It didn’t take long for the Georgia Bulldogs to be ready for another big win on Saturday.
No. 1 Georgia pounced on Vanderbilt early on and scored four touchdowns in their first five drives for a 55–0 shutout win. The victory featured the Bulldogs’ return to form, relying on a balanced offensive offense and dominant defensive effort to build a sizable lead on Saturday when the Commodores never threatened.
Saturday’s four-quarter action had a lot to digest as the Bulldogs head into their bye week. Here’s what stood out from what happened at Sanford Stadium.

Georgia’s offenses against Kent State and Missouri, and even the first quarter against Auburn, justify fans’ disappointment. The Bulldogs have looked very under-formed in these games, and Golden has his own way of handing in his flushes and against the Tigers with turnovers that help opponents hang around much longer than expected. I put it in.
On Saturday, Bulldog fired and didn’t give up.
Georgia scored 28 points in the first half and another 27 points in the second half, including 21 in the final quarter of the game. By halftime, the game was decided as the Bulldogs took advantage often early on against his team, the Commodores, who looked like Clarke’s Lee’s improved product in his second year. rice field.
The Bulldogs’ offense was relentless on Saturday, with Georgia only making one punt at the end of the day. The defense held Vanderbilt down for most of the 60 minutes of action. Given the difference in talent on the two sidelines, it was close to what most people watching the match would have expected.
more balanced attack
What really struck me about Saturday’s performance by the offense was how Georgia attacked Vanderbilt.
The Bulldogs started the season very pass-heavy, but they were very balanced in action on Saturday. In the first half Georgia ran exactly his 20th and in 30 minutes he attempted 20 passes. During that time, Georgia averaged 4.2 yards per carry and 11.7 yards per completion. That balance was mostly maintained after the second half, with Georgia finishing the game with his 41 pass attempts and 38 runs.
It’s worth remembering that Saturday’s success was again against a team of Vanderbilt who are likely to finish under .500. Still, the ability to avoid being one-dimensional was valuable and allowed multiple different players to be involved.
defense to get through
Vanderbilt was no match for the Georgia defense on Saturday, but the most impressive part of the Bulldogs’ performance to me was how they never gave up.
Georgia had the game in hand by halftime, but the Bulldogs relented in the second half. The Bulldogs allowed Georgia to extend their lead further by forcing his fourth straight three-and-out in the second half.
Vanderbilt finished the game with 150 yards, but only gained 45 of them in the second half.
“[I’m] I’m proud of them,” says Georgia head coach kirby smart Talked about defense. “That team was outnumbered.
I think it would have been easy to expect Georgia to give up more plays in the second half, especially when the Bulldogs’ backups took the field. We continued to play at a high standard.
Other tight ends
We’ve talked about Georgia’s wealth at tight ends this season, but Saturday’s game was a perfect example of what the Bulldogs have to offer.

Darnell Washington put on a show with four receptions at 78 yards, Aric Gilbert Coming late, he had two receptions for 16 yards and a touchdown.
Washington has played a key role in Georgia’s offense heading into Saturday, but against Vanderbilt he shined and put on the show. Gilbert, on the other hand, was someone fans cautiously wanted to engage with, and they saw what he could bring to the table against the Commodore.
The No. 19 will play a bigger role in the upcoming games, but he sat in the back seat on Saturday with only a few drop-offs.
long awaited break
I imagine Smart and the rest of the staff breathing a collective sigh of relief as we enter our goodbye week.
Georgia are 7-0 and have a chance to reset and, more importantly, recover before the final five games of the regular season start. The Bulldogs have a number of players who need to recover before returning to the field on Oct. 29 against Florida. In other words, running back. Kendall Miltonwide receiver AD Mitchell, defensive tackle Jalen Carter and inside linebacker Sumael Mondon — and now they have the perfect opportunity to do just that.
It would be naive to assume that all of Georgia’s injured players will be back to 100% in a week, but now is the perfect time to recover and take everyone’s valuable steps before the game begins. The Bulldogs will continue to work hard, but the upside is that he won’t have another physical game ready for a week starting today.
