The 1-0 Bulldogs play host to UAB (1-0) on Saturday after the Blazers took down Jacksonville State 31-0 on Sept. 1. Georgia leads the all-time series with UAB 2-0. The teams met in 2003 (16-13) and in 2006 (34-0) in Sanford Stadium. In the first meeting, fifth-ranked Georgia jumped ahead 10-0 before the Blazers tied it up by halftime. UAB took a 13-10 midway through the third quarter before Billy Bennett made a 29-yarder to tie it. He added a 31-yarder early in the fourth quarter to reclaim the lead and become the leading scorer in school history at 355, passing Kevin Butler’s mark of 353. Bennett finished his career with 409. The current scoring record belongs to Rodrigo Blankenship (440 from 2016-19).

In the most recent meeting with UAB, Georgia’s defense posted its second straight shutout (previous week beat South Carolina 18-0) and Matthew Stafford became the first Bulldog freshman to start at quarterback since 1998. Stafford finished 10-for-17 for 107 yards and one rushing touchdown. The No. 10 Bulldogs held UAB to 167 yards of total offense.

On a related scoring note, Georgia entered the 2021 season with the sixth longest streak among FBS teams without being shutout at 328 games. Georgia’s streak dates back to 1995. Florida owns the longest streak at 410 games followed by Michigan, BYU, TCU and Virginia Tech.

ATHENS, Ga. – Former University of Georgia head football coach Mark Richt will be honored at halftime of the Bulldogs’ football game versus Missouri on Nov. 6, J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks announced on Thursday.

“We are so appreciative of all of Coach Richt’s contributions to the University of Georgia,” Brooks said. “His impact on Georgia football, the Athletic Association and the Athens community is immeasurable. We are thrilled we are able to honor him at Sanford Stadium this season.”

Richt’s 145-51 overall record in 15 seasons at UGA ranks him 10th on the all-time winningest SEC coach list. The Bulldogs had an 85-40 SEC record during his tenure and made five appearances in SEC Championship Games, winning twice in 2002 and 2005. Richt, a two-time SEC Coach of the Year honoree, led Georgia to nine bowl game wins, with Sugar Bowl victories in 2002 and 2007.

During Richt’s tenure leading the Bulldogs, his teams produced 84 NFL Draft picks (2002-16), including 13 taken in the first round, had 17 All-Americans and finished with 106 All-SEC selections.

“Katharyn and I are excited about being honored on Nov. 6 in Sanford Stadium,” Richt said. “Athens and the University of Georgia have been very special to us and we are humbled to be a part of the great history and tradition of the football program. We also would like to thank the people of Georgia for the love and support we felt throughout our time in Athens.”

Network coverage and the game time for the Georgia-Missouri game have yet to be announced.
