Georgia knew they needed to make a statement on Saturday night against Oregon. The defending national champions were ranked behind Alabama and Ohio State in preseason polls. The #3 Dawgs didn’t waste much time scoring almost at will against the 11th ranked Ducks.
Georgia took control of the game so much, that many of the players who initially started were able to get some help and rest. Key positions such as wide receiver, running back, and quarterback were rotating younger players, especially in the second half.
Pictures speak louder than words. Enjoy some of the best moments from the 49-3 win!
