Game & Broadcast Info

On Saturday, Georgia will make its second appearance of the season on the SEC Network. The Bulldogs traveled to Fayetteville, Ark., and took down Arkansas 37-10 during UGA’s first appearance on the SECN this season. While Georgia did not appear on the SECN at all in 2019, the team played on the network three times in 2018 (Vanderbilt, Massachusetts, Georgia Tech).

Also on SECN this week will be a re-air of the 1980 Georgia vs. South Carolina game as part of a year-long celebration of the 1980 National Championship. This game will air on Tuesday, October 27th beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET. The following week Georgia fans can watch the re-broadcast of the 1980 Georgia vs. Florida game and later in the season the 1980 Georgia vs. Notre Dame National Championship game will be shown. The SECN will be showing our 1980 S Carolina game on Tuesday, October 27 in the 10p-midnight window.

Included below are comments from head coach Kirby Smart and defensive linemen Travon Walker and Malik Herring following practice Tuesday, Oct. 27.

Head coach Kirby Smart (Full transcript)
On the progress of his offensive line this season and whether he plans to shuffle any players around…
“In spurts, we have played better. Certainly, the production has been better. I think they are a little more comfortable. I can’t really explain the Arkansas game other than we didn’t move guys and didn’t execute really well. It turned into a passing game it seemed like—we threw it a lot. There wasn’t a lot of run-game there in the second half. I thought they did some good things in each game. We have some guys that have played, between Trey [Hill], Ben [Cleveland] and Jamaree [Salyer]. They’ve played a lot of football, even [Justin] Shaffer has played a lot of football for us around here. They are playing at a better level, probably not what we need in terms of being elite, but they work hard each day. We shuffle guys in practice. We have to be prepared for an injury. The second five have all worked, and each one of those guys in the first five have doubled up at a second position as an emergency situation. Right now, it’s really about developing the younger guys and continuing to get them better and trying to get our first guys to execute at a higher level.”

On Stetson Bennett’s goal going into the bye week in regards to practice…
“The first goal was to do a better job of protecting the ball in terms of two hands while in the pocket, while also when running. If you have noticed he had the one against Alabama, and he scooped it up. He runs with the ball in one hand. We have made an assertive effort to improve that. Second was decision making on down-field throws and check-downs. The third thing was putting us in the right play and making good decisions. He has worked really hard on those things. Some of it is movement in the pocket—which is awareness. I thought that he could learn a lot from Jake [Fromm] in terms of pocket awareness. Where are the holes in the pockets? Where is the rush? Where can [he] step up? I think he has done well with that. It is hard to simulate that because we don’t have games. We try to do it with competitive third down and pass periods.”

You hope to learn something new every day, right? Georgia running back Zamir White introduced me to something new during our Quick Chat on Monday, though it may not be something I’ll be first in line to eat.

When asked what meal he always looks forward to eating when he goes home, the redshirt sophomore from Laurinburg, N.C., a town of about 15,000 located 90 miles or so east of Charlotte, included “hog maws” in his answer. In 48 years of living around the South, I’d never heard of hog maws.

During our Chat, White, who leads the fifth-ranked Bulldogs with 266 yards rushing and five touchdowns on 64 carries heading into Saturday’s game at Kentucky, also talked about taking it easy at home last weekend, when he knew he might have a bright future in football and much more.

Here’s some of what he had to say:

Frierson: How did you spend your off weekend and how happy were you to get a break after four games?
