Things to Know: Georgia vs. UT-Martin

Welcome to “Things to Know” where you can pick up on the most important things to know entering into Georgia’s football games.

ATHENS — Georgia football has never been hotter, coming off back-to-back national championships and on the verge of winning a school-record 18th-straight game.

The Bulldogs play host to UT-Martin at 6 p.m. tonight on Sanford Stadium in a game that will be streamed on SEC Network-Plus.

Here are 4 must-know things about tonight’s game

1. More than one QB expected to play

Carson Beck will make his first career start, but Kirby Smart said Brock Vandagriff and Gunner Stockton would be getting first-team reps in practice, an indicator he’ll give one or both game reps when the opportunity presents itself.

2. Winning streaks and records galore

Georgia will win its 18th straight overall, breaking a record set from 1945-47, and the Bulldogs will tie another mark set by Vince Dooley’s program from 1981-83 with their 28th consecutive regular season victory. UGA will win its 19th straight home game and is chasing the mark of 24 straight home wins set in the Herschel Walker era of 1980-1983.

3. Mike Bobo in the booth

Former Georgia quarterback and Mark Richt offensive coordinator Mike Bobo will be calling plays for the Bulldogs for the first time since 2014, when he directed the program’s highest-scoring offense (41.3 points per game). Bobo has held coaching stints at Colorado State, South Carolina and Auburn since then, serving last season as an analyst in the UGA program.

4. Uga XI “Boom” debuts, Sonny Seiler remembered

Georgia’s new mascot “Boom” will patrol the sideline for the Bulldogs in regular-season action after making his first appearance at UGA’s G-Day Game in April. This will be the 11th solid white English Bulldog to serve in this capacity.

Sonny Seiler, a UGA graduate whose family is known for owning and maintaining the line of live mascots, passed away earlier this week at the age of 90.
