The Georgia Bulldogs are the top-ranked team in the nation, but they didn't play like it this past weekend. Georgia just took on Kent State at home and they were favored by 45 points in the contest but won by just 17. Georgia led just 26-13 at the break and they were never able to pull away in the second half winning the game just 39-22. That was after they outscored their first three opponents by a combined 130-10.
Georgia piled up 529 yards of total offense against Kent State and they were very balanced in doing so. The Dawgs had 257 yards rushing and 272 yards passing. Stetson Bennett did through for 272 yards but he also had one INT and no Tds in the contest and that was against a MAC defense. He has thrown for 1224 yards with five TDs and one INT on the year while also rushing for 44 yards and four TDs so far. The Bulldogs have a solid ground game and leading the way against Kent State was Brock Bowers, who ran for 77 yards and two TDs, while Daijun Edwards chipped in with 73 yards. Georgia is 8th in the nation in passing and 50th in rushing, which is a bit odd as they are usually led by their ground game.
The defense had allowed 10 points through their first three games, but Kent State does have a good offense and they scored 22 points on this defense. The Golden Flashes put up just 281 yards in the contest but were still able to score 22 points. Georgia now ranks 11th in total defense, 21st in pass defense, 16th in run defense, and 5th in points allowed, giving up just 8.0 ppg so far. yes, they still have one of the best defenses in the nation and it will only get better as the season goes on. They will not be facing a great offense in this one.
