The Georgia Bulldogs have been absolutely shredded by Kyle Trask and the Florida Gators during the first half. Florida will take a 38-21 halftime lead that should be an insurmountable deficit for the Bulldogs.
Georgia’s defense performed well to start, but has been Swiss cheese since the opening drive. Florida quarterback Kyle Trask has four touchdowns in the first half, while UGA quarterback Stetson Bennett has four completions.
It is apparent that the Bulldogs won’t be able to make a comeback with their passing game. Eric Stokes did record on pick-six on Trask. That’s the Dawgs’ lone score since opening the game with a 14-0 lead.
Florida outscored Georgia 38-7 since the opening minutes. Georgia has been unable to slow down the game on the offensive end, recording numerous three and outs, which haven’t all been Stetson Bennett’s fault.
UGA tight end John FitzPatrick had a key drop after Florida took a 28-21 lead. Georgia would’ve gained about twenty yards on the wide-open play.
Additionally, Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken has dialed up some wide open deep shots, but Stetson Bennett has missed these throws by several yards.
Georgia’s defense has failed to pressure Kyle Trask, who has sat back and picked his favorite match-up against the Georgia secondary. He often finds open targets against linebackers, who have to travel massive swaths of turf to cover a skill position player or against Tyson Campbell, who hasn’t been able to turn his head on several chuck plays.
In defense of the UGA defense, they are missing several starters and haven’t gotten much help from the offense (14 offensive points in the first half).
