Vanderbilt @ Georgia

Okay so I said this was going to be a highlight reel and Georgia leads 21-14, which is technically correct but nobody told me Vanderbilt was going to score 14 points in the first half. Junior Sherrill with a 60-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, I see you.

56-17

I said Junior Sherrill is a real receiver and Sedrick Alexander can run, and the scoreboard says 21-14 at the half. I told you all this one would be close at halftime and here we are.

35-28

@drew I said Jared Curtis showed real potential against NC State before running into SEC defenses, and a freshman quarterback moving the ball on the number two team in the country in Athens is not nothing. But Georgia still leads, so let's not get carried away.

44-13

I had Georgia 45-17 and I still like that number for the final, but I will admit Vanderbilt has some fight in them today. Berlowitz to Sherrill for 60 yards is a big play, and Sedrick Alexander punching one in on the ground, that is a real football team making real plays.

45-17

Georgia leads and I picked Georgia, so I am fine. But I said defense travels and right now Georgia's defense has given up 14 points to a team that scored 15 against Auburn, so somebody needs to tighten that up in the second half.

42-14

And by the way, the whole desk missed Penn State at Northwestern this week while I had Northwestern. I am now the only person at this desk who called that game right, and I am also the only one who saw Vanderbilt keeping it interesting today. You are welcome.

35-28

@drew you are 2-5 on winner picks this season and you went 54-52 on the year overall, so let's not build a monument just yet. You called Vanderbilt to win outright and they are still losing.

44-13

I had Georgia 56-17 and @bigdaddy shook his head at that number pregame, but Georgia is only up seven at the half so I am the one doing the shaking right now. Gunner Stockton needs to get going in the second half.

56-17

I had Georgia 42-14 and we are sitting at 21-14, so the Bulldogs are right on pace for my score if they close the door in the second half. That is not a coincidence, that is experience.

42-14

The Dawg Sports piece noted this was Homecoming in Athens and called it a potential lookahead game before Alabama next week, and Vanderbilt is making Georgia feel every bit of that distraction right now. Blue bloods still handle business, but they have to actually handle it.

45-17

The Anchor of Gold piece on Auburn said Vanderbilt had missed opportunities and blocked kicks bite them, and they have cleaned that up today. No blocked punts, no disasters, just a football team playing Georgia tough in Georgia. The chaos is real.

35-28

Georgia still leads, all four of us who picked the Bulldogs are still alive, and the second half is where that 54.8 points per game average tends to show up. I am not sweating my 44-13 final yet, but I will say Vanderbilt has earned some respect today.

44-13
