One stat goes a long way toward explaining Georgia’s dominance this season

When the Georgia Bulldogs have the ball inside their opponents’ 20-yard line, they’ve been lethal this season.
In fact, the Dawgs have come away with points on every single drive in the red zone this year.
Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney seems to have his fingers on the right buttons for the Georgia offense, guiding them to 14 touchdowns and five field goals on 19 red-zone visits through five games:
Georgia OC Jim Chaney is dialing it up in the red zone. Dawgs are 19-for-19 with 14 touchdowns.

Obviously, coming away with points in the red zone is a necessity for any team that wants to be good, but the Bulldogs have managed to avoid turnovers and costly penalties when driving deep in opposing territory so far this year.
If they can keep up this incredible pace for the next few weeks, they could take a strong lead in the SEC East standings.
