Georgia Bulldogs Prepare for Austin Peay Season Opener at Sanford Stadium

The Georgia Bulldogs are preparing for their Week 2 matchup against Austin Peay, focusing on building depth and continuing their strong performance after a convincing win over Marshall. Analysts, including CBS Sports' Danny Kanell, have praised Georgia's offensive weapons such as Gunner Stockton and transfer Zachariah Branch, highlighting their effectiveness in the season opener. Georgia head coach Kirby Smart emphasized that despite Austin Peay being an FCS school, they present a disruptive and hard-working challenge, especially on defense, which held Middle Tennessee State to just 153 yards in their recent upset. The Bulldogs' defense was dominant in their first game, shutting out Marshall on most drives, and Georgia looks to maintain that momentum. Historically, Georgia routed Austin Peay 45-0 in their 2018 meeting at Sanford Stadium, showcasing a powerful running game and efficient quarterback play. This year's game promises to be another opportunity for Georgia to test their roster and build on early season success while respecting their opponent's capabilities.
