To put it simply, Georgia beat the brakes off of #8 Arkansas in what was a highly anticipated match up. In what was supposed to be one of the top games on the national marquee, Georgia made a statement. The Bulldogs defense looks to not be dominant this year but through five games looks to be historically good. Georgia made their case to move #1, that's not to take anything from Alabama. However, beating an Arkansas team that was in the top 10 and unbeaten the way Georgia did is worthy of heavy consideration.
It was over before it started really, as the Bulldogs scored three times in the first 13 minutes to lead 21-0 after one. The Bulldogs got a pair of rushing TD's early, as Zamir White and Kendall Minton both found pay dirt. Then the Bulldogs got a TD, when Zamire White picked up a loose ball after a blocked punt in the end zone. It was that play deflated Arkansas and pretty well sealed their fate. Goergia added a FG in the 2nd quarter to lead 24-0 at the half.
Given that Georgia had given up just a combined 23 points in three games, everyone knew they had already done enough to win the game. Georgia added a 3rd quarter field goal to lead 27-0 after three. Zamie White would get his 3rd overall TD of the day and his 2nd rushing score to out Georgia up 34-0. The Bulldogs added a FG to make the final 37-0.
It was a game that on paper looked to be strength vs strength. However. Georgia's defense was the power broker Saturday. They held Arkansas to just 162 total yards of offense, the Razorbacks averaged over 400 coming in. Georgia's also shut down what was the 6th ranked rushing offense in the nation coming in. Georgia dominated them on the ground compiling a 273-75 advantage on the ground.
Georgia moves to 5-0 on the season, they travel to take on Auburn this weekend in the "Deep South's Oldest Rivalry".
