Bluegrass Whippin’: 7 takeaways from Georgia football’s 7th win

Could Brock Bowers become the 2nd player in Georgia football history to reach 1,000 receiving yard in a season?

Only one player in the history of Georgia football has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in a single season – Terrence Edwards. He reached the mark in 2002, accumulating 1,004 yards by season’s end.

In the modern college football world of high-flying offenses and porous defenses, it never stops being shocking that Edwards is the only player in school history with a 1,000-yard receiving season, especially when you factor in that a guy named AJ Green once played Between the Hedges.

Could Brock Bowers join Terrence Edwards in the 1k club? He might be able to do it as a true freshman.

Let’s run some numbers and see what he’d have to do to get there. After his 101 yards receiving Saturday against Kentucky, Bowers now sits at 416 yards on the season.

If Georgia continues on the path to Indianapolis, that gives Bowers, if healthy, eight more games to tally yards in before season’s end.

If he averaged 73 yards receiving in those eight games, that would put him over the 1,000-yard threshold.

It’s certainly not a foregone conclusion, and Bowers may not even come close to hitting that number, but it is certainly something to monitor as the games roll by.

Not to mention, the closer he gets to the record means the Dawgs are playing deep in to the postseason, which is a win-win for everybody.
