Georgia vs. Vandy: A second look at the Standout Performers from Week 1

Saturday's game against the Commodores may not have looked so bad on the scoreboard at the end of the night, and sure, the Bulldogs may have left a little meat on the bone. But don't be mistaken, Georgia dominated this matchup from the opening kick.

After a second look at Saturday's game, we break down the standout performers from week 1. Starting with the hogs up front, one in particular.

Standout Performers:

Cade Mays: After a camp long battle between fellow 5-stars Cade Mays and Ben Cleveland, Mays received the start Saturday against Vanderbilt and made an impact in the run game early and often.

We at The Bulldog Maven predicted Mays would get the nod over Cleveland back in camp, and it was especially enlightening to see him get snaps at 4 of the 5 o-line positions, playing them all but center. (That's right, he even gave Andrew Thomas a breather at left tackle)

Azeez Ojulari: We certainly heard a lot about Ojulari this offseason, as the redshirt freshman from Marietta high school continued to leap up the depth chart. But he was 100% as advertised in his 2019 debut.

Ojulari made six tackles Saturday and added a half-sack. Seemingly always in the right place, Ojulari led the way for an outside linebacker crew that, though extremely talented, is relatively young.

Devonte Wyatt: Devonte Wyatt pitched a tent in the Commodore backfield for most of the night Saturday. Creating havoc from the interior of the defensive line. Obviously big Jordan Davis gets the majority of the attention upfront for UGA, as he should. But if Devonte Wyatt is going to be wreaking havoc as well, SEC offenses are going to be in big trouble.

James Cook III: James Coley has a difficult task this season due to the embarrassment of riches at the running back position. With Heisman hopeful D'Andre Swift, senior Brian Herrien, and redshirt freshman fan-favorite Zamir White all needing their fair share of touches.

But, it was clear Saturday night that Coley has found a role for the explosive James Cook, and it's out on the edge via jet sweeps and swing passes. (A pedestal in the James Coley offenses in the past.)

Jake Fromm: Coach Smart talks so often about how Jake Fromm never allows the defense to catch him in the wrong play. Well, Saturday night UGA's offense didn't have a negative play until 3:00 left in the 3rd quarter when Brian Herrien was tackled in the backfield for a loss.

Now, we can talk about 17 of 23 for 156 yards, which is all fine and dandy. But the efficiency that this offense operated with Saturday is directly tied to their signal-caller in Fromm.
