Georgia throttled Missouri 53-28 on Saturday for its seventh win of the season.
The 7-0 Bulldogs are ranked No. 3 in the latest AP Poll, and have hardly been tested outside of a road trip to Notre Dame in Week 2.
They have dominated in a profound way against the SEC.
After yet another impressive performance in Week 7, head coach Kirby Smart announced on Twitter six players of the week for the ‘Dawgs.
Those players are quarterback Jake Fromm and running back Sony Michel on offense, linebacker Roquan Smith and nose tackle John Atkins on defense, and fullback Christian Payne and wide receiver Riley Ridley on special teams.
Clearly, it has been a team effort this season for the unbeaten Bulldogs. Georgia is on a much-needed bye this week as it prepares to take on Florida in Jacksonville on Oct. 28.
As Smart emphasized on Saturday, however, this won’t be an off week. It will be a “work week.”
