The Georgia Bulldogs are coming off two less-than-impressive performances, beating Kent State and Missouri. <\/p>\n

The Bulldogs dropped from the No. 1 spot in the AP Poll this week, falling behind Alabama. Yet despite the recent struggles, there is still a lot of external belief in the Bulldogs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Georgia is a 30-point favorite against visiting Auburn this week. It’s the largest Georgia has been favored against a Power-5 team this season and one of the largest spreads in the history of the Deep South’s Oldest rivalry. <\/p>\n

ESPN’s Bill Connelly does warn though that if the Bulldogs don’t start playing better as the competition improves, they could be tripped up. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that the Dawgs were able to dominate so thoroughly when they needed to suggest this is more of an attention span issue than anything else,\u201d Connelly wrote. \u201cBut Missouri ranks 51st in SP+, Kent State 107th. Five of Georgia’s seven remaining regular-season opponents rank 43rd or better, and three are in the top 15. If the Dawgs keep having to rouse themselves into action, it’s going to backfire at some point.\u201d <\/p>\n

While the team has struggled in the red zone, and gave up a few too many big plays against Missouri, the individual outlook for this team is still quite high. Freshman defensive back Malachi Starks was named the No. 1 ranked freshman in the country. He’s grabbed two interceptions and is second on the team in tackles. <\/p>\n

That Starks is doing this as a freshman on the No. 2 in the country makes his recent play all the more impressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe plays like a veteran on a defense that lost five players in the first round of last year’s NFL draft,\u201d wrote Tom VanHaaren. \u201cHe’s mature, and the game is not too big for him. At times he flashes his dominance. Starks has proven he can play any position in the secondary.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
