While the SEC is undoubtedly the best and toughest conference in college football, some of the teams Georgia has struggled with this season have been surprising. The Dawgs only beat a 3-6 Kentucky team by one point. They only beat a 2-7 Mississippi State team by 10 points. Before Florida quarterback DJ Lagway got hurt, UGA was losing to the 4-4 Gators, 10-3. In the grand scheme of things those teams are a little better than their record indicates, but as a national championship contender, Georgia shouldn’t be struggling with those teams.
Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback DJ Shockley joined The Morning Shift, and after being asked if he thinks the Bulldogs are getting better or just holding serve he explained why he thinks Georgia is just holding serve.
"The defense coming up big and obviously forcing the issue, and getting the ball back to you,” is one reason why Georgia has been able to hold on, Shockley said. Another reason is Carson Beck despite struggling with throwing interceptions has been coming up in big situations.
However, Shockley says at some point Georgia has to “continue to grow and get better” if the Dawgs want to win a championship. So while it’s a positive that Georgia is still winning games despite not playing their best football they still need to obviously play better and get better if they want to achieve their ultimate goal.
