ATHENS — The preseason favorite in the SEC East looked the part, dismantling Louisiana-Monroe 51-14 in less than four quarters of play – the game was called due to inclement weather in the fourth quarter. The weather wasn’t the lasting image from Athens, no the story of the game was transfer quarterback Greyson Lambert.
In his first game as a Bulldog, Lambert effectively managed the offense well and even contributed two touchdowns along with 141 passing yards. If Lambert continues to effectively run the Georgia offense and can occasionally threaten teams with the downfield throw, the Bulldogs may prove too difficult to beat in the East.
“He’s been very, very sharp,” coach Mark Richt said in his post game press conference. “He’s learned this offense extremely fast. He’s making good decisions. He’s getting us in the right plays, right protections and guys respect him.”
Playing well at home is one thing, but can Lambert play well on the road? We’ll find out right away as the Bulldogs travel to Nashville to take on a rested Vanderbilt defense that suffocated a high-powered Western Kentucky offense in their Thursday opener.
