challenge as they face UMass in a non-conference matchup this Saturday. While this game is expected to be the easiest of the season for Georgia, given UMass’s record of only two wins, the Bulldogs are still in the race for a spot in the College Football Playoff, and they can’t afford to slack off.
Before the game kicks off, let’s take a look at some bold predictions and see if any of them come true this week.
1. Georgia shuts out UMass Shutting out any team is always a difficult task, no matter the opponent. While Georgia is one of the nation’s top teams this season and UMass has struggled, holding them scoreless would still be a major feat.
However, this Georgia defense has proven it’s up to the challenge. Just last week, they held Tennessee, one of the country’s top offenses, to zero points in the second half. They also nearly kept Clemson scoreless earlier this year. So, it wouldn’t be too surprising if they managed to achieve a shutout.
In this game, Georgia’s backups are expected to see significant playing time in the second half, which could allow UMass to move the ball enough to get into field goal range and score three points. But the Bulldogs’ backups should still be good enough to prevent that from happening.
