Saturday’s matchup against the University of Massachusetts may not be the most exciting game on paper, but it does present Georgia with some reasonable goals to accomplish.
Same as last week’s momentum
Georgia heads into the UMass game with momentum following Georgia’s 31-17 win over No. 11 Tennessee last week. The Tennessee game was perhaps Georgia’s most complete performance. The defense got a shutout win in the second half, and Carson Beck responded. Many think Georgia will take it easy against the University of Massachusetts, but if Georgia wants to be part of the nation’s elite, it should operate with the same mindset it did against Tennessee.
bring in young people
If UGA’s starters can do their jobs, they will have a chance to meet some of the younger players. We all know about freshmen KJ Bolden, Chris Cole, and Nate Frazier, but with freshman wide receiver Nitro Tuggle getting more playing time, the University of Massachusetts should provide more opportunities to see the young players. is. Running back Chauncey Bowens, linebacker Justin Williams and cornerback Ellis Robinson IV are three freshmen players to watch.
There are no injuries
Georgia has been plagued by injuries throughout the season. UGA will be without two starting pitchers this Saturday. Rising running back Trevor Etienne and wide receiver Dillon Bell will not play in the UMass game. There’s no doubt that head coach Kirby Smart wants to get the University of Massachusetts out of the game injury-free heading into Friday’s game against Georgia Tech.
