How do you grade a team in a 66-0 win?

Everything went pretty much according to plan on Saturday afternoon between the hedges.

Let’s grade the ‘Dawgs performance in each phase of the game:

Offense: A-

The offense had its way against the Trojans. Georgia amassed 547 yards of total offense, with 367 of those yards coming on the ground. Freshman tailback Sony Michel led the way with 10 carries for 155 yards and three scores with Heisman hopeful Todd Gurley adding 73 yards on six carries in his only series of the game. There were no glaring mistakes as the Bulldogs stuck mainly with the running game because Troy had absolutely no answer for Georgia’s talented stable of backs.

Defense: B+

They allowed just 216 total yards of offense. But Trojan signal caller Dontreal Pruitt was able to have some success early throwing the football. Pruitt finished with 169 yards on the game, with 76 of those yards coming in the first quarter. After that, Georgia forced two turnovers, tightened the screws and never allowed Troy to get much of anything going.

Special Teams: A

Marshall Morgan knocked his only field goal through in the second quarter and kicked five touchbacks out of his 11 kickoffs. Collin Barber punted three times and averaged just 37.7 yards per kick. According to Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald, head coach Mark Richt said postgame that “the punting was a little shaky.” Obviously some tongue-in-cheek from the Bulldog head man in a 66 point win.
