Georgia decided to keep quarterback JT Daniels arm in the bag vs. South Carolina and so far, it’s working as the Bulldogs take a 28-10 lead into halftime in Columbia.
UGA has rushed 23 times for 208 yards and junior running back James Cook looks incredible so far with five carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns – 20 yards per carry.
The Bulldogs rushed for eight yards vs. Mississippi State last week
Part of the reason for such a low total was how explosive the passing game was behind quarterback JT Daniels as he passed for 401 yards and four touchdowns.
The other reason was Georgia couldn’t get a push on a struggling Mississippi State defense.
Tonight vs. South Carolina, the story has been completely different, especially on the Bulldogs front, which is creating gaping holes for these Georgia running backs.
Just check out these stats from ‘running back U’.
- Junior RB James Cook (5 carries, 98 yards, 2 TDs)
- Sophomore RB Zamir White (11 carries, 75 yards, 1 TD)
- Kenny McIntosh (5 carries, 53 yards)
Granted South Carolina is missing four defensive starters to opt-outs and their leading pass rusher JJ Enagbare due to COVID testing, so Georgia has a huge advantage in the depth department.
Still, it’s nice to see this Bulldogs run game come back to life.
