And that almost happened. As McKenzie spun away from defenders and ran at an angle to his right, a Nicholls State defender was coming close to make the tackle.

The Georgia Bulldogs won a big game against the North Carolina TarHeels during the opening weekend of the college football season, with the final score being 33-24. “And, as a freshman once he took over after Todd Gurley went down, Chubb went over 100 yards easily in every game”.
McKenzie finished with two receptions for 61 yards. A 66-yard pass from Jacob Eason to McKenzie put Georgia back on top, and a sack-fumble on Colonel quarterback Devin Powell led to a 24-yard return for a score by the Georgia defense.
The Nicholls State Colonels from Thibodaux, Louisiana will march over to Athens, Georgia to take on the Georgia Bulldogs. On the offensive line, we need to play with more power and consistency. But the Bulldogs offense failed to move the ball and punted it back to the Colonels. They shined in this game but it may not be enough to get them through the season.
The next Nicholls State drive ended after three plays, as Fourcade threw another interception. He finished 11of-20 for 204 yards, a TD and an interception. They better. The Bulldogs will travel to Columbia, Mo., for their first SEC game against the Missouri Tigers next week.
On the bright side, freshman quarterback Jacob Eason showed some signs of his incredible potential in the first half. But the decision, with the 2-point play failing, nearly cost Georgia.
“Anytime you start a true freshman at quarterback, anything can happen”, Smart said. After this game the Colonels might not want another meeting with these junk yard dogs that carry a big bite.
Smart hasn’t commented on his quarterback decision.
Tickets for Saturday’s game are available and are $50 each.
Ham bounces back after early miss: Georgia kicker William Ham just missed to the left on a 52-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter. Georgia’s career record for interceptions is 16, which was set by Jake Scott (1967-68) and matched by Bacarri Rambo (2009-12). He also had two catches for 5 yards. “But we still have to do what we are supposed to do”.
Nicholls led 14-13 midway through the third after Fourcade, a surprise starter, threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jarrell Rogers.

“I try to treat it like I have zero”, Sanders said. More recently, head coach Kirby Smart has made a striking comparison involving the star running back. “It’s frustrating. A lot of guys didn’t execute, didn’t play well, and that’s my responsibility”. “We’re going to look and see who gives us the best chance to be successful”. “There are a lot more prolific offenses out there in high school football”. They blitzed on the outside and they mixed it up. Going against a great team, a great running back.
