Dogs Atop The Polls

For the sixth straight week, Georgia is the unanimous No. 1 team in the AP and Coaches polls. This matches the longest stretch at No. 1 since 1980. Currently, Georgia is ranked No. 1 in the College Football Playoff poll. Before this season, the last time Georgia was No. 1 in the CFP poll was for two weeks during the 2017 season (Oct. 31, Nov. 7). The third 2021 CFP ranking will be released on Tuesday. Georgia is 4-0 versus ranked teams, including a pair of top-10 wins.

Georgia-Charleston Southern Series History

The Bulldogs and Buccaneers have met only once and that came in 2014. Six different Georgia players scored as UGA topped Charleston Southern 55-9. Former Georgia receiver and current Houston Texan Chris Conley hauled in two touchdown passes from Hutson Mason and former Bulldog running back and current Cleveland Brown Nick Chubb had two scoring runs, including an 83-yard scamper. While the Buccaneers tallied 190 yards on the ground and won the turnover battle two to one, they only managed 21 through the air. Meanwhile, Georgia piled up 580 yards and was never forced to punt.

Dominating Defense & Offense Delivering Points

Georgia leads the nation in Scoring Defense giving up just 7.6 points per game. The Bulldogs are averaging 38.7 points per game, which is ranked 11th nationally.

The Bulldogs have only trailed four times this year. The first time was at No. 18 Auburn when the Tigers kicked a field goal in the first quarter. Georgia trailed in that game for 5:29. Following the Tigers’ score, the Bulldogs reeled off 24 straight points. The second instance happened in the first quarter against Missouri following a field goal. The Bulldogs trailed for 5:08 in that contest. Georgia then went on a 40-0 run. At UT, Georgia fell behind 7-0 in the first quarter for 2:33 before tying the game. The Volunteers reclaimed a 10-7 advantage later in the quarter and led for another 7:07. Georgia responded by scoring 34 unanswered points in an eventual 41-17 victory.

The defense has allowed just seven touchdowns while the unit has scored three touchdowns. The defense did not allow a touchdown until the third game of the season and that came in the fourth quarter versus USC with the Bulldogs leading 40-6. The second came at No. 18 AU with Georgia leading 24-3. No. 11 Kentucky had two scores, including the final one with :04 left. Florida scored with 2:49 left in the game with Georgia leading 27-0. UT managed a first quarter TD and built a 10-7 lead before Georgia stormed back. By the way, UAB’s touchdown came on a pick-six.

UGA Football: Tindall Named Walter Camp National Player Of The Week

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia senior linebacker Channing Tindall has been named the Walter Camp Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) National Defensive Player of the Week, according to an announcement from the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Tindall, a native of Columbia, S.C., joined Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers (National Offensive Player of the Week) to give the Southeastern Conference a sweep of this week’s awards.

Tindall is the 10th Georgia player to earn Walter Camp National FBS Player of the Week honors and the first since former Bulldog running back Todd Gurley in 2014.

Tindall piled up eight tackles, had a career-high three sacks and a forced fumble during Georgia’s 41-17 victory at Tennessee.  He helped the Bulldogs hold the Vols to just 55 yards on 36 carries (1.5 avg.).  With Georgia up 27-10 and Tennessee in UGA territory, Tindall picked up a pair of third quarter sacks on the same series, including one on a 4th-and-13 situation.  On the Vols’ next possession at the UGA 7-yard line, Tindall sacked the quarterback and forced a fumble that his teammate Travon Walker recovered.

The No. 1 Bulldogs (10-0, 8-0 SEC) play host to Charleston Southern (4-5, 3-4 Big South) on Saturday.  SECN+ will stream the matchup at 12 p.m.

Dogs Atop The Polls

For the fifth straight week, Georgia is the unanimous No. 1 team in the AP and Coaches polls. This marks the first time since the 2008 preseason that the Bulldogs have carried the top ranking in both polls. During the 1982 regular season, the Bulldogs were ranked No. 1 for five straight weeks. Currently, Georgia is ranked No. 1 in the College Football Playoff poll. Before this season, the last time Georgia was No. 1 in the CFP poll was for two weeks during the 2017 season (Oct. 31, Nov. 7). The second 2021 CFP ranking will be released on Tuesday. Georgia is 4-0 versus ranked teams, including a pair of top-10 wins.

Georgia-Tennessee Series History

Georgia concludes an eight-game stretch of SEC contests against Tennessee. While the Bulldogs have already clinched the league’s Eastern Division, they are aiming to go a perfect 8-0 in the league for the first time in school history. Georgia has gone a perfect 6-0 in the SEC East two times (2017-18) under Kirby Smart. Since 2017, the Bulldogs are 26-2 against teams from the East.

With Georgia’s 44-21 victory in Athens last season, the Bulldogs moved ahead two games in the all-time series with UT 25-23-2. The series between the two teams dates back to 1899. The 2019 victory marked the first time the Bulldogs broke a tie to take a series lead over UT since 1981 when it went up 9-8-2.

Following the 1981 game, the teams didn’t play again until 1988 when the Bulldogs extended their series advantage to 10-8-2 with a 28-17 win in Athens. Then, the Volunteers won the next nine meetings. It would be 2014 before the series would be tied again (21-21-2) following Georgia’s 35-32 victory in Athens. UT claimed the series lead by winning the next two years while Georgia has emerged on top the past four seasons to take an edge in the series yet again.
