Georgia had an uneventful Saturday afternoon as it demolished the 49ers from Charlotte, NC 35-3. A nice quiet beatdown is exactly what the doctor ordered for a team that has weathered the ups and downs of a long football season. This game won’t be remembered as important in the context of the 2025 season, but UGA did ALL of the important things that can make this season memorable.
Celebrating Georgia’s Seniors and Rising Underclassmen
It was a feel-good moment for both the seniors and the underclassmen on Saturday. For the seniors, a spectacular career highlighted by a 49-5 record, the 2022 National Championship, and SEC Championships in both ’22 and ’24. For the underclassmen, patience and hard work were rewarded with playing time and numbers on the stat sheet!
Kirby Smart’s Culture on Full Display
This is important because it proves that Kirby means it when he says he emphasizes the culture of this program by celebrating the seniors' contributions. It’s also important for the future of the program to allow the young guys to see real playing time (before the portal opens) and show future recruits what UGA development looks like in real time. In addition to that, we were able to rest starters who we need to help us for a deep playoff run, notably Drew Bobo, Earnest Greene, CJ Allen, and Chauncey Bowens.
Bo Walker and Nate Frazier Lead the Offensive Explosion
Let’s give a shoutout to those who actually played as well. Bo Walker has been talked about a ton since before the season started, but boy does he look like he’s going to have a good career in the red and black! He dominated the day with 3 TDs on 9 carries for 48 yards, while Nate Frazier also did his thing with 12 carries for 54 yards and 2 TDs.
Georgia Maintains Momentum Ahead of Georgia Tech Matchup
This is exactly what I meant when I said that UGA needs to keep a rhythm going into Georgia Tech, and we did just that. Nearly 200 yards rushing and 5 TDs with an O-line and RB room at less than full strength. Meanwhile, the honey bees from Atlanta thought Pittsburgh was sweet and gave up 42 points and 200 yards rushing to ONE RB in their loss to the Panthers Saturday.
A Healthy Program That Handles Business
We overlook it as fans, but these wins show the good health of this program. We don’t stress unranked opponents because Kirby has this team focused and moving in the right direction. Rivals can make fun of the few arrests we have, but when you play us, all that giggling stops real quick.
