Georgia Bulldogs

Louisiana Lafayette 21 – Georgia 35

All three phrases of Georgia’s team showed up in the first quarter Saturday, as the Bulldogs had a rushing touchdown, interception and punt return for a touchdown. Isaiah McKenzie had a huge day. Georgia jumped out to a 21-0 lead and did enough to hang on.

As a side note, though, Anthony Jennings reminded us he couldn’t play SEC football. The former LSU quarterback threw three interceptions, and no touchdowns.

Impact Moving Forward

-None

Year one of Smart has been nothing. A huge win against Auburn gave Bulldogs encouragement, but this year hasn’t seen any huge differences for Georgia football.

Whether or not the investment in Smart was worth it will be seen over the next few years. After one season, though, nothing feels or seems different.

Don’t forget, however, that Smart started a true freshman quarterback all season. He’ll be back next year, and Georgia could be on the way to something special.

Then again.

We’ve also heard that every year, though.
