- OL/LB: Final availability report does not have any changes for UGA: OUT DB Tyriq Green DB Justice Fitzpatrick OLB Chase Linton OL Marcus Harrison

- Pick/market: I reread it this morning.

- WR/LB: Just needs to Jugs machine it and catch about 50 high point balls a day.

- Pick/market: Hawg fans will miss the end of Bugs Bunny.

- QB/LB: Unless the QB gets a lot better at Bama, and the run game, I just haven't been impressed so far.

- OL/DL: TN's OL and DL have the talent to cause some real issues .

- QB/OL: The only time the edge is allowed to bring it with a sudden ball of fury is obvious pass only and even then they’re used a lot to free others.

- Pick/market: Too low .

- The preview attributes only nine points across the first two games to Georgia's starting defense; Western Kentucky added two touchdowns after most starters had left. That separates starter performance from the final 20 points allowed last week, but the Tennessee State and Western Kentucky schedule limits the strength of the early evidence. - Georgia frequently uses Ellis Robinson in man coverage against an opponent's leading receiver, according to the preview. That coverage approach directly tests Arkansas' reported difficulty winning receiver matchups; Robinson has two pass breakups through the first two games. - The preview identifies KJ Bolden as a deep-field communicator with range and Chris Cole as a linebacker who can rush or drop into coverage. Cole's listed 2026 production is six tackles, two tackles for loss, half a sack and one pass breakup; those current totals are distinct from his career numbers.

- Smart cautioned that Georgia's defense and front seven have not yet faced a meaningful test: the leading unit played only a handful of series against the opening opponents. He praised effort and practice buy-in, but would not treat those early results as proof of SEC-level performance before the first road trip to Arkansas. - Chauncey Bowens has emerged as a third-down option because of receiving ability, pass protection and experience. Smart said the veteran backs have all had multiple years of blitz-pickup and receiving work, so this is evidence of passing-down flexibility rather than an announcement that Bowens owns every third-down snap. - Smart credited Taylor's greater receiving involvement to being healthy and having more opportunities. He highlighted explosive routes and willingness to block, while emphasizing continued development and keeping him healthy; the comments support an expanding role, not a promised target share. - Smart said Georgia has not intentionally held back quarterback runs through the first two games: the defense and game situation dictate those opportunities. Gunner's prior SEC road experience is a benefit, but Smart still expects adversity and did not announce a new run-heavy quarterback plan for Arkansas.

- Pick/market: 2 Georgia Bulldogs are 2-0 and coming off a 70-20 home win over Western Kentucky.

- Injury: Welcome to Rise and Grind, a daily series where I start every morning by sharing what's on my mind about Georgia football.

- Pick/market: The athletic just published a deep dive of each power 4 programs Nil budget.

- LB: Unfortunately, Finebaum recently suggested the SEC will be expanding again.

- Pick/market: Offensively, I was pleased to see J.

- QB/OL: UGA has crazy athleticism and length; When our OL is not blowing assignments they are pretty darn good; If OL does not stop blowing assignments they will get Gunner killed; Peal is an impressive...

- QB/OL: On offense sir.

- QB/LB: Those are his passing stats…definitely an integral part of a QB’s worth.

- LB: lol that is in the context of playing an air raid team that is trying to get the ball out in 2 seconds or less on any given play.

- WR/TE: You will see some stuff this weekend The rotations will shrink etc..

- Pick/market: now Georgia has recovered a fumble.
