1. Georgia's dynamic offense explodes
Brock Bowers is just one element of an increasingly dynamic offensive attack that has shown more consistent flashes of greatness since narrow September victories over South Carolina and Auburn. In his first season as the starting quarterback, Carson Beck now appears fully comfortable and in command, while offensive coordinator Mike Bobo is pressing the right buttons at the right time after taking over for Todd Monken. Part of the Bulldogs' recent offensive surge is attributable to the reemergence of Ladd McConkey, who missed the first four games due to injury and was slowly worked back in from there. After hauling in four catches for 81 yards and a touchdown against Ole Miss, he's now totaled 17 catches for 311 yards and two touchdowns in his last three games.
The Dawgs also put their balance on display against the Rebels with Daijun Edwards and Kendall Milton thriving on the ground. The team's 300 yards rushing were its most of the season, and the first half offered a striking example of how lethal Georgia is at its best. UGA scored touchdowns on its first four possessions, covering 60 or more yards on each drive, while giving the Rebels no chance to generate momentum. When it was all said and done, UGA had punted just once.
