3. Georgia’s depth was too much

When Georgia jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, the Bulldogs used their offensive depth to smother the Razorbacks the rest of the game. The Bulldogs used their superior depth at running back to grind Arkansas’ defense for four quarters.

With J.T. Daniels out of this game with a lat injury, Georgia used their big, physical offensive line and their ridiculous running back depth to keep control of the game.

Georgia had four running backs with at least ten carries in this game. James Cook led the Bulldogs in yards (87), and Jamir White led the Bulldogs with 16 carries and two rushing touchdowns. Kenny McIntosh contributed 57 yards, and Kendall Milton had 48 yards and one touchdown.

The same could not be said about Arkansas’ defense. As the game wore on, it was evident that the Razorbacks did not have the defensive line depth to rotate linemen in and out to stay fresh to thwart Georgia’s running game.

Georgia showed their depth along the defensive line, rotating seven linemen in and out the entire game, keeping pressure on Razorbacks’ quarterback K.J. Jefferson. The way Georgia dominated the time of possession, they didn’t need to rotate linemen.
