BULLDOGS GAME IN BITS & PIECES

- David Paschall Georgia beat writer

SATURDAY’S STAR

Georgia sophomore quarterbac­k Jake Fromm continued his impressive accuracy, completing 17 of 23 passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns. Fromm entered the game ranked sixth nationally in passing efficiency (186.1) and produced a rating of 217.8 against the Commodores.

SATURDAY’S STAT

Redshirt junior kicker Rodrigo Blankenshi­p set a Georgia record by making his 120th straight extra point following a 35-yard touchdown pass from Fromm to D’Andre Swift at the 11:45 mark of the third quarter. Blankenshi­p, who broke Blair Walsh’s 2008-10 record of 119, never has missed a college PAT.

TURNING POINT

With 2:18 remaining in the first half, Vanderbilt used a second Ryley Guay field goal to pull within 14-6 and was outgaining the Bulldogs. They left Fromm with way too much time: He went 5-of-6 on the ensuing possession and connected with Riley Ridley for a 10-yard score with 1:14 remaining.

HIGHLIGHT PLAY

Georgia needed just 15 seconds to erase its first deficit of the year, getting a 75-yard touchdown pass from Fromm to Terry Godwin to take a 7-3 lead at the 10:15 mark of the first quarter. Godwin shook off tackle attempts by Joejuan Williams and Donovan Sheffield inside the Vanderbilt 10-yard line.

WHAT IT MEANS

The No. 2 Bulldogs improved to 6-0 and attained bowl eligibilit­y for the 22nd consecutiv­e season, the longest such streak in the Southeaste­rn Conference. It will not, however, be a top-five showdown this week in Baton Rouge, however, after No. 5 LSU fell Saturday at No. 22 Florida 27-19 to drop to 5-1.
