No. 1 Georgia has moved to 3-0 after a 48-7 win over South Carolina in the Bulldogs’ SEC opener and first true road test.
Quarterback Stetson Bennett continued his dominant play with four total touchdowns. The Mailman completed 16 of 23 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 36 yards on three carries and two scores on the ground.
Tight end Brock Bowers had an incredible day racking up 5 catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns, while adding a five-yard touchdown run.
The Georgia defense held Gamecocks quarterback Spencer Rattler, who threw for 376 yards a week ago at Arkansas, to 13 of 25 passing for 118 yards and two interceptions.
The UGA defense has not taken a step back from the record-setting 2021 season. The Bulldogs forced three turnovers, allowed 7 points that came in garbage time with backups on the field and held South Carolina to 306 total yards.
Here’s how UGA Twitter is reacting to the Dawgs win.

Another (almost) shutout
Georgia allows its 1st TD of season – after 179 minutes, 7 seconds of game time – but leads South Carolina 48-7. Georgia has allowed only 10 points in 3 games this season

BREAKING: Georgia has given up a touchdown.
It was the backups, to be fair

Georgia might be better than they were last year.
