Georgia Beats Vanderbilt, 37-20

The Georgia Bulldogs used a 17-point second quarter to push past the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, by a score of 37-20.

The No. 1-ranked Bulldogs (7-0 overall and 4-0 in the SEC) won the game but lost start tight end Brock Bowers to an ankle injury.

Georgia Loses Bowers

After the game, Georgia Coach Kirby Smart said that X-rays were negative on Bowers’ injury, but that he would have an MRI done as well.

The injury to Georgia’s most talented offensive player comes at the right time for the Dawgs, who will need Bowers to heal if they’re going to win their third straight SEC title.

“I’ve never had a bye week that came at the wrong time,” Smart said after the game.

Let’s take a look at the Georgia-Vanderbilt highlights:

UGA quarterback Carson Beck finished with 261 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a score.

The Georgia schedule is at the halfway mark as the Dawgs won’t play again until Oct. 28.
