Georgia Football: Ranking Bulldogs’ 2020 opponents by toughness
Pick Analysis. player. 850. Scouting Report. Nov. 7. Columbia (S.C.). South Carolina Gamecocks. 6
Nothing much else needs to be said other than Georgia fans will have had this game circled on their calendars since the schedule was released and the Dawgs will be coming into this game highly motivated after losing at home to the Gamecocks in 2019.
William-Brice Stadium is a traditionally tough venue to play in, but the Bulldogs won in a blowout, 41-17, in the last meeting in Columbia.
This is a big season for head coach Will Muschamp and the Gamecocks. Last year’s 4-8 season was tough pill to swallow, but South Carolina fans are hoping that quarterback Ryan Hilinski is hoping to lead the Gamecocks back to a bowl game in 2020.
Because of the revenge factor, I think the Dawgs win this one in a blowout and keep marching towards another SEC East title.
833. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Nov. 21. Kentucky WIldcats. 5. Lexington (Ky.). player
In the last SEC matchup of the regular season, the Dawgs will travel to Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats, who hope that quarterback Terry Willson is back to full strength, so that the Wildcats don’t become as one-dimensional on offense as they did last season.
Mark Stoops has built a very respectable program at Kentucky and his teams have been known to play physical on the defensive side of the ball and the Wildcat defense gave the Dawgs all they could handle in Athens in 2019.
Kentucky has not beaten Georgia since 2009, when they got a win in Athens. That is a very long time and Wildcat fans know all about long losing streaks to rivals. I think that Kentucky will be a solid team in 2020, but the Bulldogs’ talent will overwhelm them and I do not think Kentucky can score enough to stay in this game long enough.
