'Dawgs vs. 'Dores

Vanderbilt (+14.5) at #16 Georgia

The Bulldogs will try to right the ship the next two weeks before a season-defining trip to Jacksonville at the end of October. Unfortunately for Georgia, the first of those two opponents, the Commodores of Vanderbilt, are anything but a pushover. After this game, I think there will still be a lot of questions about this Georgia offense, and we still won’t know who the starting quarterback for the rest of the season will be. That’s because the Vandy defense is pretty darn good, having given up no more than 27 points in a game this year (and that was at #4 Michigan).



The good news for the Bulldogs is that the Commodores have struggled to put points on the board. They have yet to score 20 against an opponent who wasn’t god-awful (Tennessee State and Temple come to mind here). And having to face a Georgia defense trying to prove its legitimacy after getting torched by Tennessee last week will not help matters. If Georgia doesn’t allow Chris Nickson’s mobility to get the best of them, they should have no problem shutting the Vanderbilt offense down completely.

The offense does their usual 12:30 kickoff sleepwalk, but they come alive in the second half behind a defense with a chip on its shoulder.

Georgia - 23, Vanderbilt - 10
