Georgia Postgame Notes vs. Southern
September 26, 2015 | Football
Chubb Hits Century Mark Again: After rushing for 31 yards in the first half, sophomore TB Nick Chubb finished with 131 yards on 15 carries (8.7 avg.) and two touchdowns, including a 49-yarder that put him over the century mark. Chubb also had one 24-yard catch for a touchdown. He has rushed for more than 100 yards in 12 games in a row, which is one shy of Herschel Walker's mark of 13 that bridged the 1980-81 seasons and included the Sugar Bowl to cap a perfect season. Toledo's Kareem Hunt has also rushed for 100 or more yards in 12 straight and plays at 7 p.m. tonight.
Offense Doesn't Miss A Beat: Georgia came in today averaging 44.7 points per game and cruised to a 48-6 win over Southern in the first-ever meeting with the Jaguars. Georgia tallied 532 yards of total offense on the day and pulled away with a 28-point outburst in the third quarter. Georgia had 261 yards rushing and 271 through the air. Sanford Stadium fans also were treated to a halftime performance by the Jaguars band, also known as the "Human Jukebox," and they played in the stands following the game too.
Richt Gets 140th Win: With the latest victory, the Bulldogs are 58-11 against teams from outside the SEC under March Richt including 41-2 at home. Also of note, Richt collected his 140th career victory, which ties him for ninth all-time in the SEC with Georgia's Wallace Butts. Bulldog legend Vince Dooley is third all-time with 201 wins.
Lambert's Consistency Continues: With two more completions to start today's game, junior QB Greyson Lambert pushed his school record to 22 consecutive completions after competing his final 20 straight to end the South Carolina game. He finished 9-for-10 for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Last week, Lambert's record-setting performance featured 24-for-25 for 330 yards and 3 TDs. Sophomore Brice Ramsey completed 11-of-14 for 125 yards today.
Mitchell Hits 96: Senior receiver Malcolm Mitchell complemented his 122-yard receiving performance versus South Carolina wit a five-catch, 96-yard performance against Southern today. Mitchell also scored a touchdown against the Jaguars.
Marshall Connects Early: Senior PK Marshall Morgan drilled a season-long 47-yard field goal to put the Bulldogs up 3-0 for the second consecutive week in the opening period. He then connected on a 25-yard field goal at the end of the second quarter. Marshall is now 4-for-6 on the year and 10-for-17 from 40-49 yards in his career. Morgan stands sixth in the school history with 50 field goals made. Georgia's last field goal attempt of the day was by senior Patrick Beless.
Blocked Punt: Sophomore CB Malkom Parrish blocked his first career punt for the Bulldogs in the first quarter, which gave Georgia the ball at the Southern 27. Two plays later, Nick Chubb caught a 24-yard touchdown catch (third of his career) from Greyson Lambert. This is Georgia's first blocked punt since freshman D'Andre Walker had his first career punt block versus Louisiana at Monroe in this year's opener. Walker's block resulted in a safety.
Leading Tacklers: Sophomore Quincy Mauger, junior Tim Kimbrough and freshman Trent Thompson led the Bulldogs with five tackles each. This tied Kimbrough's career high and was a career high for Thompson. Georgia limited Southern to one touchdown and 184 yards of total offense. Georgia blanked Southern in the second half, holding them to 34 yards.
Another Freshman Debut: Freshman DE Michael Barnett played for the first time in his career giving the Bulldogs 22 true freshmen who have played, which leads the nation.
