Bulldogs Register Another Victory:

• Top-ranked Georgia improves to 7-0 (4-0 SEC) with a 55-0 victory over Vanderbilt (3-4, 0-3 SEC).
• Georgia now has won five in a row against the Commodores and lead the series 60-20-2 including 22-4 on Homecoming. Head coach Kirby Smart is 5-1 against VU. Overall, the Bulldogs now are 35-4 at home under Smart and 73-15 overall.

Defense Dominates Again:

• The Bulldog defense blanked VU for the second consecutive time in the series (62-0 in 2021) and that is the first time the Bulldogs have done that to an SEC team since 1980-81 to Kentucky (27-0 in 1980 and 21-0 in 1981).
• Before this year, the last back-to-back shutouts over VU came with three in a row from 1962-64.
• The Bulldogs have two shutouts this year (33-0 over Samford) and now 10 in the Kirby Smart era including six in the SEC.
• Georgia came in today ranked fourth nationally in Scoring Defense, surrendering just 10.7 points a game, and lowered that to 9.1 ppg.
• VU finished with just 150 yards of total offense on 47 plays. They were 5-for-13 on third down.
• The leading tacklers were senior DB Chris Smith with five stops while sophomore linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson and freshman Jalon Walker had four each.
