Newell led the charge with 26 points, matching Dominique Wilkins for the all-time program record for points scored in a freshman debut.

Key Quotes
“This team also has got a ways to go,” head coach Mike White said. “It’s easy when you’re at Charlotte and you’re up big late and there’s no game pressure on you and the things fall in and we’re getting tip dunks and what have you. Then you play Central Florida, who we all knew was a lot better than that. We probably weren’t that good. I hope to be that good in a couple months. Now it’s equal opportunity, a lot of stuff we were doing today, but that’s another area where we’ve got to grow and learn who we are. Who’s getting the ball and what spots at what time of the game and how we’re going to execute, what we can really hang our hat on. So, we’ll be able to learn a lot from this game.”
