Georgia makes QB change with offense sputtering against Arkansas
Less than one half into the 2020 season, Georgia has made a quarterback change.
After redshirt freshman quarterback D’wan Mathis and the Bulldogs got off to a slow start at Arkansas, Georgia replaced Mathis with redshirt junior Stetson Bennett IV. Mathis was 6-for-14 for 37 yards and an interception at the time of the switch.
Bennett didn’t play in his first two years at the school, but in 2019, he appeared in five games, going 20-for-27 for 260 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and a rushing touchdown.
With Mathis leading the offense, the Bulldogs’ first six drives resulted in five punts and an interception.
However, Bennett’s first drive leading Georgia didn’t end any better. The Bulldogs turned the ball over on downs at Arkansas’ 24-yard line. But Bennett went 4-for-5 for 33 yards on the drive.
Georgia has redshirt sophomore JT Daniels, a transfer from USC, on its roster, but he hasn’t been fully cleared to play while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered while playing for the Trojans last season. But if the Bulldogs’ offense continues to struggle, then perhaps Daniels will quickly get an opportunity once he’s ready to go.
lol, what a mess.
Lol
Not really suprising…it’s been a long time since Mathis saw live action football. I would probably go back to him after half.
Who had 5-7 at halftime?? God lord this is rough.
Should’ve been 2-7, if Pittman had not called that timeout.
2 points against Arkansas. 28 point spread oh nooooo
Our offense looks as bad as Florida’s defense
5 points in an entire half. Versus Arkansas. Nice try
And Arky gifted them 2.
I mean our offense is bad. But how did they “gift” us the safety?
By Kendall Briles calling an incredibly stupid play for the situation.
Oh ok. Stupid offensive play not a good defensive play. Got it
So sensitive.. Did him pointing out the score and spread hurt your feeling?
No your offense and coach looks confused
Georgia fans talked trash about LSU’s defense all year last year. How’d that work out for you?
Florida fans talked trash all year about Georgia’s offense last season. How’d that work out for you?
Well we do always lose one we shouldn’t.
Will it be the very first game of the season?
Nope.
Corch? DOW? Kirby? Leghumper? Any of you soyboys have answers?
Lol they are hiding in the basement. That is if they are still sober.
If UGA turns it around in second half and win, those three trolls will say something along the lines “we were rusty but now we are ready to bust the SEC wide open”. Go Hogs!
Come on Arkansas!!
Right here, ‘turd boy.
I feel much more certain we’ll get our offense fixed before y’all get your defense fixed.
Doubt it boy. Just lay down and take your azz kickin by THE Razorback’s . Lol
Oops
@OldTakesExposed.
New to college football?
Well looky there, we’ve already scored more points than Auburn did today, see y’all next weekend. Bring your big boy pants.
Remember you are playing Arky, the second worst team in the league
Well there you go again mee palley…gotta hand it to you, you sure know how to kill a twitcher…
The bulldoggies better get something figured out quickly. What a mess at QB.
Georgia will figure it out, it’s the first game of the season. Love how Florida fans are talking trash after your “top SEC” defense gave up 600+ yards and 35 points to the Fighting Kiffins. Lucky Trask and Pitts has career days because if the game came down to defense, Ole Miss more than likely would have won.
Now I’ll spend the whole week trying to figure out how legit Kiffin’s offense and Pittmann’s defenses are.
Georgia’s defense always won ballgames. Not their offense. You look some of the top defenses right now in the SEC with Florida and LSU, they are getting exposed. Kiffin and Leach bringing offensive mentality to the SEC and teams don’t know know how to react. Orgeron, their OV and Brady did it last year for LSU and not one team knew how to stop it. One thing is constant with Georgia, their defense.
Only problem is Georgia is actually going to lose this game.
Are they?
Something tells me this take won’t age well
So UGA’s offense will figure it out, but not the Gator defense? When you’re missing 2 starters in the secondary and 2 starters on the D-line in the first game of the season against a pretty good offense, you’re going to struggle a bit. How quickly people forget how much LSU’s defense struggled to start last season. The Gator defense will be fine, UGA’s offense has a lot more work to do.
Lucky Trask & Pitts, what an asinine statement
Luckily all their QBs are Heisman contenders..
Troll
So are you…
“Our offense looks as bad as Florida’s defense”
In response to “ 2 points against Arkansas. 28 point spread oh nooooo”
How do I troll an UGA article???
You don’t…pay no attention to troll Bamaturd, he’s been unbearable since his uncle harvey died.
Hey look the UGA POS crawled out from under his rock…
Still doing your family legacy proud turd? What a wasted tadpole. Pssss off. Oh yeah, in case I forgot to tell ya…bite me
Is your family legacy talking about people’s dead mother? You’re a POS that won’t be missed..
Not peoples…just yours. Now scamper off little wimp. Make your family legacy proud. Oh, I almost forgot, bite me tadpole
You think talking about someone’s dead family member is something to be proud of?
You’re trash…
Not someone’s…just yours. What part of bite me turd didn’t you understand, do what you do best and swim away fast tadpole. Oh, and take this with you, bite me
There is no bigger POS on SDS than you… Keep talking, you’re an embarrassment to the UGA fans that aren’t actually trash…
You won’t be missed..
Perhaps I didn’t spell it loud enough for you, turd. B I T E M E…better? Now get out of here and go make your legacy proud troll. OH yeah, in case I forgot, bite me
Fu(k off you POS… You’re a waste of oxygen…
Don’t be so sensitive bro
Welp, can’t go much wronger than 11 flags for 118 penalty yards in the first half.
Defense is insanely good.
Here’s thinking JT Daniels will be medically cleared during the week for the Auburn game.
Been trying to tell y’all…Stetson Bennett
Lol
If Georgia fails to win this game, I GUARANTEE you that JT Daniels will be cleared to play before the sun goes down today. Every single penny touched by Satan himself in the state of Georgia will go towards making that reality.
That’s a lot of pennies, thank goodness we didn’t fail. Stetson for president
I wonder if Mathis didn’t actually get a concussion on that hit in the first quarter? It was close to targeting, if not targeting.
He defiantly got his bell rung.
Leghumper! Your boy is in there! Will he save the day?
Yes
So what did you think of my boi Stetson? Rocky got nothing on that kid!
Back to the bottom of the east dawgs.
This, boys and girls, is why you don’t talk trash all off season to your rival.
We’ll still beat y’all. Guaranteed.
Why? Because Sideshow Dan the Clown is owned by Kirby.
We could lose every game. We’ll still beat y’all.
The Black Knight from Monty Python speaks! It’s just a flesh wound!
Funny.
Hey dumb azz . You are losing to Arkansas. ARKANSAS. Shut up!!!!!
Are we?
Guaranteed? Man I knew you were stupid but…….
Y’all’s defense gave up SIX HUNDRED YARDS.
If you think I’m worried, you’re wrong.
Y’all suck
600 yards given up by your defense. Y’all aren’t looking too hot either.
Yeah that tends to happen when you score like Florida’s offense does….see 2019 LSU.
Florida beat Ole Miss, let’s pump the breaks.
Ole Miss is way better than Arky, just saying. We beat them down from the get go and yet you struggled against the second worst team in the league if you want to compare
Sure palley, let’s go with that. If only games were 30 minutes…
600 plus yards from 3rd n Grantham…very intimidating defense y’all have there.
Georgia’s offense sucks as equally as Florida and LSU’s defense.
Yeah but what about Vandy
Sheesh, hope our offense doesn’t suck as bad as Georgia’s does.
Let me guess….Arkansas is gonna much improved and gonna be one of the best teams in the SEC this year? Lol.
Well at least we have a good return man.
And punter lol
First half of the first game was extremely ugly. But this is a long season. Some of y’all are getting ahead of yourselves
I agree but you have to admit it’s concerning. That 1st half was really bad.
Yeah, it is concerning. But with so many new pieces, it will take time for things to gel.
I was really surprised at the penetration by Arkansas dline. That concerns me most. I thought at least we’d be able to lean against the run if we were struggling.
Just like last year, if you can’t pass it’s hard to run. Dwan was struggling. Stetson opened things up and we then ran the ball well
Stetson Bennett for heisman..lol!
He’s got my vote lol
Arkansas defense is exhausted. They have no depth to rotate.
That and Stetson appears much more comfortable running this offense.
Stetson Bennett to the rescue! Wow what a turnaround.
All the sudden it’s 34-10 with 11 minutes left. And the peanut gallery grows quiet…
If yall don’t stick with mathis its only because georgia is a racist school.
Lol sure buddy
I love Mathis. I hope he just had a bad game.
You’re pathetic. Truly pathetic.
I noticed that LSU fans are conveniently missing from this pile on.
They’re very preoccupied with getting upset. I switched over to the LSU game about 10 minutes ago. It seems Mississippi state has a defense and guys who can catch passes. Who knew?
Yeah I’m not sure what’s more surprising, how quickly the Air Raid found success or MSU’s defense.
Actually like I told Nash…LSU had more yards this year than they did last year with Burrow. Obviously the bones of a good defense were already in place preLeach
Man Costello looks good. Perfect fit.
Who knew that Costello would be the best QB to transfer into the SEC. Wait, maybe I said something about that before. But really who would have known after all the pre season hype about those Heisman candidates that went to Georgia. Does anybody else miss Jamie Newman
Give it a rest.
No shht…please give it a rest.
Cut him some slack Boxster. He’s basically working with only has one chopstick in the chow mein.
I’m wondering if Pickens is playing up to his salary lol
Cute
You really like that line, huh? You’ve used it a few times today so far.
He thinks it’s witty
Chill, just messing with you
Likewise
Why in the h*** is Mathis in the game again. Idc how much we’re up.That is a ridiculous move. I wanted the kid to succeed but he’s been awful. Bennett is no stud but we can score with him.
We may need Mathis. He needs the reps.
We need Daniels and Bennett as backup. I had high hopes for Mathis but this is the worst team we play and he’s been completely ineffective.
I’m not disagreeing with that but JT is not cleared. The game was in hand. Mathis needed the reps.
serious question, what happened to Beck
He’s a true freshman
Beck is a true freshman. Bennett is a Rs. Jr.
He needs the game reps???? Its a long season.
Yes. He needs the reps. I don’t know how long JT will be out. If Bennett is the starter vs Auburn don’t you want as many in game reps as possible for Mathis??
Well all of these comments aged well.
LOL
The puppies are in trouble. That offense won’t do anything against elite defenses. Their terrible. The defense is legit….but they won’t be able to win games on their own.
Predictable.
Perspective here. They took. A half to figure it out after losing their presumptive starting qb a couple of weeks ago and the presumptive replacement not being cleared.
Am I worked moving forward with the teams on the schedule? Sure. They won’t beat Bama with this effort and Auburn is a toss up so long as the defense shows up.
But the defense gave up 10 and the team scored 37 with the third string qb in and they’d have probably scored more had they not put the second string dude back in.
New system, qb crapshow, game 1…yeah there is work to be done, but then again, where was Florida’s defense?
Clearly Bama is still the SEC favorite. I didn’t see anything out of anyone in the east that changes that.
This was always going to be a learning experience even before the QB crapshow. If JT is healthy next week will be better. Beat Florida and we will get two cracks at Bama it looks like.
Let’s not read more into this. 37-10 with a new system and reps split between a backup ant 3rd string dude. What was the Gators margin of victory? Its week one. Survival was the name of the game. Ask LSU and OKlahoma. Everybody said the defense would need to show up and let the offense figure it out. Looks like that’s what happened. Hopefully it gets better but as a first effort, given all that has happened still a toss up in the east with Florida
Anyway, where is King Began?
This is spot on
