On Saturday night the Georgia Bulldogs (1-1, 1-0) travel to Fayettville to take on Arkansas (1-0, 0-0), a team that lit up the scoreboard in their only appearance of the year.
Saturday night's game will be the SEC opener for the Hogs, who opened up the year with a 48-10 win over Missouri State. In the week one win Bobby Petrino's squad showed off its aerial attack, throwing for a school-record 447 yards.
"They'd rather let the passing game open up the running game which a lot of people do it the other way around," Bulldog head coach Mark Richt said. "But Coach Petrino has been extremely successful at his way."
Arkansas proved themselves to be a threat on the ground, picking up 144 yards and two scores.
"They love to get into that three-receiver, one tight end, one back set, throw the ball a lot then slip that back on screens and draws," Richt said.
The pressure will be on the Georgia defense to tighten up, allowing an SEC-worst 30.5 points per game.
Richt's crew is coming off a win in their SEC debut against South Carolina. Kickoff on Saturday night is set for 7:45 p.m., and can be seen on ESPN.
