The Georgia offense is having its way with the Vanderbilt defense. The Bulldogs are absolutely dominating every statistical category and the scoreboard.
Tight end Brock Bowers added to his freshman highlight reel by accomplishing something that had not been done by a UGA player since Todd Gurley in 2013. Bowers had both a rushing and receiving touchdown in the first quarter against Vandy:

It’s 38-0 UGA at the half in West End. The 5 touchdowns are divided up 3 rushing and 2 passing for the Georgia offense. In fact, Bowers wasn’t the only Dawg to have a rushing and receiving score in the first quarter. Ladd McConkey scored UGA’s fourth and fifth TDs on a 12-yard pass from JT Daniels and a 24-yard rush. The Bowers-McConkey show was briefly interrupted by Zamir White’s rushing score that made it 21-0.
