Georgia played host in their last OOC game to La Tech. This game went as one would expect with the Bulldogs ending with a 38-6 victory. Georgia made noise all over the field today, Both HB Trevor Etienne and Roderick Robinson II rushed for over 150 yards each on the ground, MLB Raylen Wilson grabbed a pick 6, and WR Arian Smith returned a kickoff 101 yards for a score. There were signs of life from La Tech but the moment they thought to have had something put together it would fall apart. The Dawgs D was too much coming away with 4 INTs on the day. "We go into every game playing our opponent like they are the number 1 team and we are the underdogs no matter who it is. We have to stay hungry and attack the field or we will get swallowed up. The team played well and kept the mistakes to a minimum and that is what we will need to finish this season out." said Coach Cane after the game. UGA still has Tennessee and Ga Tech left and need wins from them both if they have hopes of having a post season game.
