left by key contributors and continue improvements from the previous season. Georgia is returning 16 starters – seven on offense,
six on defense and three on special teams.
Here is a look at this year’s Bulldogs:

with the absence of Ray Drew, Mike Thornton and Toby Johnson.
However, several key playmakers are back.
Both returning ends, Sterling Bailey (6-3, 280, Sr.) and
Josh Dawson (6-4, 266, Sr.), played in every game of 2014 and set
themselves up for big senior campaigns. Bailey tallied 27 tackles
last season. Dawson had 17 tackles, including a sack and four for
ORVV+LVÀQHVWPRPHQWFDPHLQWKHIRUPRIDIXPEOHUHFRYHU\IRU
a touchdown in the Tennessee game.
The Bulldogs will also see the return of nose guard Chris
Mayes (6-4, 317, Sr.) and tackle John Atkins (6-4, 299, RSo.). Atkins recorded nine tackles and a pass breakup in his 10 appearances last year, while Mayes added seven and one for a loss in his
eight outings.
The line will see a boost with the addition of young Bulldogs in 2015. Two of those will participate in spring drills. Michael Barnett (6-4, 255, Fr.) is a four-star defensive end and Jonathan Ledbetter (6-4, 265, Fr.) is a four-star defensive tackle, both
of whom arrived in January as early enrollees.

defense.
Leonard Floyd (64, 230, Jr.) proved
to be a pass-rushing threat with a
team-best six sacks
among his 55 stops.
He also had 17 quarterback hurries and three forced fumbles.
Lorenzo Carter (6-6, 237, So.) quickly emerged as a top
player for the Bulldogs with his 41 tackles, including seven for
a loss and 4.5 sacks. Davin Bellamy (6-5, 240, RSo.) and James
DeLoach (6-3, 276, Sr.) also added strength to Georgia’s defensive
attack during the 2014 season.
INSIDE LINEBACKERS
Georgia lost two of its defensive centerpieces in Amarlo
Herrera and Ramik Wilson. They led the team in tackles and received All-SEC honors. Also, special teams standout Kosta Vavlas has graduated. Therefore, the returning lettermen, along with
a host of early enrollees, will look to impress the coaches in hopes
of a starting nod come fall.
Tim Kimbrough (6-0, 230, Jr.) is the only returner to have
played in all 13 games last season. He led the backups with 32
tackles. Reggie Carter (6-1, 231, Jr.) and Ryne Rankin (6-1, 215,
Jr.) each saw time in 12 games. Carter tallied 28 stops and Rankin,
who was a mainstay on special teams for Georgia, had six.

Swann, Quincy Mauger (6-0, 199, Jr.) had 51 tackles and co-led
the team with four interceptions, fourth-best in the conference.
Also returning in the safety spot is Dominick Sanders (6-0, 187,

freshman season, playing in all 13 games and recording 34 stops,
three interceptions and a 54-yard fumble recovery. Terry had six
stops and an interception in 2014.
Devin Bowman (6-0, 179, Sr.), Malkom Parrish (5-10,

Georgia rounds out its class of early enrollees with Jonathan Abram (6-1, 202, Fr.) and Jarvis Wilson (6-2, 197, Fr.). Both
will work into the rotation in spring drills.
SPECIALISTS
The Bulldogs return three key starters on special teams
this spring, all of whom have contributed for several years. MarVKDOO0RUJDQ6UÀQLVKHGWKHVHDVRQKLWWLQJRI

Courson (5-11, 189, So.) will look to work themselves into the
mix during spring drills.
Thanks to the Bulldog’s high-octane offense, Collin Barber (6-2, 208, Jr.) and then senior Adam Erickson were not called
on to punt often. Although they split time at the position, Barber
accounted for 34 of Georgia’s 43 punts in 2014 and averaged 39.3
yards per punt. Thirteen of his punts resulted in fair catches, and

2015 Bulldog Spring Storylines
New Leader On Offense
Georgia led the SEC and was eighth nationally in Scoring at 41.3 points a game in 2014.
With the departure of offensive coordinator Mike Bobo to become the head coach at Colorado
State, the Bulldogs hired Brian Schottenheimer from the St. Louis Rams in January 2015 to lead
the offense. Bobo took over the Bulldogs’ play calling at the end of the 2006 season and was
named the offensive coordinator before the 2007 season.
Veteran Offensive Line, New Coach
The Bulldogs return four starters on the offensive line from a squad that won 10 games
and averaged 257.8 rushing yards per game, which led the SEC and ranked 11th nationally last
year. LT John Theus, LG Brandon Kublanow, RG Greg Pyke and RT Kolton Houston are all
expected in Georgia’s lineup after only three-year starting C David Andrews graduated. Isaiah
Wynn and Dyshon Sims will also provide depth after earning playing time last year as true freshmen. The unit will be led by new offensive line coach Rob Sale. Sale replaces Will Friend who

There have been two constants at the top of the defensive statistic pages over the last
two seasons in ILBs Ramik Wilson and Amarlo Herrera. The 2014 seniors combined for 470
tackles over the last two years, including Wilson’s SEC-leading 133 stops in 2013 and Herrera’s
team-leading 115 tackles last year. Reggie Carter and Tim Kimbrough were backups for the

Georgia Tech and hold a 64-38-5 edge in the overall series.
Dogs In The Super Bowl
For the 14th consecutive year, Georgia had at least one former player in the Super Bowl. The
Bulldogs and LSU have the SEC’s longest streak of a former player being on a team that advanced to
the Super Bowl. This year it was Demarcus Dobbs for the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks. Additionally, former Bulldog Travis Jones is on the Seahawks staff as an assistant coach. Dobbs has been
in the league four years and been in two Super Bowls, including with the San Francisco 49ers in the
2014 Super Bowl. The last Bulldog to be on a Super Bowl championship team was Chris Clemons
in 2014. Georgia is the only school to have produced three Super Bowl MVPs: S Jake Scott, Miami,
SB VII; RB Terrell Davis, Denver, SB XXXII; WR Hines Ward, Pittsburgh, SB XL.

Quarterback Battle To Watch
All eyes will be on the quarterbacks this spring after senior Hutson Mason
graduated and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Mike Bobo left to be the
head coach at Colorado State. Brian Schottenheimer was hired in January from
the St. Louis Rams to take over Georgia’s offense and coach the quarterbacks.
The quarterback corps include redshirt sophomore Brice RamseyMXQLRUFaton Bauta and redshirt freshman Jacob Park. Ramsey served as the primary
backup last year, appearing in eight games and was 24-of-39 for 333 for three
touchdowns and two interceptions. He played the entire second half in leading
Georgia to a victory over #20 Louisville in the Belk Bowl after Mason was sidelined. Bauta has appeared in six career games over the last two seasons. He is
4-for-5 for 48 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Plus, Bauta has 10
rushes for 46 yards and two scores. Park ran the scout team all of last year. He
provides the Bulldogs with a different look under center with his mobility.
This will be the second straight year Georgia will have a new starting quarterback under center. Mason took over in 2014 following Aaron Murray, who
became an SEC record holder as a starter from 2010-13. Murray had four straight
seasons of 3,000 yards passing.

Looking For Leaders At Receiver
Georgia’s top returning options at receiver include senior Malcolm Mitchell, along with sophomore tight end Jeb Blazevich and sophomore tailback Nick
Chubb. The senior duo of Michael Bennett and Chris Conley combined for 73
catches, 1,061 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014. Mitchell aims for a full season
after appearing in nine games with three starts last year. He missed almost all of
ZLWKDNQHHLQMXU\/DVWVHDVRQ0LWFKHOOKDGFDWFKHVIRU\DUGVDQG
three touchdowns.
The coming season will provide an opportunity for a bigger roll for sophomore Isaiah McKenzieMXQLRUReggie DavisDQGMXQLRUKenneth Towns, who all
had six catches each last year. Junior Blake Tibbs, senior Justin Scott-Wesley
and sophomore Shakenneth Williams will also be in the mix at receiver this year.
Along with Blazevich, Georgia is well-stocked at tight end with the return of senior Jay Rome and redshirt sophomore Jordan Davis.

Jake Ganus (UAB). Ganus comes to the Bulldogs as a senior transfer after leading the Blazers with 70 tackles, including 16.5 tackles for loss and six sacks, in
2014. Ganus tallied 156 stops playing a prominent role on the UAB defense as a
freshman and sophomore in 2012-13.

scored four of those touchdowns and three of the four Georgia defenders who
scored return (senior DE Josh Dawson - fumble recovery vs. Tennessee; senior
DB Devin Bowman - 63-yard interception return vs. Vanderbilt; sophomore DB
Dominick Sanders - 54-yard fumble return vs. Arkansas; 2014 senior STAR
Damian Swann - 99-yard fumble return).
A position to keep an eye on would be the defensive front. Georgia lost
captain Mike Thornton and Ray Drew, along with Toby Johnson, from last year’s
squad. Senior Sterling Bailey returns to the lineup after recording 27 tackles last
year and is the only veteran with extensive experience. He has played in 29 games
with 10 starts. In addition, senior Josh Dawson has appeared in 38 games with

2014 Review Of The Defense
Morgan Moving Up Record Books
The Bulldogs allowed 20.7 points/game. Georgia posted a pair of shutouts
(Troy, @ #23 Missouri), held Missouri out of the Red Zone and kept then #9 Auburn to seven points and one trip to the Red Zone (drive ended in an interception).
Missouri, the SEC East champion, was shut out by the Bulldogs in Columbia. This

Georgia held Auburn to a season-low seven points (which came on its opening
drive), and it was the fewest overall in a game during Gus Malzahn’s two years
at the helm. Only four teams, including Auburn, had scored at least 20 points in
every game since the 2013 season. Coming into the game, the Tigers were third in
the SEC and 13th nationally at 38.7 points per game.
Georgia’s defensive staff underwent a complete overhaul following the 2013

Bulldogs have an entirely new defensive staff.
The Bulldog defense allowed only 19 points on 13 Georgia turnovers. For
example, Kentucky recovered a fumble at the Georgia 23 yard line. The Wildcats

Georgia leading 55-3. The Yellow Jackets managed to scored seven points off a
pair of Bulldog fumbles on the Georgia Tech 1-yard line and an interception in
overtime. Georgia responded to one of the two fumble recoveries with a blocked

a fumble but failed to turn the pair of turnovers into any points.
Junior PK Marshall Morgan DORQJZLWKMXQLRU3Collin Barber have served
as the primary specialists since 2012. Morgan has a chance to end his career as
Georgia’s all-time scoring leader.
Currently, Morgan ranks fourth in school history with 315 points. The Georgia
record is 412 set by Blair Walsh (seventh nationally all-time). Morgan (177) is
closing in on the Bulldog career PAT mark held by Walsh (184).
Morgan led the SEC in 2014 for scoring with 115 points. He is the 11th BullGRJWRFODLPDQ6(&VFRULQJWLWOHÀUVWVLQFH%UDQGRQ&RXWX0RUJDQVHWWKH

In the Georgia Tech game, he had an eventful performance featuring six points, a

In his career, Barber has punted 123 times for 5,103 yards (average of 41.5).
Twice in 2014, the Bulldogs did not have to punt in a game (@ Kentucky, vs.

Aiming For Better Returns
Dog Duo Delays NFL Plans
Senior OLB Jordan JenkinsDQGMXQLRU2/%Leonard Floyd made the decision to return to the Bulldogs instead of bolting for the NFL. These decisions
immediately bolstered Georgia’s backbone on the defense for the coming years.
Both were considered early round picks, but will now serve as the Bulldogs leading
linebackers. Jenkins is the top returning tackler with 70 tackles, including 9.5 tackOHVIRUORVVDQGÀYHVDFNVDQGÀQLVKHGZLWKDWHDPKLJKTXDUWHUEDFNSUHVVXUHV

"VHt4BOGPSE4UBEJVN"UIFOT(B
"5)&/4(BThe No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs handed the No. 16 Clemson Tigers a
45-21 loss in front of an electric Sanford Stadium crowd of 92,746 and a nationally televised
ESPN audience on Saturday, Aug. 30 in Athens, Ga. Georgia improves to 91-27-3 in season
openers including 11-3 under Mark Richt. The Bulldogs now lead the series over Clemson
42-18-4. Georgia is 3-2 against the Tigers when both are ranked in the top 20. The Bulldogs
are now 53-10 against non-conference teams including 37-1 at home under Richt.
Todd Gurley had a record-setting performance for the Bulldogs, totaling 293 all-purpose
yards and four touchdowns to lead the team offensively. Gurley rushed for 198 net yards,
his 14th 100-yard rushing game. He also became only the second Bulldog with a 100-yard
kickoff return for a touchdown (Gurley also had one vs. Buffalo in 2012 and Brandon Boykin
had three in his career).
Hutson Mason led the passing attack for Georgia, going 18-for-26 for 131 yards. He
also rushed for a touchdown. Michael Bennett was his top target, collecting 60 yards on five
catches. Making their debuts for the Bulldogs, Sony Michel finished with 33 yards on the
ground, while Nick Chubb added 70 yards and a touchdown on four carries.
Clemson took a 7-0 lead on the first drive of the game, going 70 yards and converting
on fourth down for the score.
The Bulldogs answered on their second drive of the game. Georgia used a balanced
attack through the air and on the ground to go 57 yards in only 1:13. Gurley rushed 23 yards
to the end zone for the touchdown. Marshall Morgan’s extra point kick was good, tying the
game at 7-7.
After a smothering Georgia defensive stand that included a sack of Clemson quarterback Cole Stoudt, the Bulldogs took a 14-7 lead with less than a minute to play in the first
quarter on a two-yard touchdown run by Mason.
Clemson responded with a pair of touchdowns that allowed it to take a 21-14 lead.
The first score came on a 30-yard pass from Deshaun Watson to Charone Peake with 13:52
left in the first half. The Tigers took the lead on a one-yard touchdown run by C.J. Davidson.
After taking the lead, the Tigers kicked off to Gurley who was back deep for the Bulldogs. Gurley then tied a school-record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that
made it a 21-21 game.
Clemson looked to take the lead with 48 seconds left in the second quarter, attempting
a 34-yard field goal that sailed wide left. The teams headed into the locker room tied at
halftime.
Georgia opened the second half with a 10-play, 57-yard drive that was capped off by
a 27-yard field goal by Morgan. The Bulldogs took a 24-21 lead, and that score remained
throughout the third quarter.
In Georgia’s first drive of the fourth quarter, Gurley rushed for 58 of the 82 yards during
the drive. Gurley capped off the drive with an 18-yard rush up the middle that gave Georgia
a 10-point lead at 31-21 with just over 10 minutes left in the game.
The Georgia defense continued to stymie the Tiger offense, as the ensuing possession
saw Clemson post negative yardage, forcing it to punt and giving Georgia the ball at the 47.
Riding the momentum, Chubb took the first play of the drive 47 yards into the end zone
for his first career touchdown that put Georgia up 38-21.
After another three-and-out by the Tigers, Gurley took the handoff from Mason and
rushed 51 yards for his fourth touchdown of the game.
The Bulldogs maintained possession for the final 5:24 of the game to seal the 45-21
win.

“It was a great second half. 21-21 in the first half and both teams were flying
around, wanting to win. It was a game of momentum, and I think by far the biggest
play was the kickoff return for a touchdown. It just got us back in it. We put our
very best players on special teams and it paid off.”
tJunior Marshall Morgan’s 27-yard field goal tied the SEC record with 18 consecutive field goals made in his career. He tied former Tennessee PK Fuad
Reveiz for the league’s all-time mark.
tGeorgia is now 91-27-3 in season openers including an 11-3 mark under Mark
Richt. The Bulldogs now lead the series over Clemson 42-18-4. Georgia is 3-2
against the Tigers when both are ranked in the top 20.
tThe Bulldogs shut out the Tigers in the second half, allowing Clemson to gain
only 15 yards and no points on 22 plays.
tSix first-time starters took the field for the Bulldogs. Senior N Mike Thornton,
freshman CB Dominick Sanders and redshirt freshman S Aaron Davis started on defense. Redshirt sophomore OG Greg Pyke, sophomore OG Brandon
Kublanow and senior FB Taylor Maxey got the nod on offense.
tRedshirt freshman S Aaron Davis recorded his first career interception for the
Bulldogs midway through the second quarter.
tJunior punter Collin Barber had five punts for 45.5 yards with three inside the
20 and a long of 60 yards.
tCaptains for the game were seniors Hutson Mason (QB), David Andrews
(C) and Kosta Vavlas (ILB) and junior Sterling Bailey (DE).

$0-6.#*"4$The No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs fell to the No. 24 South Carolina Gamecocks
35-38 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C., on Saturday, Sept. 13, in front of a sellout crowd of
84,232 and a nationally televised CBS audience. Georgia drops to 1-1 (0-1 SEC) on the season, while
South Carolina improves to 2-1 (1-1). The loss moves Georgia to 47-17-2 in the all-time series against
the Gamecocks and marks the third straight game in which the Bulldogs have fallen in Columbia. Georgia last won at Williams-Brice in 2008.
Junior tailback Todd Gurley posted his 15th career 100-yard rushing game with a 20-attempt, 131yard rushing effort on the evening. Gurley had a long of 40 yards and found his way into the end zone
on a 2-yard run in the third quarter. Senior quarterback Hutson Mason led the passing attack for Georgia
and went 16 of 22 for 191 yards and two touchdowns. Senior Chris Conley led all Bulldog receivers with
four receptions for 49 yards.
South Carolina received the ball to start the game and embarked on a 9-play, 75-yard drive that
culminated in a 10-yard touchdown pass from Dylan Thompson to wide receiver Shaq Roland. Georgia
then took just two plays to tie things up 7-7 at the 10:02 mark. Senior quarterback Hutson Mason hit
freshman Isaiah McKenzie for a 36-yard gain before finding freshman running back Sony Michel on an
underneath route for a 33-yard touchdown.
A South Carolina fumble on the ensuing drive then gifted Georgia possession at the Gamecocks’
26-yard line but the Bulldogs were forced to settle for a 36-yard Marshall Morgan field goal as they
took a 10-7 lead midway through the first quarter. The field goal set an SEC record for most consecutive
field goals made.
The Bulldogs thought they had forced another turnover on South Carolina’s next offensive series,
but a Devin Bowman interception was negated by a pass interference call on the third-year defensive
back. Thompson found Pharoh Cooper just three plays later for an 8-yard touchdown pass that gave the
Gamecocks a 14-10 lead. Georgia then scored a 26-yard field goal on their next possession.
Up 14-13, Thompson led the Gamecocks on a 10-play, 75-yard drive that was capped-off by an
18-yard touchdown pass to Rory Anderson with 5:34 remaining in the first half. After Morgan missed
his first field goal in 21 straight attempts on Georgia’s next possession, South Carolina moved into field
goal range and used a 32-yard kick by Elliott Fry to take a 24-13 lead into the break.
Georgia received to start the second half and used a heavy dose of Gurley to quickly move the ball
into South Carolina territory. The junior tailback ripped off a 40-yard run and converted a fourth-andone before punching the ball into the end zone on a 2-yard rush to cut the Gamecocks’ lead to 24-20.
The Georgia defense was unable to make a stop on South Carolina’s next possession, though, as the
Gamecocks’ regained their 11-point advantage through a Thompson touchdown run with 5:07 left to
play in the third.
After punts by both teams, Georgia moved the ball inside the South Carolina 10-yard line. Mason
then found Jay Rome for a 5-yard touchdown pass and used a completion to Michael Bennett on the
subsequent two-point conversion to cut the Gamecocks’ lead to 31-28 with 14:55 to play.
A long return by Shon Carson on the resulting kickoff set the Gamecocks up at their own 42 to start
a touchdown drive that culminated in a 24-yard touchdown run by Brandon Wilds. With South Carolina
up 38-28 at the 13:01 mark, the Bulldogs used a series of rushes by Quayvon Hicks to move into opposition territory and cross the goal line from a yard out on their next drive. The 11-play, 75-yard drive took
5:51 off the clock and put the score at 38-35.
The Georgia defense then got the turnover it so desperately needed when Damian Swann picked
off Thompson on third-and-10 at the Gamecocks’ 24 and returned the interception all the way to the
South Carolina 6-yard line. However, the Bulldogs could not capitalize on offense and Morgan missed his potential game-tying kick just inches wide of the upright.
South Carolina then used a key conversion on fourth-and-inches at the 49 yard line to run out the
remaining 1:26 of the clock and hold on for the 38-35 win.

"5)&/4(BThe No. 13/14 Georgia Bulldogs handed the Troy Trojans a 66-0 loss in front of
92,746 fans and a televised SEC Network audience on Saturday, September 20, at Sanford Stadium in
Athens, Ga. The Bulldogs are now 2-1 on the year, while Troy falls to 0-4 on the year. The win marked
the first time that Georgia has scored more than 60 points in a game since 2011 against New Mexico
State.
Sony Michel had a career day, rushing for 155 yards on 10 carries and three touchdowns, averaging 15.5 yards per carry. Todd Gurley finished with 73 yards on six carries in limited time on the
field. Hutson Mason went 8-for-12 for 97 yards and two touchdowns to lead the passing attack. Brice
Ramsey and Faton Bauta each saw action in the game, combining for 83 yards and two touchdowns.
Michael Bennett finished with three catches for 34 yards and two touchdowns, while Chris Conley
added 58 yards on two catches. Jordan Jenkins led the team defensively, totaling five tackles, including
three solo stops and 1.5 tackles for loss.
On the opening drive, Troy went all the way to the Georgia nine-yard line, but the defense held,
forcing Troy to attempt a field goal, which sailed wide. On the ensuing drive, Gurley took the ball 70
yards on four carries, setting the Bulldogs up at the Troy 10-yard line. Michel took it the rest of the
way, picking up 10 yards on two carries for the touchdown that gave Georgia a 7-0 lead after Marshall
Morgan’s extra point.
Troy got the ball back, but promptly turned it over on the first play of the drive. Rico Johnson forced
the fumble, which was recovered by Aaron Davis. Davis returned the ball 11 yards to the Troy 27.
Georgia stretched the lead to 14-0 on a Mason pass to Kenneth Towns.
The Bulldogs extended their lead to 21-0 on a two play, 83-yard drive that took just 33 seconds. On
the first play of the drive, Michel raced 75 yards down the sideline. Michel got the call again, hammering up the middle for eight yards and the score. Georgia added a field goal at the start of the second
quarter, a 37 yarder by Marshall Morgan that made it a 24-0 game.
The Georgia defense forced a three-and-out on the next Troy drive, resulting in a 34-yard punt
that was returned 52 yards for a touchdown by Isaiah McKenzie that put the Bulldogs up 31-0. It was
the first punt returned for a touchdown since Brandon Boykin accomplished the feat in 2012 against
Michigan State in the Outback Bowl.
Michel added his third touchdown of the game on Georgia’s next drive. Mason began the drive
with a sideline passes to Shakenneth Williams that set the Bulldogs up at the Troy 32. Michel finished
the drive with a pair of rushes for 18 yards and a touchdown that made it a 38-0 game.
Troy put together a nine play, 40-yard drive but turned it over on downs after a failed fourth down
conversion. Ramsey came in under center on the ensuing drive and orchestrated an eight-play, 61-yard
drive that took 2:36 off the clock and put Georgia up 45-0. Ramsey’s first career completion went to
Conley for 19 yards. He found Conley again three plays later for a 39-yard completion that gave Georgia
a first down at the Troy three. After a penalty moved Georgia back to the six-yard line, Ramsey connected with Bennett for a six-yard touchdown that extended the lead to 45-0.
Georgia made it a 52-0 game on the opening drive of the second half. Michel set up in the wildcat
and handed the ball to McKenzie, who took it 49 yards to the Troy 26. Three plays later, Mason tossed
a 10-yard touchdown to Bennett that made it a 51-0 game.
Troy threatened on its second possession of the second half. Troy marched down to the Georgia
10-yard line before Tramel Terry picked off Dontreal Pruitt in the end zone. It was the first career interception for Terry and the second turnover by the Georgia defense in the game.
Bauta led the team on a pair of touchdown drives in the fourth quarter. The first was an eight-play,
62 yard drive that took 4:13 and made it a 59-0 game. Brendan Douglas was the leading rusher on the
drive, picking up 33 yards on four carries before Bauta scored on a seven-yard run. Bauta again found
the end zone with 6:18 left in the game, giving Georgia a 66-0 lead.

“The greatest thing that happened today was the play on both the offensive and
defensive lines. The offensive line created space for the runners and gave the
quarterbacks time to throw. The defensive line took care of business and made it
hard for them to run the ball. It was a really good performance.”
tThe Bulldogs’ 66-0 win over Troy is the most points for Georgia since 1994
when it beat Northeast Louisiana 70-6. The margin of victory of 66 is the most
since 1958 when the Bulldogs blanked Citadel 76-0. Georgia’s last shutout
came during a 38-0 win at Auburn in 2012.
tGeorgia tallied 367 rushing yards, the most in the Richt era.
tFreshman receiver Isaiah McKenzie ran back a punt 52 yards for a touchdown
to put Georgia up 31-0 at the 10:48 mark in the second quarter. This was
the Bulldogs’ first punt return for a score since Brandon Boykin ran 92 yards
against Michigan State in the 2012 Outback Bowl.
tGeorgia now holds a +4 turnover margin on the year and has converted those
miscues into 10 points.
tEleven Georgia players hit the field for the first time against Troy. Freshman TE
Jeb Blazevich got his first career start.
tBoth Georgia and Troy ran 61 plays, but the Bulldogs put up 547 yards to

in front of a sold out crowd of 92,746 and a nationally televised ESPN audience in Athens, Ga., on Saturday, Sept. 27. The Bulldogs are now 3-1 on the year and 1-1 in the Southeastern Conference. Tennessee
is now 2-2 on the year and 0-1 in the SEC.
Todd Gurley led the Bulldogs on the ground, rushing for 208 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. The game marked the 16th 100-yard rushing game for Gurley, which ties for fourth most in Georgia
history. He recorded his 32nd rushing touchdown of his career. Nick Chubb finished the game with
32 yards on 11 carries. Hutson Mason led the Bulldogs with 147 yards on 16-for-25 passing. Michael

Tennessee scored on its first two possessions of the game, jumping out to an early 10-0 lead.
On the opening drive, the Vols drove 43 yards on nine plays but settled for a 46-yard field goal that put
them up 3-0. Tennessee scored on its next drive on a one-yard touchdown run by Jalen Hurd that made
it a 10-0 game.
After a tackle of a loss and a sack, the Bulldogs forced Tennessee to punt with just over two minutes left in the first quarter. Isaiah McKenzie fielded the punt and returned it 29 yards to the Tennessee
32. Georgia needed just four plays to go 32 yards. Gurley took the ball 16 yards on the first play of the
drive before Mason found Bennett for seven yards. After a six-yard run by Gurley, Mason rushed three

the touchdown run of one yard that made gave Georgia a 14-10 lead.
On their next drive, the Bulldogs went 81 yards on 11 plays that resulted in a touchdown extending
the Georgia lead to 21-10. Georgia went with a healthy mix of run and pass plays that allowed them
to convert five first downs. Facing 2nd-and-11 at the Tennessee 20, Mason found Chubb out of the
backfield for his first career reception. Chubb’s catch went for the touchdown that put Georgia up 21-10.
Tennessee cut the lead to 21-17 with seven-play, 83-yard drive that took just under a minute. Hurd

Tennessee responded on the ensuing drive with a 52-yard drive that was capped off by a 31-yard
touchdown pass to Pig Howard. The Vols then went for two and got it to make it a 28-25 game.
The Vols got the ball back with 4:38 left on the clock after Colin Barber sent a punt deep into Tennessee territory that was down at the one. Two plays later, the handoff was fumbled and recovered by
Josh Dawson in the end zone for a touchdown that put Georgia up 35-25.
Tennessee answered with a seven-play, 58-yard scoring drive that brought it within three at 35-32.

"5)&/4(BThe No. 13 Georgia football team took a 44-17 win over the Vanderbilt Commodores in front of 92,746 fans and a SEC Network televised audience on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Sanford
Stadium in Athens, Ga. With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 4-1 overall that includes a 2-1 mark in
Southeastern Conference play. Vanderbilt dropped to 1-5 on the year and 0-4 in league play.
Hutson Mason finished with 121 yards and two touchdowns on 11-for-17 passing. Chris Conley
was his top target in the end zone, catching both of Mason’s touchdown passes. Jeb Blazevich finished
with 86 yards on three catches. Todd Gurley led Georgia’s rushing attack, finishing with 163 yards and
two touchdowns on 25 touches. He also had 24 receiving yards and completed a 50-yard pass, the first
of his career. Nick Chubb finished with 78 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.
Amarlo Herrera finished with a team-best nine tackles, including four solo stops. Jordan Jenkins
added seven tackles while Leonard Floyd had four tackles, including one sack. Devin Bowman produced
the lone turnover of the game, intercepting a pass and returning it for a touchdown.
It did not take long for the Bulldogs to take the lead, moving ahead to 7-0 on the opening drive.
The seven-play, 62-yard drive took 2:16 and was capped off by a five-yard touchdown run by Gurley. The
drive was highlighted by a 12-yard pickup by Gurley and a 20-yard reception by Blazevich.
Georgia made it a 14-0 game with just over two minutes left in the first quarter. After a 16-yard
completion to Blazevich gave Georgia a first down at the Vanderbilt 45 yard line, Gurley took a screen
pass for 15 yards before rushing for 27 yards and a touchdown on consecutive touches. With the 14yard scoring run, Gurley became just the fourth player in Georgia history to rush for at least 3,000 yards.
After forcing Vanderbilt to go three-and-out, the Bulldogs took over at the Vanderbilt 44 yard line
with 1:34 left in the first quarter. On the first play of the drive, Mason found Chris Conley in the middle
of the end zone for the touchdown that put the Bulldogs up 21-0.
The Commodores got on the board with 6:49 left in the first half. Stephen Rivers led the team on a
seven-play, 66-yard drive that was capped off by a one-yard touchdown run by Ralph Webb that made
it a 21-7 game.
Two drives later, the Bulldogs put together an 80-yard touchdown drive. The drive was kick started
by a 50-yard, left-handed pass from Gurley to Blazevich that set Georgia up with 1st-and-10 at the
Vanderbilt 27. After a nine-yard run, Mason and Conley connected for their second touchdown of the
day that sent the Bulldogs into the locker room holding a 27-7 lead.
On the opening drive of the second half, Vanderbilt intercepted a Mason pass and returned it 35
yards to the Georgia 24. The Bulldogs held the Commodores to a 34-yard field goal that made it a 27-10
lead with just over 11 minutes left in the third quarter.
Vanderbilt looked poised to answer on the ensuing drive, moving the ball down to the Georgia
29. But Bowman picked off Rivers and returned the interception 63 yards for the touchdown, putting
Georgia up 34-10. It was the first interception return for a touchdown of the season for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs added a field goal with 12:02 left in the game that brought the score to 37-10. Gurley
accounted for every yard of the drive before Marshall Morgan connected on a 22-yard field goal.
The Commodores responded with an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that cut the Georgia lead
to 37-17 with 5:46 left in the game.
Vanderbilt got the ball back with just under four minutes to play, but went three-and-out, giving the
offense another opportunity. Chubb carried much of the load in the final drive, tallying 59 yards on three
carries, including a 33-yard touchdown run that put the score at 44-17 with 28 seconds left in the game.

“There’s no doubt, victory is great. It sure beats losing. The guys did play hard. Defensively, we were outstanding most of the day. On offense, we ran the ball well
and threw and caught better. We had more balance in the attack today. We’ve got
a chance to keep improving as a football team. If we do that, we’ve got a chance
to get back to Atlanta.”
tThe Bulldogs are now 74-17-2 in Homecoming games including winning their
last eight. In the series with VU, Georgia now leads 54-19-2.
tGurley is now one of only four Bulldogs to have 3,000+ yards rushing in his
career with 3,147, joining Herschel Walker (5,259), Garrison Hearst (3,232)
and Lars Tate (3,017).
tGurley has the longest kickoff return (100) and longest completion (50) for the
Bulldogs this year.
tJunior CB Devin Bowman returned an interception 63 yards for a touchdown
to put Georgia up 34-10 in the third quarter. This marked the second straight
week Georgia’s defense has scored a touchdown. Bowman started and wore
No. 19 rather than his regular No. 37 in honor of freshman CB Rico Johnson.
tOn one play, senior QB Hutson Mason connected with senior receiver Chris
Conley for a 44-yard touchdown strike to go up 21-0. This was the Bulldogs’
third one-play touchdown drive of the year and the quickest at nine seconds.
With that touchdown, Conley joined the school’s all-time top-10 list with 14
career touchdown receptions.
tCaptains for the game were seniors David Andrews (C) and Damian Swann
(CB) and juniors Jordan Jenkins (OLB) and Todd Gurley (TB).

$0-6.#*".PThe No. 13 Georgia Bulldogs used a strong defensive effort to take a 34-0
shutout win over No. 23 Missouri in front of a sold out Memorial Stadium and a nationally televised
CBS audience in Columbia, Mo., on Saturday, Oct. 11. The win put the Bulldogs at 5-1 on the year,
including a 3-1 mark in Southeastern Conference action. Missouri dropped to 4-2 on the year and 1-1 in
league action. The win was the first time Missouri had been blanked since 2002.
The Georgia defense forced five turnovers, including four interceptions to keep Missouri off the
board. Quincy Mauger led the take-away parade with two interceptions. The Bulldogs also had three
sacks on the day as Leonard Floyd and Lorenzo Carter had one each. Ramik Wilson, Amarlo Herrera and
Tim Kimbrough led the team with four tackles each.
Nick Chubb recorded his first 100-yard rushing game, finishing with 143 yards on 38 carries and
a touchdown. Brendan Douglas added 65 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Hutson Mason led
Georgia’s passing attack, going 22-for-28 for 156 yards and a touchdown. Michael Bennett was his top
target, hauling in 53 yards on five catches.
Georgia opened up to a 20-0 lead in the first half after scoring on the four of the first five possessions of the game. The defense started the day strong, forcing Mizzou to punt on its opening drive. On
the ensuing possession, Mason orchestrated an 11-play, 45-yard drive that resulted in a 47-yard field
goal by Marshall Morgan that put Georgia up 3-0. The drive was highlighted by a 12-yard pass from
Mason to Chubb that gave the Bulldogs a first down inside Mizzou territory.
Georgia got another chance on the next Missouri drive, as Mauger picked off Maty Mauk at the
Missouri 47. The Bulldogs were unable to get any points off of the interception, but were given a second chance on the next drive. On the second play of the drive, Damian Swann intercepted Mauk. The
Bulldogs were able to put points on the board after a six yard pass from Mason to Jeb Blazevich set up
a 29-yard field goal that made it a 6-0 game.
The Bulldogs added seven points after a 13-play, 71-yard drive. Mason spread the ball around on
the drive, hitting three different receivers before taking the ball in on an 11-yard touchdown run.
Mason and the rest of the Georgia offense kept the pressure on, scoring a touchdown on its next
possession to make it a 20-0 game. Malcolm Mitchell and Bennett recorded catches of five and 11
yards, respectively, to put the Bulldogs at midfield. Facing 2nd-and-11, Chubb scampered for 18 yards
and a first down. Georgia kept the Tigers guessing by mixing both run and pass plays to get inside the
Mizzou 10. On 1st-and-Goal, Mason put the ball where only Bennett could get in the back corner of the
end zone for a touchdown that made it a 20-0 game. The teams had a couple more chances in the first
half, but the Bulldogs maintained its 20-0 lead going into halftime. It was the first time since 2004 that
a team had held Mizzou scoreless in the first half.
The Bulldog defense continued to disrupt Mauk in the opening possessions of the second half, as
Mauger and Dominick Sanders recorded interceptions on each of Mizzou’s first two drives. It was the
third and fourth interception of the game for Mauk and the Tigers. Following Sanders’ pick, the Georgia
offense kept the ball on the ground, as Chubb tallied 28 yards before Douglas ran the final 18, including
a 15-yard touchdown run that ended with him flipping over the defender and into the end zone, putting
Georgia up 27-0 following the extra point.
It was all Chubb on the next offensive possession for the Bulldogs. Working with a short field after
taking over near midfield, Chubb rushed for 43 of Georgia’s 52 yards during the 10-play drive that ate
over six minutes off the clock. The drive was capped off by a nine-yard touchdown run by Chubb, his first
touchdown of the day, that made it a 34-0 game.
Mizzou got the ball back after the touchdown, but the Bulldogs forced a three-and-out. On the
ensuing possession, Georgia stuck to its ground game and held the ball for the final 6:24 of the game.
Douglas was the workhorse on the final drive, gaining 27 yards to seal the 34-0 win.

Georgia Bulldogs earned a 45-32 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday, October 18, in front of
54,959 fans and a nationally televised SEC Network audience at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock,
Ark. With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 6-1 on the year and 4-1 in Southeastern Conference games.
Arkansas is now 3-4 overall and 0-4 in league play.
The win marked the nation’s first win over an SEC Western Division opponent this season, as the
SEC West entered the game with a 26-0 record.
Chubb was the story of the game, rushing for 202 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries. Hutson
Mason finished with 179 yards on 10-for-17 passing and a pair of touchdowns. He also added a rushing
touchdown. Chris Conley was his top target, gaining 128 yards and two touchdowns on five catches.
Georgia got two fumbles and two interceptions from its defense, turning them into 21 points.
Georgia is now +13 in turnover margin for the year. Quincy Mauger and Damian Swann each had an

Swann had 11 tackles, eight of which were unassisted, while Amarlo Herrera and Leonard Floyd added
10 tackles each. Wilson, Swann, Floyd and Jordan Jenkins had tackles for a loss.
Arkansas scored on its opening drive, going 75 yards on 13 plays in 7:51. The touchdown came
on an 11-yard run, but Ray Drew blocked the extra point attempt, resulting in a 6-0 Razorback lead.
The Bulldogs responded with 38 unanswered points in the first half. Highlighting Georgia’s first
drive was a 48-yard pass from Mason to Conley that set Georgia up at the Arkansas 26. Four plays
later, Mason rushed into the end zone for the touchdown that gave Georgia a 7-6 lead after Marshall
Morgan’s PAT was good.
The Bulldogs got the ball back on their own 29 with 3:19 left in the first quarter. Conley picked up
40 yards on two catches that put Georgia at the Arkansas 14-yard line. Morgan connected on a 37-yard
field goal that extended Georgia’s lead to 10-6.
Chubb added the next two scores for the Bulldogs. He boosted the Georgia lead to 17-6 on a 43yard touchdown run. On the following drive, Chubb rushed for 42 yards on three carries. The Bulldogs
were helped by a personal foul call against Arkansas that set up a fresh set of downs at the 3-yard line.
Chubb took it into the end zone to cap the drive and lift Georgia to a 24-6 lead over the Razorbacks.
On the first play after the kickoff, Arkansas fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Floyd at the
Arkansas seven-yard line. One play later, Mason found Michael Bennett in the end zone for six. After
the Bennett touchdown, Morgan’s extra point was good, bringing the score to 31-6.
Arkansas looked to gain some momentum, driving down to the Georgia 34 yard-line. On a fourthand-six situation, Jenkins sacked Brandon Allen, forcing a fumble that was picked up by Dominick
Sanders, who returned it 54 yards for a touchdown. That turnover made it a 38-6 game after the PAT.
The Razorbacks tried to fight back into the game, moving all the way down to the Georgia 20. Allen
looked to the end zone on third down, but Swann was waiting and intercepted his pass. The interception allowed Georgia to enter halftime with a 38-6 lead.
Arkansas scored on its first two possessions of the second half. The first touchdown came after
a 12-play, 71-yard drive but a failed two-point conversion resulted in a 38-12 score. The second touchdown came on a seven play, 57-yard drive that brought the score to 38-19.
Looking to keep the momentum on its next drive, Arkansas threw on third down, but Mauger was
waiting and intercepted the pass. On the third play of the ensuing drive, Mason found Conley for 36
yards and the touchdown that allowed Georgia to extend its lead to 45-19.
The Razorbacks kept chipping away at the Georgia lead, scoring on a nine play, 90-yard drive that
cut the lead to 45-32 after a failed two-point conversion. That would be all that Arkansas could get,
as the Bulldogs kept it on the ground on the final drive of the game and ran out the clock to seal the
45-32 win.

“It was an outstanding victory. I’m very proud of our team. Obviously the first half was
about as good as you could ever hope a first half to go. I’m very impressed with how we
played in the second half. I think we still played hard, but they played better than us for
a good bit of that second half... I’m as happy as I could be with that victory.”
tGeorgia notched the nation’s first win over an SEC Western Division team this
season as that side of the conference came in 26-0 this year against non-SEC
West opponents.
tGeorgia’s 38 points in the first two quarters were the most points the Bulldogs
have scored against an SEC team in the first half since 1984 when they led
Vanderbilt 42-21 and eventually won 62-35.
tFreshman Nick Chubb, making only his second career start, finished with a
career-high 202 yards on 30 carries with 2 TDs. He is the second Bulldog to go
over 200 yards in a game this year, joining junior Todd Gurley who had 208 in
the win over Tennessee.
tGeorgia got two fumbles and two interceptions and turned them in to 21
points. Georgia now leads the nation with a +13 turnover margin for the year.
tSenior DE Ray Drew blocked a PAT on Arkansas’ first TD. It was the first
blocked PAT by the Bulldogs since 2012 when Kwame Geathers notched one
versus Florida Atlantic.
tCaptains for the game were seniors Michael Bennett (SE), Hutson Mason
(QB), Mike Thornton (N) and sophomore Leonard Floyd (OLB).

+"$,40/7*--&'MBThe No. 9 Georgia football team dropped a 38-20 game to the
Florida Gators on Saturday, November 1, in front of 83,004 fans and a CBS nationally televised
audience at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla. The Bulldogs are now 6-2 on the year and 4-2 in
Southeastern Conference actions. Florida is 4-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC.
Hutson Mason was 26-for-41 for 319 yards and a touchdown. It was a career best in both
attempts and completions. His top target was Malcolm Mitchell who finished with 55 yards on
seven catches. Michael Bennett finished with 60 yards on six catches, while Nick Chubb had 59
yards on five catches. Chubb led the rushing attack, going for 156 yards and a touchdown on 21
attempts.
Defensively, the Bulldogs were led by Amarlo Herrera, who finished with 11 tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss. Leonard Floyd faded nine tackles, while Jordan Jenkins tacked on eight.
Georgia scored first, taking a 7-0 lead on a nine-play, 85-yard drive that took 2:43. Chubb
carried the load before taking the ball 39 yards to the end zone for the score.
The Bulldogs looked to add to its lead after Jordan Jenkins recovered a fumble at the Florida
48. The Bulldogs were able take the ball down to the 22-yard line, but the windy conditions came
into play as Marshall Morgan was unable to connect on a 22-yard field goal. During the drive,
Chubb went over 100 yards for the third time of the season. He finished with 101 in the first
quarter.
The Gators answered on the next drive, scoring on a fake field goal with 8:25 on the clock
that made it a 7-7 game. After a three-and-out by Georgia, Florida scored on its next drive, going
64 yards in five plays. A 44-yard run set up the two-yard touchdown run that made it a 14-7 lead
after the extra point.
Florida scored the next 10 points of the game. The Gators put together a six-play, 73-yard
touchdown drive on the opening possession of the second half. The touchdown was scored on
a 44-yard run that put Florida up 21-7 after the extra point. The Gators added a field goal on their
next drive that extended their lead to 24-7.
The Bulldogs looked to answer on the ensuing drive, completing a slant pass to Malcolm
Mitchell for 11 yards. Chubb broke off a 35 yard run, but the ball was stripped from behind, forcing
a fumble that was recovered by the Gators. The turnover did not hurt the Bulldogs as the defense
forced and three-and-out and the Gators to punt.
Georgia was unable to find an offensive rhythm and had to punt on the next possession.
Florida returned the punt 38 yards to the Georgia 26. The Gators scored five plays later to make
it a 31-7 game.
The Bulldogs responded with a nine-play, 68-yard touchdown drive. Chubb started the drive
with a four-yard gain. Mason found Bennett on a slant for a 12-yard gain. Three plays later Mason
and Chubb connected for 15 yards and a first down at the UF37. On second down, Mason completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Chubb. Georgia went for two after the play, but was unable
to convert, resulting in a 31-13 game.
Georgia put together an 11-play, 68-yard drive that saw it work its way down to the Florida
two-yard line. Georgia went for it on fourth down, but the pass was deflected, allowing Florida to
get the ball back at its own 2-yard line.
On the ensuing drive, Florida tacked on a touchdown that gave them a 38-13 lead. The touchdown was scored on a 65-yard run by Kelvin Taylor.
The Bulldogs added a touchdown with three seconds left in the game. Mason took to the
air, completing passes of 25 and 24 to Chris Conley and Davis before Brendan Douglas ran for the
one-yard touchdown run that cut the lead to 38-20.

“Four hundred yards rushing; that’s pretty impressive. That was the story of the game.
We couldn’t run it the way we like to, and they did. That was a big part of the game.
When they score a touchdown, you have to come back and play ball. Little by little they
continued to run the ball and pound the ball, and we didn’t have an answer for it.”

Isaiah McKenzie posted two special teams scores as No. 17 Georgia defeated Kentucky 63-31
on Saturday, Nov. 8, at Commonwealth Stadium in front of crowd of 60,152 and nationwide audience on ESPN.
The Bulldogs had a season-best 559 total yards and improved to 7-2 overall and 5-2 in the
Southeastern Conference, while the Wildcats fell to 5-5 and 2-5. Georgia improved to 54-12-2
against Kentucky, including five straight wins and 16 of the past 18.
Playing just three quarters, Mason went 13-of-16 for 174 yards with a career-best four
touchdown passes. Mason fired two to receiver Chris Conley and one each to receiver Malcolm
Mitchell and tight end Jeb Blazevich.
McKenzie sparked the Bulldogs as he returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown,
then added a 59-yard punt return for a score in the third quarter. He became only the 12th player in
NCAA history to score on a kickoff return and a punt return in the same game.
Tailback Nick Chubb rushed for 170 yards -- including 116 in the first half -- and a touchdown.
It marked his fourth straight 100-yard game. Tailback Sony Michel, returning from a shoulder
injury that sidelined him for four games, added 84 yards and a touchdown.
Linebacker Ramik Wilson paced the defense with 12 tackles. Linebacker Lorenzo Carter
added nine tackles, including three sacks, to earn SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors
and linebacker Amarlo Herrera posted seven stops.

for a score just 11 seconds into the contest. Six minutes later, Mason hit Conley on a 15-yard
touchdown pass. Georgia later added an 18-yard scoring run by Chubb to cap a season-best
91-yard scoring drive.
After Kentucky pulled within 21-10 in the second quarter, Mason drilled a 23-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell for a 28-10 edge. The Wildcats scored to make it 28-17, but the MasonConley connection worked again on a 4-yard scoring pass for a 35-17 lead. Kentucky found the
end zone just before halftime as the Bulldogs led 35-24 at the break.
In the first half, Chubb had 116 yards on seven carries, giving him his fourth straight 100-yard
game. Chubb also had a career-long 55-yard rush prior to intermission.

“Very pleased with what happened today. I’m proud of our players. I thought they did a
really good job. Obviously, to start the game with a kickoff return for a touchdown was
huge. Isaiah (McKenzie) did a good job of finding it. We played about as good as we
practiced on that team. It was a great week of practice on the kickoff return team. We
talked a lot about starting the second half better for the season. The way we came out
in the second half was maybe more impressive than how we came out in the first. I’m
just really proud of the team and what they did today and the coaches and everybody
involved. It was a good day.”
tGeorgia’s 63 points in an SEC game were the most since beating Florida 75-0
in 1942 in Jacksonville. It was the most points scored in an SEC game under
Mark Richt.
tIt was the first game with no Bulldog punts since 2009 versus Georgia Tech.
tFreshman Isaiah McKenzie became the 12th player in NCAA history to return
a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown in the same game. He is the first Bulldog
in the modern era to do so.
tSenior WR Chris Conley had two TD catches on the day. He now has 17 career
TD catches, which moves him into a tie for sixth in Bulldog history.
tGeorgia had a season-long 91-yard TD drive on six plays in 1:51 in the first
quarter. Previously, Georgia’s longest TD drive covered 87 yards versus Tenn.

"5)&/4(BThe No. 14 Georgia Bulldogs scored 34 unanswered points as it upset
the ninth-ranked Auburn Tigers 34-7 on Saturday, Nov. 15, in front of a sold out crowd of
92,746 and a nationally-televised ESPN audience in Athens, Ga.
The running back tandem of Todd Gurley and Nick Chubb carried the Georgia offense.
Each runner went for over 100 yards marking the first time since 2012 that the Bulldogs
have had two 100-yard rushers. Chubb led the team with 144 yards and two touchdowns
on 19 carries, while Gurley finished with 138 yards and one touchdown on 29 attempts.
Along with his 144 yards, Chubb became the 12th Bulldogs in program history to rush for
1,000 yards. Hutson Mason was 10-for-19 for 123 yards and touchdown on the night. Chubb
was hit top target, finishing with 48 receiving yards. Michael Bennett added 29 yards, while
Malcolm Mitchell registered 13 yards and a touchdown.
Amarlo Herrera led the team defensively, finishing with 12 tackles, including one tackle
for a loss and an interception. Damian Swann and Ramik Wilson finished with eight tackles
each. Leonard Floyd had the lone sack of the night.
Auburn struck first, taking a 7-0 lead on a 10-play, 70-yard drive that took just over four
minutes. Cameron Artis-Payne scored the touchdown on a 26-yard run.
A muffed punt and a fumble recovery by Lucas Redd breathed new life into the Georgia
offense. Sitting at the 20-yard line, Gurley got the call on first down and rushed 11 yards.
Mason then found Mitchell at the goal line for a touchdown that tied the game at 7-7.
The Bulldogs took the lead on their first drive of the second half. Chubb was the star of
the drive, racking up 51 of Georgia’s 83 yards. Facing 4th-and-1 at the Auburn 9-yard line,
Georgia called a timeout and decided to go for it. The gamble paid off as Chubb carried it
nine yards to the end zone for a touchdown that put the Bulldogs up 14-7.
Georgia was forced to punt on its next drive, but Auburn was flagged for roughing the
kicker, which resulted in a first down for the Bulldogs. Georgia worked its way into Auburn
territory but settled for a 32-yard field goal by Marshall Morgan that made it a 17-7 game.
Auburn got the ball back with 23 seconds left in the first half, but did not connect on the
deep ball as time expired, allowing Georgia to enter the locker room with a 17-7 lead. The
seven points was the fewest by Auburn this season.
The Bulldog defense shut down Auburn on its ensuing possession Georgia got the ball
back near midfield and stuck to the ground on the drive. Chubb went over 1,000 yards on
the drive, racking up 51 yards on five carries. Gurley finished off the drive with a three-yard
touchdown run that put Georgia up 24-7 with 7:28 left in the third quarter.
Auburn turned the ball over on downs with 4:56 left in the third quarter after a Nick
Marshall fourth-down pass to C.J. Uzomah fell incomplete. Georgia then put together a nine
play, 46-yard drive that resulted in a 28-yard field goal by Morgan. A pass interference call
and a 27-yard run by Chubb set up the field goal.
At the start of the fourth quarter, Auburn marched all the way down to the Georgia 15
yard line, but could not get any further as Georgia’s defense had an answer for every play
call. The Tigers went for it on 4th-and-13, but Herrera picked it off at the two-yard line, ending the chance for an Auburn score.
The Bulldogs kept the hammer down, driving 98 yards on 11 plays and taking up 6:34
on their next drive. Georgia methodically worked the clock and got the first downs when
needed before Chubb rushed 11 yards up the middle for the touchdown, his second of the
game, that extended Georgia’s lead to 34-7.
Auburn got another chance, but a fumble with just over two minutes left in the game
was recovered by Davin Bellamy. Georgia then got the ball back and ran out the clock, sealing the 34-7 win.

that made it a 7-0 game after the Marshall Morgan PAT. After the defense forced a threeand-out, it took just two plays for the Bulldogs to take a 14-0 lead. Chubb broke free for
an 83-yard touchdown run. It was the longest touchdown run of Chubb’s career, the eighth
longest in Georgia history and third longest for the Bulldogs in Sanford Stadium.
The Bulldogs kept the pressure on during its third drive of the game, going 65 yards in
five plays. During the drive, CSU was flagged for pass interference, giving Georgia a fresh
set of downs in Buccaneer territory. A 17-yard gain by Rumph helped set up the 19-yard
touchdown catch by Scott-Wesley that gave Georgia a 21-0 lead after the extra point.
The scoring continued when Morgan connected on 53-yard field goal that put the Bulldogs up 24-0. It was the longest field goal of the season for Morgan.
Chubb got his second touchdown of the day that put Georgia up 31-0 after the point
after. The touchdown capped off a 12-play, 77-yard drive that took just under five minutes.
Highlighting the drive were first down catches by Conley and Rumph.
After a missed field goal, Charleston Southern took over on downs at its own 32. On
the second play of the drive, Mauger intercepted the pass and returned it 13 yards. One the
first play after the interception, Mason found an outstretched Conley in the back of the end
zone for the touchdown that brought the score to 38-0 after the Morgan PAT.
Charleston Southern avoided the shutout after a 12-play, 47-yard drive resulted in a
45-yard field goal with less than a minute to go in the first half that made it 38-3.
The Bulldogs took over on downs with 7:46 left in the third quarter and drove 30 yards
on seven plays before Morgan booted a 27-yard field goal that made it a 48-3 game.
Ramsey got the call to start the second half and on Georgia’s opening drive threw a
12-yard touchdown strike to Rumph that increased Georgia’s lead to 45-3. Jeb Blazevich
helped set up the touchdown with a 20-yard catch that put Georgia inside CSU territory.
Quayvon Hicks got in on the scoring action with less than a minute left in the third
quarter as he picked up 33 yards on a bruising touchdown run that gave Georgia a 55-3
lead.
Charleston Southern made it a 55-9 game with 9:55 left in the game versus Georgia’s
reserves. The Buccaneers’ scoring drive went 71 yards on six plays in just over three minutes. The drive was highlighted by a 25-yard run before a two-yard touchdown run.
Georgia looked to answer with a score of its own, but a fumble at the Charleston
Southern 10 ended the drive. The Buccaneers moved the ball near midfield on the drive,
but ran out of time as Georgia sealed its 55-9 win.

"5)&/4(BIn the first overtime game in the history of Sanford Stadium, the No. 9
Georgia Bulldogs fell 30-24 to in-state rival and 15th-ranked Georgia Tech in front of 92,746
fans and a nationally televised SEC Network audience at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga.
Nick Chubb, who finished with 129 yards on 25 carries, once again led the Bulldogs
offensively. It was his seventh-straight 100-yard rushing game. Hutson Mason finished with
194 yards, a touchdown and an interception on 18-for-28 passing. His top target was Malcolm Mitchell, who finished with 56 yards and a touchdown on seven catches. The Bulldog
defense was led by Ramik Wilson and Amarlo Herrera, who each finished with a career-high
19 tackles. Damian Swann came up with a goal line fumble recovery that was returned for
a school-record 99 yards and a score.
Georgia got on the board in a hurry, scoring on its opening drive. Chubb was the star of
the drive, catching a 24-yard pass before rushing for 28 yards to set up 2nd-and-goal at the
Georgia Tech four. Two plays later, the Bulldogs went for it on 4th-and-goal from the one.
Chubb got the call and crossed the goal line for the score. Marshall Morgan connected on
the extra point to give the Bulldogs an early 7-0 lead.
On Georgia’s third drive of the game, Chubb broke off a 65-yard run that got the Bulldogs
down to the Georgia Tech one-yard line. Two plays later, Chubb fumbled and it was recovered by the Jackets. The defense stepped up and forced Georgia Tech to punt. Tech looked
to get on the board at the start of the second quarter when it lined up for a field goal at the
Georgia 20, but Ray Drew blocked the kick. Georgia tried to take advantage of the blocked
kick but fumbled into the end zone on the ensuing drive again on the GT1.
The Yellow Jackets drove the length of the field on the ensuing possession and scored
on a 7-yard pass to Darren Waller that tied the game at 7-7. Georgia Tech then got the ball
to start the second half and drove all the way to the Georgia seven. With the Yellow Jackets
looking to score, Swann ripped the ball from Justin Thomas’ arm and returned it 99 yards
for a touchdown that put the Bulldogs up 14-7 after the PAT. The 99-yard return set a new
Georgia record as the longest fumble return in school history.
The Bulldogs looked to add to their lead with just over six minutes left in the third quarter. Morgan lined up for a 49-yard attempt but the kick was blocked, resulting in Tech getting
the ball at its own 37-yard line. Georgia Tech turned the blocked kick into seven points, driving 63 yards on eight plays to tie the game.
The Bulldogs put together a 15-play, 73-yard drive that resulted in the Bulldogs taking a
17-14 lead after Morgan connected on a 19-yard field goal. After the drive appeared to stall,
Georgia lined up to attempt a field goal. Instead of the kick, holder Adam Erickson pitched
the ball over his head and Morgan took the ball 28 yards to the Georgia Tech three for the
first down. He completed the drive six plays later with a short field goal.
Georgia Tech responded with a touchdown drive that went 80 yards in 13 plays that
allowed the Yellow Jackets to take a 21-17 lead with just over four minutes left on the clock.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Yellow Jackets executed a perfect pooch kick, recovering the
ball at the Georgia 27. The Yellow Jackets picked up 10 yards before a Thomas fumble was
recovered by Herrera at the Georgia 31.
The fumble recovery gave Georgia another chance. Mason started the drive with a pair
of passes to Conley for a pickup of 20 yards. Sony Michel picked up another 10 yards that
put Georgia at the Tech 21. Mason and Conley hooked up for another big gain, setting the
Bulldogs up with 1st-and-Goal at the Georgia Tech five-yard line. Facing 4th-and-goal with
22 seconds on the clock after a pair of incomplete passes and a short gain, Mason found
Mitchell in the end zone for a three-yard touchdown pass that gave Georgia a 24-21 lead
with 18 seconds left in the game.
However as time expired, kicker Harrison Butker was good from 53 yards, tying the
game at 24-24 and sending it to overtime. Tech got the ball first and scored a touchdown but
the extra point was blocked by Drew that made it a 30-24 game. In Georgia’s overtime possession, Mason connected with Conley on third down for a gain of 10, giving the Bulldogs a
fresh set of downs inside the 10. With Georgia looking for the winning touchdown, Mason’s
pass was intercepted by D.J. White, sealing Tech’s win.

$)"3-055&/$ - The No. 13 Georgia football team earned a 37-14 win over the
20th-ranked Louisville Cardinals in front of a crowd of 45,671 and a nationally-televised
ESPN audience in the Belk Bowl at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The Bulldogs
end the 2014 campaign with an overall record of 10-3. The Bulldogs have posted 10 or more
wins 21 times, including nine times under Head Coach Mark Richt.
Despite leaving the game in the second quarter with an eye issue, Hutson Mason led
the Bulldogs through the air. He went 10-for-15 for 148 yards and touchdown. Brice Ramsey
was 4-for-9 for 51 yards in relief. Chris Conley was the top target, finishing with 81 yards and
a touchdown down on four catches. As it was for much of the season, the offense was led
by the run game. Nick Chubb was named the Belk Bowl MVP and finished with 269 yards
and two touchdowns on 33 carries. His 269 yards were a career high, an SEC bowl record,
marked his eighth-straight 100-yard rushing game and was the second-highest single game
rushing total in Georgia history. Sony Michel finished with 11 carries for 31 yards.
Lorenzo Carter and Ramik Wilson led the defensive effort with eight tackles each. Both
recorded one sack, with Carter’s going for a loss of 19 yards on the final play of the game.
Aaron Davis and Ray Drew finished with seven tackles each. As a unit, Georgia had three
interceptions, with Dominick Sanders getting two. He became the sixth player in Georgia
history to record two interceptions in a game.
Georgia struck first, taking a 7-0 lead on a nine-play, 60-yard drive in the first quarter.
Chubb got the drive started by breaking off a 20-yard run. With the drive stalling, the Bulldogs got a spark when Louisville was called for a personal foul that gave Georgia a fresh set
of downs. On 2nd-and-14, Mason connected with Conley for a 45-yard touchdown that gave
the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead after the Marshall Morgan extra point.
The Cardinals answered on the next drive, going 84 yards on nine plays to tie the game
at 7-7. The touchdown was scored on an 11-yard pass from Kyle Bolin to Gerald Christian.
Both offenses were quiet over the next several possessions. Georgia retook the lead
after a nine-play, 43-yard drive led to a 41-yard field goal and gave UGA a 10-7 lead. The
Bulldog defense remained stout on the next Louisville drive, allowing just seven net yards.
On the next Georgia drive, Mason hit Michel out of the backfield for 32 yards and a first
down. Four plays later, Chubb raced 31 yards into the end zone for a touchdown that put the
Bulldogs up 17-7 with just under seven minutes to go in the half.
On the first play of the next drive, Sanders intercepted a pass from Reggie Bonnafon.
The interception resulted in three points as Morgan connected on a 22-yard field goal and
extended Georgia’s lead to 20-7. Louisville had a pair of chances late in the half, but the
Georgia defense shut the Cardinals down and took a 20-7 lead into halftime.
The Bulldogs added a touchdown with 6:38 left in the third quarter that made it a 27-7
game. Starting at their own three-yard line, Chubb broke off a Georgia bowl record 82-yard
run that set the Bulldogs up at the Louisville 15. Michel finished the drive, rushing for the
final 15 yards and the score on two carries. Louisville answered with a touchdown drive of
its own, going 70 yards in 10 plays. The drive was capped off by a six-yard touchdown run
by Brandon Radcliff that cut the lead to 27-14 with just under two minutes left in the third.
Georgia worked its way down to the Louisville 36-yard line, but went for it on 4thand-10. Ramsey’s pass was incomplete, allowing Louisville to take over on downs. Damian
Swann intercepted Kyle Bolin on the first play of the next drive.
The run game took over on the ensuing Georgia drive, picking up 23 yards before
Ramsey connected with Kenneth Towns for 14 yards and a first down. The Bulldogs put
together a 43-yard drive that took 4:13 off the clock and was capped off by a 41-yard field
goal by Morgan that gave the Bulldogs a 30-14 lead. With the field goal, the Bulldogs set a
single-season record in points scored this season (537).
The defense remained aggressive on Louisville’s next drive, forcing a three-and-out on
a drive that amassed just one yard. Nick Chubb carried the load on the final Georgia drive,
accounting for all 45 yards and the touchdown that sealed the 37-14 win.
Louisville looked to score on its last possession, working its way down to the Georgia
10, but Carter burst through the line for a sack to end the game.

“Very proud of our team. It was a year that I thought we had overcome a lot. I think this
game was maybe very similar to the type of season we had as far as losing some key
people and other guys having to step up and make plays and just continue our focus and
continue to fight. Just really, really proud of everybody.”

Head Coach Mark Richt came to Georgia with
the goal of taking the lid off a program that had
not won an SEC title in 20 years. After 14 seasons
between the hedges, he’s demonstrated what that
means by winning two SEC Championships (2002,

have earned their degrees during his tenure.
Richt was named SEC Coach of the Year
in both 2002 and 2005. His record against nonconference teams is 59-12 and his teams are 46-15
when playing in an opponent’s home stadium.
Richt is also one of only seven coaches in
history to win two SEC championships (2002,

head coaches in SEC history to record four straight
10-win seasons (2002-05). The respect he has nationally was demonstrated in 2010 when Richt was
named to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees. He is also the 2013 recipient
of the Stallings Award given for commitment to
humanitarian and community service efforts.
The excitement produced by Richt’s teams on
WKHÀHOGKDVEHHQPDWFKHGE\PDQ\RWKHUDVSHFWV
surrounding the program. Richt has generated an
atmosphere of excitement and unity among the
Georgia people. Georgia supporters and fans became impressed with his sincerity, openness, family
values, and the casual and genuine way he carried
himself. They liked his ideas on building a football
program, his commitment to discipline, and the
importance he placed on standards of excellence
RQDQGRIIWKHÀHOG
And they liked the way he refused to set limitations on what would be a satisfactory season.
“I like to set our goals high,” he said. “I never
want to put a ceiling on what we can accomplish.”
Richt also had a reputation for developing
quarterbacks at FSU and that has continued at UGA.
David Greene was named SEC Freshman of the Year
in 2001 and in ‘02, Greene led the SEC in passing

Murray set four SEC career records: Passing Yards

and Completions (921). He is the only quarterback
in SEC history to throw for more than 3,000 yards
four consecutive years.
The NFL is also looking Georgia’s way on a
regular basis. Seventy two of Richt’s players have
been chosen in the NFL draft over the last 13 years

very special way.
“We were in Sunday School class one day talking about the needs
of society,” said Richt. “We explored questions like ‘who’s in charge
of taking care of the poor and the elderly?’ We felt like the church
should do its share.”
Also, Katharyn’s brother and sister-in-law had previously adopted
children from the Ukraine. Months later, Katharyn was in the Ukraine,
a former republic of the Soviet Union, arranging the adoption of two
children, classmates in the same orphanage. She spent 31 days there
while Mark spent about eight days. When they returned in July, 1999,
they had Zack and Anya, in tow.
“They have been a special blessing to all our family,” said Katharyn.

Although the University of Georgia is now known as the home of Uga, the pure white English bulldog, several mascots led the Red and Black before Frank W. Seiler provided the current lineage beginning in 1956.

Trilby

In 1894, Georgia’s mascot was a solid white female bull terrier owned by a student, Charles H. Black, Sr., of Atlanta. Trilby, named
after a novel by George Du Maurier, served as the campus pet and mascot for the Chi Phi fraternity.
Disputing stories speculate the origin of the Bulldog nickname, and the story of Trilby provides yet another opinion: “...every day

Butch was a brindled English bulldog owned by Mabry Smith of Warner Robins, Ga. He was spotted by students who were attending the 1946 Georgia-Georgia Tech game in Athens, and the canine appeared to be suited for the mascot position. Smith agreed
to loan Butch to the University during the football season along with a female puppy named Tuffy. The female died of a heart attack
following the Georgia-Kentucky game in 1948, but Butch continued to serve. Spending the off-season at Smith’s home in Warner
Robins, Butch was tragically shot in the summer of 1951 by a policeman after the dog escaped from his pen and was found roaming
the streets. Butch is buried behind Smith’s business along Watson Boulevard.
In 2004 plans for a marker honoring Butch in his hometown were put into motion by longtime Warner Robins resident Guy Fussell.

a record of 77-27-4. The highlight of his career was his personal appearance at the Heisman Trophy Banquet with Herschel
Walker in New York on December 9, 1982. Uga IV was escorted through thebanquet hall by the president of the Downtown

Named in honor of one of the greatest Bulldogs, Dan Magill, former Assistant Athletic Director for Public Relations and longtime
tennis coach and sports information director. Surprisingly, the Seiler family became aware that Uga IV’s mate was expecting only 10
days before the litter was due. This notice came a week after Uga IV had passed away at his home in Savannah from kidney failure. There
were only three pups in the litter and the last one born on March 6 was the only solid white male.
Uga V had been perhaps the most well known of all the Bulldog mascots highlighted by his appearance on the cover of the April

Born Sept. 12, 2009 in Savannah, Ga., Uga VIII is the grandson of Uga VI. He carries on the tradition of more than 60 years of all-white bulldogs
bred by Frank “Sonny” Seiler and family.
Uga VIII was named in honor of Dr. Bruce Hollett from the University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Hollett has been a long time caregiver
for the famed line of English bulldogs. UGA VIII served six games in the 2010 season before he became ill and missed the AutoZone Liberty
