it's a great day to be a GA dawg!

It's really a great day in Athens! Tonight's game against Auburn was awesome! I can truly say I can't remember the last time UGA played both halves with so much heart ❤!!
I was really happy to see Gurley back. I'm definitely a Gurley gurl, but, I may have to bring Chubbs in as my side-man😂
Gurley did injure his elbow I believe and also, something worth his leg.
The game was a good one to watch, that's for sure!!
Her are the stats from bleacher report.....
Georgia Bulldogs Grade Analysis

Passing Offense

Georgia's passing offense was stellar in the first half, but its receiving offense was atrocious. Hutson Mason threw several pretty deep balls, but Georgia targets failed to haul them in. Dropped passes kept points off the board on several occasions. As the game progressed the passing attack became less viable as Georgia's primary objective was to eat clock.



Rushing Offense

Todd Gurley's return was relatively anticlimactic in the first half, but he was solid on the ground and demonstrated tremendous patience and toughness. Both he and Chubb were on pace for 100-yard days at halftime. They both comfortably eclipsed that mark and Georgia ran for a total of 289 yards on the day.



Pass Defense

Georgia's pass defense was fantastic thanks in no small party to intense pressure throughout the first half. And it was nice to see the Bulldogs prevent a Hail Mary touchdown as the first half expired. In the second half, the pass defense gave a little more ground, but ultimately that was acceptable as Georgia remained tough against the run.



Run Defense

Georgia's defense wasn't constantly great but it was consistently good enough to keep Auburn's offense from gaining any momentum in the first half. Auburn had some success, but Georgia remained disciplined and swarmed with fervor. In the second half, Georgia was even more impressive against the run as Auburn desperately came up short time and time again.



Special Teams

A game-opening kickoff return was negated, but other than that Georgia's special teams play was stellar. Kick coverage was fine, field goals and extra points were clean and the Dawgs eve recovered a muffed punt.



Coaching

Head coach Mark Richt had Georgia prepared not only to win but to control the game. And despite giving up a score on the game's opening drive, Georgia did just that in the first half. The story for the second half was equally positive as all three phases of the game hit their stride for Georgia and the Bulldogs embarrassed a highly-touted rival.
