Georgia Football: 3 simple things to do on offense to beat vulnerable Vandy
By Rick Beach
For their Week 4 matchup, Georgia football will travel to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt, where the Dawgs look to stay undefeated on the season.
The Commodores are 1-2 so far this season as they opened the season up with an embarrassing loss to East Tennessee State University.
Defensively, Vanderbilt is struggling. The Commodores have only accounted for one sack and one interception this season. In their last two games, Vanderbilt allowed 200-plus yards passing and rushing. If ever there was a team the Dawgs needed to play before a brutal stretch like Arkansas, Auburn and Kentucky, it would be the Commodores.
Since Georgia’s opening game against Clemson, they have shown that Todd Monken’s offense has the potential to be remarkable. They’ve managed to look this good while still missing some key players.
Kearis Jackson did play some snaps at wide receiver against South Carolina. However, Dominick Blaylock, Darnell Washington and George Pickens have yet to play for this explosive offense.
JT Daniels also appears to be feeling better since missing the UAB game. Against South Carolina, he completed 23-31with three touchdowns and one interception. Drawing the ire of many Georgia fans, head coach Kirby Smart went with a quarterback rotation at the start of the game against the Gamecocks.
After two successful touchdown drives and leading the Gamecocks 14-3, Smart inserted Stetson Bennett, who promptly threw an interception on his first play in the game.
As much as Bennett played himself into the lineup with his five touchdown performance against UAB, he played himself out with the interception — not seeing the field again until the game was well in hand.
So as we mostly already know, Georgia is rolling on offense this season, and with Vandy being Vandy, here are three things the offense needs to do to keep the train moving and move to 4-0, 2-0 on the season.
