Georgia’s senior quarterback Joe Cox has only hit on 56% of his passes with 21 touchdowns but a very high 14 interceptions on the year. Cox had critical mistakes last week with two interceptions and a fumbled pitch out attempt. Cox was only 12 of 30 against the Wildcats but made those 12 receptions count for 291 yards and two touchdowns. The trio of running backs the Bulldogs have used all combine for about a 4.7 yards a carry average. Georgia has had some issues on defense this season as they give up 26 ½ points per game. The positive on the Bulldogs defense is that they do defend the run pretty well sitting third in the SEC by giving up just 120 yards and a 3.3 yards per carry against average. They will need their best run stopping effort of the season against Georgia Tech.
