Nov. 19    vs. Louisiana-Lafayette

Players to Watch: RB Elijah McGuire, WR Al Riles, S Savion Brown

Preview: Louisiana-Lafayette is coming off a disappointing 4-8 campaign in 2015. The Rajin’ Cajuns will look to have a bounce-back year. The guy that will be counted on to carry the team will be star running back Elijah McGuire. McGuire is the only active FBS player with at least 3,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving. He comes off a solid 2015 season in which he rushed for 1,058 yards and 13 touchdowns.

However, the rest of the offense is a huge question mark as no one quite knows what to expect from athletic quarterback Jordan Davis or the unit as a whole. It does not help matters that All-Sun Belt receiver Jamal Robinson graduated last year.

The defense is another mediocre unit, but it is highlighted by all-conference corner Savion Brown. Other than that the unit is pretty much garbage as they were the No. 90 defense in the FBS last year.

Bottom Line: No offense to the Rajin’ Cajuns, but they should not give Georgia much trouble. By this time the Bulldog offense will be in rhythm, and this game has Jacob Eason written all over it. He’ll pass for over 300 yards, and the rest of the offense will have a field day. It will be a nice, easy win before their last game against hated in-state rival Georgia Tech.

Prediction: Georgia 55-ULL 10

Next: Nov. 26 vs. Georgia Tech
