Georgia vs. Ball State: Live updates, score, highlights

ATHENS, Ga. — It’s that time again. Georgia Football is in action, and you don’t have to wait too long on this particular Saturday to see the Bulldogs take the field, drawing an early kick against Ball State.

Kirby Smart’s squad won their opener last weekend over UT-Martin 48-7, overcoming a little bit of a slow start on offense with an outstanding defensive performance and a much stronger second half. In his first career start, Carson Beck finished 21-of-31 for 294 yards and a touchdown to Mekhi Mews, also punching one into the end zone by himself with a rushing score.

Other touchdowns came by way of Brock Bowers, Roderick Robinson and Brock Vandagriff to Oscar Delp, plus a fourth quarter pick-six from Kyron Jones.

Meanwhile, on the other sideline, Ball State is coming off of a loss. The Cardinals went on the road to Kentucky and held a lead after the first quarter. The Wildcats were too much to handle though, eventually pulling away to hand Mike Neu’s team a 44-14 loss last Saturday.

Kirby Smart said…

“Onto Ball State for us. I think they’ve got a really good football team. I don’t know coach Mike Neu well, but going to get to meet him. Got a lot of respect for their conference. We played Kent State out of this conference last year, and the MAC has done an incredible job of creating a good football environment and some really good football teams. So we have to put last game to bed this morning, which we don’t usually get to do on Monday. With no school we were able to jump ahead. This afternoon we’ll jump straight into Ball State and get these guys going and get prepared for them.”
