#20 Georgia – 31
ATHENS, Ga. -- The Bulldogs were victorious against the UCLA Bruins between the hedges. The first play from scrimmage nearly set the tone for an upset in the making as QB J. Cox threw a deep pass into a cover 2-man coverage where he was intercepted. The Bruins were not able to capitalize as the Bulldogs defense forced a punt. On the next drive Georgia put QB Logan Gray into the lineup. He marched down the field, but threw a pick on the one yard line as he tried to connect with star receiver A.J. Green. The Bulldog defense was able to come up with points as senior Geno Atkins bull rushed through line to sack Kevin Craft for a safety.
After the safety, Mark Richt pulled his offense all together to give them a pep talk before the next series. They decided to go a different route instead of throwing the whole game. They got back to the basics by handing the ball off, and a star was born in HB Caleb King. King led the team with a 34-yard run, a 57-yard, and a 3-yard run all for touchdowns. The UCLA Bruins learned fast that Caleb King was not going down after the first hit, he gained 118 yards after first contact.
UCLA's offense was not able to wake up in time to move the ball against the Bulldogs. The Bulldog defense created four turnovers and the offense was able to take advantage by gaining 260-yards of total offense. Two of the four turnovers came on special team kickoffs where they forced two fumbles.
Georgia finished 4/6 on third down.
