After ending the 52-20 win over South Carolina Saturday with an NCAA completion percentage record on more than 20 attempts — 96 percent — on 24-of-25 passing for 330 yards and three touchdowns for the game, the Lambert honor train is rolling.

Lambert is the Southeastern Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week AND a  Manning Award Stars of the Week AND the College Football Performance Award’s (CFPA) National Performer of the Week.

Said Steve Spurrier to Georgiadogs.com, “That’s pretty good.”

Crazy good.

The junior from Jesup also set the Georgia record for consecutive completions by completing 20 passes in a row to end the contest, topping Mike Bobo’s record of 19 set by in the 1998 Outback Bowl.

Lambert connected with nine different receivers in his third  Georgia game. The South Carolina offense had no answer for Lambert or the rest of the Georgia offense as the Dawgs rolled up 576 total yards. Lambert, a graduate transfer from, Virginia had the pleasure of leading the 52-point attack, the most ever points ever scored by Georgia against a Steve Spurrier coached team.

Lambert spread the wealth, throwing to nine different receivers during his tour de force. Malcolm Mitchell led the Dawgs with eight catches for 122-yards and one touchdown. As the game wore on and Lambert’s one hitter extended into the night, the Georgia receiving corps stepped up to snag anything flying within the confines of Sanford Stadium.

Observed the Head Ball Coach, “Kid played well. Had a lot of open receivers and they caught everything. Give them credit, they caught everything.”

The Georgia blitzkrieg was complemented by the infantry attack of running back Nick Chubb, who finished the game with 159 yards and two touchdowns, and Sony Michel, who added another 51 yards on the ground and one touchdown. Keith Marshall scored the last touchdown of the contest.

“It all comes down to execution,” said Lambert after the game and reported by Georgiadogs .com “It all comes down to just rhythmic offensive possessions back-to-back. For our offense to go out there and put points up on those first drives was big.”

Crazy big.
