Before Saturday’s game against Kentucky, quarterback Carson Beck was asked to give his take on tight end Brock Bowers.

“He’s super-human,” Beck said. “He makes plays over, and over again. There are some plays, you get it to him, and you think he may get three or four yards. Then he takes it 25. It’s insane. It’s definitely great to have someone like that on your side.”

Bowers quickly brushed off Beck’s comment after the game.

“No, no, not at all,” laughed Bowers, whose performance in Saturday’s 51-13 rout of Kentucky was certainly worthy of Beck’s praise.

For the third straight game, Bowers proved too much to handle for the opposing team.

Bowers posted his third straight 100-yard game, leading all Bulldog receivers with seven catches for 132 yards and a touchdown. The 100-yard game was the 10th of his career.

Kentucky certainly had no answers.

Bowers was open by 15 yards when he hauled in a 49-yard catch in the second quarter. He was just getting started.

Beck added to his totals in the third quarter, grabbing two more passes for 25 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown and a 41-13 lead.

He now has 36 catches for 545 yards and is well on his way to catching Terrence Edwards for the most single-season yards receiving in school history.

He now has 2,369 career receiving yards, which moves him to sixth in school history. Also, he has 24 career touchdown receptions, which ranks second.

…Offensive lineman Amarius Mims (ankle) and running back Roderick Robinson (ankle) did not dress out; both players are out of their protective boots.

…Freshman defensive lineman Jamall Jarrett did not dress out. He was seen wearing a boot on the Georgia sideline.

…The Bulldogs received a scare in the second quarter when Bowers entered the injury tent. Bowers remained in the tent for almost five minutes before exiting with a bandage over his right calf. He returned to the game two plays later.

…Center Sedrick Van Pran also had to exit the game in the second quarter. Van Pran was able to walk off the field under his own power. He was replaced by redshirt sophomore Jared Wilson before re-entering the game in the third quarter.

...Defensive tackle Jonathan Jefferson went down in the fourth quarter, but walked off the field under his own power.

…David Daniel-Sisavanh and Darris Smith did not play.

"Yeah, both of them weren't able to make it,”’Smart said. “One of them was dealing with sickness, and one of them couldn't be with us."

Bowers was not the only Bulldog receiver to enjoy a big game. Wide receivers RaRa Thomas and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint did as well.

Thomas came into the game with nine catches for 167 yards, but finished Saturday with five for 63.

One of his catches was of an impressive 15-yard touchdown, after leaping high to pull in the pass and still managing to keep his left foot inbounds.

“He’s a guy who can change our offense. Obviously, Brock is special and Carson is having a good year, but it loosens the defense up when you’ve got a guy over there who can win some one-on-ones,” Smart said. “If he comes to life and keeps growing like he has, he makes us harder to defend.”

Rosemy-Jacksaint was even more impressive.

The senior finished with four catches for 99 yards, including a 40-yarder from Beck for Georgia’s first score.

After a slow start to the season, freshman kicker Peyton Woodring is finding his range.

Woodring was a perfect 3-for-3 on field goals, converting kicks of 36, 42, and 32 yards against the Wildcats.

The Louisiana native is now 9 of 12 on the year. He finished with 17 points.

…Saturday’s captains were Beck, Smael Mondon, Rosemy-Jacksaint, and Malaki Starks.

…Lawson Luckie saw his first action, coming in to play tight end in the game midway through the fourth quarter. He missed the first five games with an ankle injury, although he did dress out the past two weeks.

…Andrew Paul had a nice run on his first carry, picking up 13 yards. He later tallied his first career touchdown when he took a swing pass from Brock Vandagriff and scored from 7 yards out.

…Freshman tight end Pearce Spurling III caught a 25-yard pass. His only previous reception was a 4-yarder.

… With Saturday’s 51-13 win over No. 20 Kentucky, top-ranked Georgia (6-0, 3-0 SEC) has extended its school record for consecutive victories to 23. The streak began during the 2021 season (Dec. 31) when the Bulldogs beat No. 2 Michigan 34-11 in a CFP semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl. This streak ranks as a tie for the fourth longest in SEC history (Tennessee won 23 straight from 1937-39).

… Georgia now has won 23 consecutive home games, which ranks second in school history behind a 24-game home winning streak from 1980-83. The current home streak began with a 21-0 shutout of Kentucky on Oct. 19, 2019.

… The Bulldogs extended their school record for consecutive regular season wins to 33, which leads all of FBS. This streak began during the 2020 season with a 31-24 win over Miss. State. on Nov. 21.

… Defensive Review: Kentucky was limited to 13 points, finishing with 183 yards of offense on 50 plays. The Wildcats were just 2-for-11 on third-down conversions.

… The Bulldogs had three sacks. Junior Jamon Dumas-Johnson (1.5 sacks), junior Kamar Lassiter, sophomore Jalon Walker, and freshman Raylen Wilson each had half a sack.

… Starks had five stops followed by Lassiter and Dumas-Johnson with four apiece.

... In the first half, Kentucky managed just seven points, gaining 127 yards on 30 plays. The Wildcats were 2-for-7 on third down.

… Georgia became the first team to gain over 100 rushing yards against Kentucky this season, tallying 173 yards for a 5.6 yards per rush. Coming in, Kentucky ranked eighth nationally, allowing just 2.5 yards per rush, and ninth nationally at 75.8 yards per game.

… Senior running back Daijun Edwards had 54 yards on nine carries, while senior Kendall Milton had 47 yards on eight carries, including a five-yard touchdown.

… Georgia went 6-for-6 (four touchdowns, two field goals) in the red zone while Kentucky was just 1-for-1 (touchdown).

… Georgia did not force any turnovers; Kentucky had a touchdown off one interception. The Bulldogs are +1 in turnover margin this season.
