Georgia football running back Kenny McIntosh has made Vanderbilt’s defense look silly through the air and on the ground. The Commodores have no answers for him as he scored the Dawgs’ first two touchdowns in the first quarter.

McIntosh’s first touchdown came off a short pass where he juked out both defenders to score. Vanderbilt saw the shift and didn’t adjust until it was too late. Starting quarterback Stetson Bennett threw it to him, and McIntosh did a great job making guys miss.

His second touchdown was like the parting of the red sea as the Dawgs’ offensive line gave him a hole so wide a grandmother could run through it. McIntosh sped through that hole and put the Dawgs up 14-0 through the first quarter. 

Georgia football stud Kenny McIntosh exposed Vanderbilt’s defense.

So far, McIntosh has five carries for 28 yards and a score. He also has two catches for 20-yards, including the one catch that resulted in an 11-yard touchdown. It doesn’t seem like much, but the Dawgs are rolling against Vanderbilt and doing it quickly.

McIntosh is so versatile and can do whatever the coaches need him to on offense. With Kendall Milton out for this game, McIntosh has the opportunity to really prove himself, and so far, he has.

Georgia has not left off the gas yet on either side of the ball and shouldn’t until the final whistle to end the game. This offense has a point to prove, and McIntosh is already doing his part. It’s great to see him running with this much confidence and being someone Bennett can trust.

McIntosh could run with his eyes closed and would gain positive yards on this Commodore defense. His confidence continues to grow, and it’s exciting to see him emerge as “that guy” for Georgia.

Both his touchdowns were perfect play calls from offensive coordinator Todd Monken as the Dawgs are already making the Commodores question why they came to Athens.
