No. 2 Georgia and No. 8 Arkansas will face off in the first top-10 SEC matchup of the season in Athens this afternoon.
The Razorbacks are off to their first 4-0 start since 2003 when Houston Nutt was at the helm. This time, head coach Sam Pittman will face off against his old employer as he was the Bulldogs’ offensive line coach from 2016-19. He will rely on QB KJ Jefferson to lead the offense as long as he can stay healthy. Jefferson left last week’s game against Texas A&M with a bruised knee, but later returned to finish out the game.
Jefferson will have to go against the Georgia Bulldogs’ stout defense, they boast the No. 1 ranked defense in the nation this season. UGA’s linebackers will be something to watch in this game, Channing Tindall, Nolan Smith, Nakobe Dean and Adam Anderson have combined for 8.5 sacks, a fumble recovery and an interception this season.
Offensively, Georgia will look to find the balance between their run game with QB JT Daniels leading the way with 567 passing yards and five touchdowns. He missed the game against UAB with an oblique injury, he is now dealing with lat muscle issues before this game.
The Razorbacks defense might not have the same impressive stat line as the Bulldogs, but they have had impressive performances this season with big wins against No. 15 Texas and No. 7 Texas A&M where they allowed a combined 31 points.
If both quarterbacks can stay healthy, it should be a good battle between these SEC teams in Sanford stadium
