Finally, the first full crowd at Sanford Stadium occurred since the pandemic started. Roughly 93,000 fans showed up to watch Georgia win 56-7 against the UAB Blazers. Stetson Bennett started for the injured JT Daniels, and Stetson had a spectacular night. The “Mailman” delivered, the offense thrived and the defense kept UAB out of the end zone.
Though Georgia’s passing game looked elite, their run game was not as impressive as fans expected, but UAB has arguably the best defensive line in C-USA and a top-ranked line nationally. Georgia had success throwing the ball downfield. They acquired a big lead and because of that lead, the only reason to run the ball would be to maintain possession and kill the clock, so there are excuses for the lackluster run game.
