Lambert nearly perfect as Georgia pounds South Carolina

And he may not have even had the best night of any Georgia running back.

Georgia opened the 2nd half with a 5-play 75-yard drive in 1:45 and go ahead 31-13 on the Gamecocks.

It was the most points Georgia has ever scored against a Spurrier-coached team. “We got to do more offensively than what we’ve been doing as far as doing something different”.

“He throws a nice pass as you can see, when he takes his steps and gets protection and throws it he can throw a attractive pass”, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said. South Carolina is 5-5 against Georgia the past 10 games, but holds a 4-1 record against the Bulldogs the past five games. Lambert, the transfer from Virginia, shook off a rough outing last week at Vanderbilt and picked the Gamecocks secondary apart, going 24-25 and passing for a career-high 330 yards, connecting for three touchdowns. “It means we have some good walk-ons here”, noted Spurrier Jr. “The kid played well”.

However, neither Spurrier nor Georgia boss Mark Richt believe what’s past is prologue. For some receivers to make a catch for him. “But we’ll forgive him”.

Despite little time remaining in the quarter, Shon Carson gave the Gamecocks a spark with a 51-yard kickoff return with 15 additional yards tacked on after the play on a face mask penalty by Georgia’s Reggie Davis. The team is coming off a loss to Kentucky that saw starting quarterback Connor Mitch go down with a shoulder injury.

Georgia allows an average of 250.5 passing yards and 14 points per contest. Both of our touchdowns were quarterback runs. He could be in line to move up after this dismal performance. “It’s not up to me”. Georgia will be testing Orth every way possible, looking to cause the inexperienced quarterback problems.

“You can never count them out”, Jenkins said, “because Spurrier is going to find a way to get them rolling on offense”. The doubts only increased when he struggled the previous week against Vanderbilt, completing only 11 of 21 passes.

Talk about silencing the critics.

The Gamecocks’ defense, which had looked good in the second half in the first two games, actually looked worse tonight after the halftime intermission as they conceded three third-quarter touchdowns – including two in less than thirty seconds to start the third quarter. The win came soon after the Scopes-Monkey trial, which focused on creation vs. evolution, in Tennessee when Maxwell said the South received loads of national and global attention and was labeled as ignorant, backward and fundamentalist. “But it definitely feels good to have a game like this”.

South Carolina has won four of the last five meetings, giving Spurrier a 16-6 career record against the Bulldogs.

Georgia, now 3-0 and 2-0 in SEC play, will welcome Southern University to Athens next week, before preparing for the big showdown with No. 2 Alabama on October . 3 at Sanford Stadium. Lambert can lose it to Ramsey, a more than capable standby. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs will attempt to extend their undefeated record, as sophomore running back Nick Chubb continues to make his case as an early season Heisman Trophy candidate.

Since the start of the offseason, the questions about Georgia’s quarterback position have loomed large, and after the first two games of the 2015 season, analysts and fans were convinced that the Bulldogs would be a one-dimensional team.
