Georgia Football begins title defense after easy victory
Georgia Football, national champions who are defending their title, had 15 players leave to enter the NFL as a draft. However, despite the loss of these players, Bulldogs who are No. 3 looked just fine in their first game of the season, beating 11th place Oregon 49-3.
Georgia Football’s defense was beyond hard to catch up for the Ducks, even with their main defensive player missing.
Previous to the 2019 NFL draft, Georgia football had many players drafted. Now, there are less players. Nevertheless, coach Kirby Smart said he is optimistic about his team’s future in terms of a CFP berth.
The victory seems to be just a temporary relief for the coach, who knows there is still much work that needs to be done.
“Expectation are in check,” Smart said. “You don’t have to worry.”
Georgia Football’s offense came on this past Saturday night against Oregon. Quarterback, Stetson Bennett previously a walk-on led the Bulldogs to their first national title in 41 years. He completed 25 of 31 passes for 368 yards and 2 touchdowns.
With only 21 seconds left in the first half, Bennett spins away from four Oregon defenders and somehow sees Ladd McConkey wide open in the end zone and scores a 4 yard touchdown. The score at halftime was Georgia 28, Oregon 3.

The team worked hard to earn a quarterbacks position and was successful since JT Daniels was injured.
Stetson is not influenced by anything, including me, you, or anyone else. He lives in his own world and does a good job of blocking out the noise, even though he still uses a flip phone.
The coach thinks player x has a lot of potential and made some good plays. He also made some decisions that weren’t so great, but the coach acknowledges that he knows those mistakes and will do better in the future.

The Georgia Bulldogs scored a touchdown on all of their first seven possessions and converted their first nine third-down opportunities. The team was flawless in the red zone, scoring a total of six touchdowns, without any punts for nearly two quarters.
Oregon had 313 yards of offense and averaged 4.6 yards per play, but the Georgia Football’s defense is much improved. They only allowed 9.2 yards per play, had two interceptions, and stopped Oregon at the 3-yard line with 1:22 left to play.
“We don’t want to be the hunted,” said safety Christopher Smith. “We want to hunt.”

Marcus Mariota is the first player from the University of Oregon to win a Heisman Trophy, receiving 90.92% of possible points.
Mariota turned down a recruitment from Oregon and still won the Heisman award. This was in contrast to the scholarships offered by Oregon for potential contenders like Joey Harrington. They put up posters in Times Square, with just “Joey Heisman” written on them.
Mariota won the Heisman Trophy due to breaking all of Oregon’s records for total offense, total points, and passing. She also won the Pac-12 Championship.
Eight players from the University of Oregon have received Heisman votes, with LaMichael James receiving votes in 2010 and 2011. The only player to receive first place finishes was Cam Newton, who won it in 2010. Six other players including LaMichael James came in third place.
