ATHENS - Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs started getting ready for the 2022 season on Saturday in Sanford Stadium

 Jared Zirkel kicked a 27-yard field goal as time expired to lift Team Black to a 26-23 win over Team Red in Georgia’s G-Day Game on Saturday in front of 68,002 fans at Sanford Stadium and an ESPN2 audience.

Quarterback Stetson Bennett went 15-of-35 for 273 yards and three touchdowns to pace Team Black. Tailbacks Kenny McIntosh and Kendall Milton combined to rush for 44 yards on 12 carries. Kearis Jackson paced the receivers as he hauled in four passes for 107 yards, including a 25-yarder to set up Zirkel’s game-winning kick. Tight end Arik Gilbert pulled in three catches for 49 yards, including two scores.

Quarterback Carson Beck went 13-of-21 for 246 yards to lead Team Red. Quarterback Brock Vandagriff led Team Red with 45 yards on three rushes. Tailback Daijun Edwards added 29 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries. Tight end Oscar Delp was Team Red’s top receiver with seven catches for 91 yards.

In post-game observations, Dawg Post’s Dean Legge asked if the Dawgs can fight their way in 2022

"Unlike a season ago where the Dawgs took a hammer and nail to everyone on their schedule, this season might involve screws and a screwdriver. There are different ways to win, and this year Georgia will have to out-talent less, and out fight more. How do you do that?”

Dawg Post’s Matt DeBary said Carson Beck was the quarterback who stood out the most

“Carson Beck came out on fire and showed that he’s one of the top backup quarterbacks in the country. The third-year quarterback threw the ball accurately all day and really tried to push the ball down the field. He started the scrimmage with a beautiful deep ball that was completed to receiver Arian Smith. He came out slinging, and he had a very good day overall, going 13/21 for 246 yards.”
