BULLDOGS BACK HOME TO FACE KENT STATE

Top-ranked Georgia has won 13 straight at home and Saturday faces Kent State (1-2). The Golden Flashes began the season with an extended roadtrip falling at Washington and then flying to Tulsa and eventually to Norman where they lost to No. 7 Oklahoma. Last week, Kent State topped LIU 63-10 at home in Kent, Ohio.

FLASHBACK TO 1998 SEASON OPENER

In the first meeting between the two schools, Georgia opened the 1998 season with a 56-3 victory over Kent State in Athens. On the third play of the game, freshman Quincy Carter connected with junior Champ Bailey on a 40-yard touchdown strike. Bailey, a future NFL Hall of Famer, started on offense, defense and special teams that day against the Golden Flashes. Meanwhile Carter became the first Georgia freshman to start the season at quarterback since Johnny Rauch in 1945. Carter completed 12 of 16 passes for 235 yards and three scores. Kent State was held to 36 yards rushing on 32 attempts. Also of note, Bulldog defensive back and current head coach Kirby Smart tallied a pair of tackles and one pass breakup while offensive tackle and current SEC Network commentator Matt Stinchcomb helped pave the way for 289 rushing yards and 566 yards of total offense.
