Trailing 14-3 at halftime against Spencer Rattler and South Carolina was about as shocking as any development of the weekend, but it didn’t take long into the second half for the Bulldogs to wake up and assert their dominance on the Gamecocks.

While this is just another game in which Georgia played down to an opponent for far too long, the Bulldogs are just too good when they realize it. They need to play the way they did in the second half for 60 minutes and no one would be able to come close.

Carson Beck has caught a lot of flack from fans but he woke up in the second half and got the Bulldogs in a good position to score on seemingly every drive. No major mistakes and just a solid overall game.

Georgia scored 21 straight points in the second half and really put things away in the fourth.

The Bulldogs will stay at No. 1 thanks to a huge second half.
