First Look: Georgia

GEORGIA BULLDOGS: 0-1 overall, 0-0 in Southeastern Conference play

Last time out: After staking an early 7-0 lead, Georgia was completely manhandled by Boise State in Atlanta. The Broncos, led by quarterback Kellen Moore, scored 28 unanswered points en route to a 35-21 win.

To date: The Bulldogs are 0-1.

Who and what to watch for: UGA had some success offensively, racking up 373 total yards. Quarterback Aaron Murray, who was named to the All-SEC preseason first team, didn't have a great night but did throw for two touchdowns. Tight end Orson Charles had six receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown. Heralded freshman tailback Isaiah Crowell had 60 yards on 15 carries in his debut. Where the Bulldogs really suffered was in third down conversions. UGA was a paltry 2-for-13 on the night in that department.

On defense, UGA was equally susceptible to letdowns both on the ground and in the air. Boise State ran the ball well with a total of 129 yards on 30 carries. The Broncos also moved the ball at will via the passing game. Nine different BSU players had at least on reception.
