Georgia’s offense has leaned heavily on its tight ends, a strategy that paid off brilliantly against Tennessee. Carson Beck, the Bulldogs’ quarterback, connected with tight ends for 130 yards and two touchdowns in the previous game. Junior tight end Oscar Delp shined, notching his first two touchdowns of the season, while freshman standout Lawson Luckie has emerged as the leader among the tight ends, with 16 catches for 236 yards and three touchdowns this year. Head coach Kirby Smart commended the tight end group, saying, "They haven’t had the year they wanted, but they came up big when it mattered."
As for UMass, the team faces a monumental challenge against the No. 10 Bulldogs. This marks their third game this season against an SEC opponent. Despite being heavy underdogs, UMass ranks 11th nationally in time of possession, averaging 32:43 per game. Their ability to control the clock could be a factor, albeit one unlikely to disrupt Georgia’s commanding playstyle.
The Bulldogs, currently holding an 8-2 record, have already shown resilience and adaptability throughout the season. Today’s game will test their depth, particularly in lighter matchups like this, as they prepare for future high-stakes contests. The Minutemen, meanwhile, will aim to gain valuable experience and leave their mark against a powerhouse team.
Kickoff is set for 12:45 p.m. at Sanford Stadium, with national coverage on SEC Network. It’s a moment for Georgia to showcase its prowess and for UMass to rise to the challenge against a formidable SEC force.
