Georgia football: 9 quick takeaways from the Dawgs ninth victory

7. Georgia football saw their wideouts go above expectations

Georgia football saw nine different players get at least one catch against Missouri on Saturday.

After waiting weeks to get receivers healthy, the unit finally showed the world a piece of what they can do.

Jermaine Burton led the way with three catches on four targets for 76 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 19 yards after the catch, and if it weren’t for Missouri’s tricky secondary, he would have had three scores under his belt.

This guy was hungry to make some plays, and he did just that.

Another guy that shined against Missouri is Adonai Mitchell. He finished with three catches for 38 yards to have the second-most on the team.

Ladd McConkey had three catches for 36 yards and a score. His fellow freshman, Brock Bowers, made an incredible catch that was a bit high from Stetson Bennett that resulted in a first down, and that play told us what kind of weapon he is for the Dawgs.

Arian Smith caught the fourth-down touchdown pass from Bennett to give Georgia their first points of the day. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint joined in on the fun with two catches for 18 yards, and Kenny McIntosh had two catches for 37 yards.

Between Bennett and JT Daniels, they fed their receivers and tight ends well in this game. The Dawgs showed the world they have a passing unit that can win ballgames when a defense stacks the box and slows down the rush attack.

This performance is one to remember moving forward because it will be one that signified the start of what this passing attack does the rest of the season.
