I think GA offense (and defense somewhat) just got caught taking KY for granted. A bye week and then the Tide, should be a good one.

Hogs Taylen Green was great in running but he regressed in passing. RB Jackson has close to 400 yards in 2.5 games. Our defense was atrocious, they need to be better for Auburn next week.

Petrino is living up to his billing as an OC wunderkid. Fans are still predicting a losing season but, just as long as we show progression every year, I'm glad he's back

[Edward64]

Don't really root for the Longhorns but I'm glad to see that Arch is doing well. That family stays out of trouble, have some funny commercials, and seem to have pretty good genes.

Manning was thrown into the game during the second quarter when Longhorns starting quarterback Quinn Ewers left the field through injury.

The redshirt freshman then threw for 223 yards and completed nine of 12 passes on his way to throwing four touchdowns.

But it was on the floor that Manning wowed the 101,892 fans in attendance as he rushed for 67 yards to the end zone, leaving the trailing defenders in his wake as he added to the Longhorns’ tally.

While the other poll still had UGAg as a dominant #1

Not often that you get two teams from Illinois in the top 25.

on that touchdown run, Arch Manning hit 20.7 mph. The fastest recorded speed so far in the NFL this season was Tyreek Hill at 20.2

Sneaky athleticism.

In an email to season ticket holders Tuesday, Tennessee announced a 10% increase labeled a "talent fee" to season ticket sales.

It's part of revenue sharing between the school and athletes.

This is going to add to the wacky.

Breaking:
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has signed an executive order allowing state schools to directly compensate athletes with NIL opportunities.
Per Kemp, The NCAA or any conference can not take "adverse action" against the schools for assisting in NIL.
No school can use state…

We have longtime ACC rivals Stanford and Syracuse playing tonight.

[bob]

Excellent defense, geoff collins…

[bob]

Midway through the 2nd quarter and James Madison has 46 points

[bob]

JMU hit the over by themselves in the first half.

[Thomkal]

Virginia playing at Coastal Carolina for the first time right now, they are already up 7-0 in the first quarter


Sadly Virginia lead start to finish but we did score 24 points sadly we gave up 43. So still a lot of work to do.

[Edward64]

Hogs go up 7-0 over Auburn on our second series.

We’ve done well running but much of it was by QB so worried about over reliance. Our defense looked really soft (like last week), Tigers marching down the field pretty good but we got an INT.

An entertaining game so far.

[Edward64]

Wild and sloppy offensive play in last 2 min of 1H.

3 interceptions, Hogs 2, Tigers 1


Edit: both Auburn and Hogs have put in QB2. A little disappointed in Taylen Green's first SEC game, he keeps defense off balance because of his great run game, but passing is lacking so far.

[GrantDawg]

After Georgia held them to 3 points to start the season, Clemson has scored more points in two games than any team in the AP era. That's crazy.

[GrantDawg]

They keep talking about that mom for the WR for Auburn on the game versus Arkansas. She is a teacher at my alma mater, and started there the year after I left.

[SirFozzie]

Kent State is only losing by 49 this week. Real progress being made.

[Edward64]

Hogs win it 24-14 to go 3-1.

Fugly win but I'll take it. Taylen Green 12/27 for 151 yards, 1 TD and 2 Int, and 80 yards of rushing. Petrino needs to work on his passing game (and confidence).

Looks like beating Aggies is our best chance for a 6-6. SoS is all over the place but 4 top 10 teams is a pretty brutal schedule.

#25 Texas A&M
#6 Tennessee
#16 LSU
Mississippi
#5 Ole Miss
#1 Texas
LA Tech
#7 Missouri
