Notes from UGA Football’s win over Ball State:
*Defense Posts Another Shutout For Three Quarters: For the second straight week, top-ranked Georgia blanked its opponent until the fourth quarter as it improved to 2-0. Today, Ball State was limited to 68 yards on 26 plays in the first half and finished with 224 yards on 65 plays. The Cardinals avoided a shoutout when they made a 27-yard field goal with 9:05 left in the game to make it 45-3. It capped a 15 play, 55-yard drive in 6:41 Last week, Georgia shut out UT Martin until 6:39 left in the contest when they scored a TD as the Bulldogs won 48-7.
Georgia’s leading tacklers were junior Smael Mondon and freshman AJ Harris with four stops apiece. Sophomore Malaki Starks notched his first INT of the season and third of his career. He gave the Bulldogs the football at their own 22 with 12:41 left in the 2nd quarter with Georgia leading 7-0. It led to TD. Later in the quarter, junior LB Chaz Chambliss notched his first career INT. That led to a TD (two plays, 30 yards in 51 seconds)) and a 21-0 advantage. Senior Tykee Smith notched his first INT (on a PBU by Daylen Everette) as a Bulldog and fifth of his career. He took it to the BSU 20, and it led to a TD. Georgia scored 21 points off three INTs. The last time Georgia had three picks in a game was last season in a 48-7 road win over South Carolina.
*Early Special Teams Spark: Redshirt sophomore Mekhi Mews served as the punt returner (3-for-111 yards, 1 TD) with a 69-yarder for a TD in the 2nd quarter, the first by a Bulldog since 2018 when Mecole Hardman had a 70-yarder against Middle Tennessee. Also, Mews opened the game with a career-long 47-yard kickoff return, and he had three catches for 27 yards. True freshman PK Peyton Woodring registered nine points, going 6-for-6 on PATs and 1-2 on field goals (made 35-yarder, missed 28-yarder). Junior Jared Zirkel handled kickoffs. Sophomore Brett Thorson punted thrice for a 45.3 average.
