Dawgs Beat Arkansas 52-41 in Shootout

Georgia ended up coming out on top of last night's 52-41 shootout in Fayetteville. The game featured 93 combined points and 1,015 combined offensive yards.

Quarterback Joe Cox led the Bulldogs to their win. He threw for 375 yards and five touchdowns to give Georgia their second win of the season. The five touchdowns in one game tied a school record previously held by Matthew Stafford and three other UGA quarterbacks.

A.J. Green caught two of the touchdown passes. The others went to Tavarres King, Orson Charles, and Aron White.

Richard Samuel scored a touchdown on a long run down the middle of the field to score another Georgia touchdown. Caleb King, who played in his first game of the season, rushed 11 times for 60 yards.

However, Georgia's defense performed very poorly in Fayetteville. They gave up 408 passing yards and 77 rushing yards throughout the game, while giving up 21 points in the first quarter alone.
