But Bama’s offensive situation is a mess, and Ole Miss isn’t going to get that many easy scoring opportunities against the rest of their schedule.

The running backs continue to be reliable and will be a deciding factor in how good this Georgia team can truly be. Saturday, September 19, 2015, in Athens, Ga.
Between his days at Florida and South Carolina, Steve Spurrier has 16 career victories against Georgia, the most of any coach. Georgia is one of the favorites to win the SEC and contend for a playoff spot. This week’s starter, Perry Orth, was 6-of-17 for 66 yards and a rushing touchdown.
Georgia quarterback Greyson Lambert drops back to pass during the… The Gamecocks are a shell of the team that produced players such as Jadeveon Clowney and beat UGA four of the last five seasons before Saturday. That’s a thought that will keep any Georgia fan warm at night. We’ll have more on this tonight, but suffice it to say that some big targets were quite impressed with what they saw both on and off the field. “We had a plan to get Brice (Ramsey) in the game“.
South Carolina running back Shon Carson (7) is topped for a loss by… Obviously, Lambert won’t be able to continue to throw for nearly a near-perfect completion percentage from here on out, but this game has to add confidence in his ability to lead this team through an SEC schedule. Now they face a Georgia offense that features two of the top runners in the SEC in Rob Chubb and Sony Michel.
He connected on 24-of-25 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns while extending his streak of no interceptions to three games in a 52-20 romp of SEC rival South Carolina. “The kid played well”. They have outstanding receivers.
“I can’t believe he threw an incompletion”, Richt quipped. The Gamecocks O-line will make sure Jenkins and Floyd are accounted for on every play.
Quarterback Connor Mitch injured his shoulder early in the Kentucky game and is out until at least late October. It was their first thirty-plus point win over the Gamecocks since 1974. The pass defense, on the other hand, needs some work, after allowing 501 yards to ULM and Vanderbilt. The play of true freshman quarterback Lorenzo Nunez – who ran the option offense extremely effectively. He could be in line to move up after this dismal performance. “It’s not up to me”.
Georgia responded on the next drive with the help of Greyson Lambert. The doubts only increased when he struggled the previous week against Vanderbilt, completing only 11 of 21 passes in an ugly 31-14 win.
Talk about silencing the critics.
Georgia (3-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) seized control with a touchdown in the final seconds of the first half and two more in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the third quarter, taking advantage of an interception by South Carolina’s new starting quarterback, former walk-on Perry Orth.
Everything has been said about Lambert’s day that can be said. “Time will tell when we play out the schedule, but Georgia looks like a very good team”. Georgia piled on the points on way to a 52-20 win over a South Carolina that offered very little resistance on defense. He ran for 51 yards and a 21-yard TD on eight carries, and caught three passes for 32 yards and two scores, a pair of 11-yarders from Lambert in the third quarter.
