Georgia Football: Way-too-Early Game-by-Game Predictions for 2022
After beating a rival like Auburn, Georgia will get another SEC East game at home. Last season, the Bulldogs embarrassed Vanderbilt in Nashville and it looked like two different types of football were being played. Georgia was able to put 30 points in only the first quarter against the Commodores and could have put up over 100 if they felt like it.
Vanderbilt is doing some good things under head coach Clark Lea in terms of recruiting and identifying players for their program, but this is a long-term rebuilding project. Georgia wins in embarrassing fashion yet again.
Final Score: Georgia 56, Vanderbilt 10 (7-0, 4-0)
In one of the SEC’s marquee rivalries, Georgia will be looking to win another one over the Gators. Smart has only lost to the Gators twice and Georgia’s recent dominance over Florida on the recruiting trail and on the field led to the Gators making a coaching change. Billy Napier is now the coach in Gainesville after a successful tenure in Louisiana.
Napier is known as a bright offensive coach and tireless recruiter, but the Gators are probably going to have too many question marks on their roster for them to be able to compete with Georgia. The game will be closer than you might expect, but the Bulldogs will win this one and separate themselves once again in the SEC East.
Final Score: Georgia 34, Florida 21 (8-0, 5-0)
