Morning! Here’s today’s Rise and Grind

The Bulldogs are focused on what’s ahead, but they know their recent history with Ole Miss. January’s Sugar Bowl defeat. The 2024 loss in Oxford.

Consider those setbacks as a chip on the shoulder for several Dawgs

"It's the down-in, down-out decision-making that he's really elite at, the accuracy that he's elite at. The release, the decision. He's just pinpoint."

Georgia RT Juan Gaston on the unusual formation Saturday where Bo Walker scored: "We repped it quite a few times. It was exciting that it happened and we got the touchdown"

Elijah Griffin on DT Jordan Hall's pre-game speech before the Florida game: "For J-Hall, he's from the state of Florida. It was big for him. ... Just to see him lay it all out before the game, it meant a lot more to see him cry. ... Made me want to just play for him"

Georgia DT Elijah Griffin on how much trash talking is going on in the trenches with him: "For me, I let my play do the talking, to be honest"

Elijah Griffin on DT Jordan Hall: "He always been that leader, had that leadership role. ... He's like that with the whole team, you know? And that's just his personality"

An update on Philip Rivers and the NC State head coaching opening:

The two sides are expected to have further communication in the near future and there’s continued momentum at the moment toward Rivers ultimately being the hire, sources tell @CBSSports.

Nothing final at this point though.

There’s a growing belief that the SEC may soon adopt something similar to the Big Ten’s new rule that would include a salary cap and also financial penalties if teams go over the salary cap number, sources tell @CBSSports

Winners and losers from Monday’s slate.

- This UCLA team is a Mick Cronin team
- Iowa State isn’t Iowa State yet
- BYU’s offense is a turbo smash, as predicted
- Illinois’ offense is also a turbo smash

Hopping on with Rob to talk about the Dawgs. Come join us!

Morning! Here's today's Rise and Grind:

Georgia RB Nate Frazier and S KJ Bolden have been battling injury the past few weeks. Both took the field on Saturday against Florida, and both demonstrated why they're so important to the Dawgs

"I thought we played pretty bad. ... But it's better to learn those lessons through a win. So I'm grateful we got the win, but we've got a lot to improve on."

Georgia has plenty to clean up after season opener against North Carolina Central

247sports.com/college/georgi…

FINAL: Georgia defeats North Carolina Central 78-62.

Lackluster second half offensively for Georgia , but the Bulldogs got enough stops on the other end to ensure they were never in danger. Kanon Catchings led the way offensively.

Instant takeaways:

HALFTIME: Georgia leads North Carolina Central 41-28.

Good opening 20 minutes from Georgia. Kanon Catchings set the pace with 11 pts., and the Dawgs had a 15-2 scoring run late in the half. Ideal UGA debuts so far for Brady Dunlap and Andrew Osasuyi

No Kareem Stagg tonight. He is out with what a UGA spokesman said was a slight hip injury. Freddie Dilione V takes his place in the starting lineup.

Full lineup:

Smurf Millender
Freddie Dilione V
Blue Cain
Kanon Catchings
James Scott
