ATLANTA — Turns out Georgia’s defense might be all right in 2022. But what about that offense, huh?
Playing behind sixth-year senior quarterback Stetson Bennett, the No. 3-ranked Bulldogs basically were unstoppable against Oregon on Saturday.
Facing a team coached by its former defensive coordinator, Dan Lanning, Georgia went 85 yards, 92 yards, 56 yards and 75 yards for touchdown drives on their only four offensive possessions of the opening half. Riding a 28-3 halftime lead, the Bulldogs cruised from there. Georgia gained 568 yards before finally punting late in the fourth quarter in a 49-3 season-opening victory over the No. 11-ranked Ducks in a Chick-fil-A Kickoff game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
