No. 1 Georgia is on the verge of disaster in its SEC opener against Kentucky in Week 3. Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs trail Mark Stoops Kentucky Wildcats and former Georgia backup quarterback Brock Vandagriff 6-3 at halftime. 

The Georgia defense has still not allowed a touchdown the entire season, after 34-3 and 48-3 wins over Clemson and Tennessee Tech, but the offense continues to have issues. In Week 1 against the Tigers, Georgia led just 6-3 at halftime and fans were upset with offensive coordinator Mike Bobo then. Now, they’re mad at Bobo and even more frustrated with Smart for employing him. 

Through the first half against a Kentucky team coming off a 31-6 loss to South Carolina, Georgia has only gained 63 total yards and Carson Beck is 5/11 for 32 yards. The Bulldogs have only managed 2.7 yards per play with a revamped receiving corps and arguably the best NFL prospect in the country at quarterback. 

Which is a lot more positive of a solution than most fans have had. Many just want Bobo fired and others have even more creative solutions. 

Some of the Bulldogs' faithful aren’t just blaming Bobo for this sluggish start but for last season’s loss in the SEC Championship game that kept the Dawgs out of the final four-team College Football Playoff. 

It’s not clear what Georgia’s offensive game plan has been in the first half. Trevor Etienne has only managed 26 yards on nine carries and the transfer running back could be out for the second half with a shoulder injury.
