No. 1 Georgia moves to 4-0 with an ugly 39-22 win at home versus Kent State.

The Golden Flashes forced three UGA turnovers and put up 22 points, the most given up by the Bulldogs since Alabama’s 41 points in the 2021 SEC Championship game.

Quarterback Stetson Bennett completed 27 of 36 passes for 272 yards and threw his first interception of the season. ‘The Mailman’ added a score on the ground. Redshirt sophomore receiver Ladd McConkey struggled mightily with a muffed punt, a lost fumble and three drops. McConkey finished with six catches for 65 yards. The Dawgs were exposed in run defense at times. Kent State scored the first rushing touchdown the Bulldogs have given up this season and racked up 93 yards on the ground.

Georgia had several bright spots. Tight end Brock Bowers ran for a 75-yard touchdown and a two-yard score, while adding five catches for 60 yards. Running back Daijun Edwards finished as the team’s second-leading rusher behind Bowers with 12 carries for 73 yards, and safety safety Christopher Smith nabbed his second interception of the season, the only Kent State turnover.

Here’s how UGA Twitter is reacting to the tough day in Athens.
