| Did You Know? Georgia junior QB David Greene has gone 139 pass attempts without an interception. This streak dates back to the fourth quarter of the 2002 Auburn game which Georgia ultimately won 24-21 for the SEC Eastern Division title. In fact, Greene is on pace to set the Bulldog record for Lowest Interception Percentage. He has 17 in 775 attempts which gives him a 2.19 percentage. Eric Zeier (1991-94) holds the record at 2.64 as he had 37 interceptions in 1,402 attempts. Zeier holds the consecutive attempts without an INT mark at 176. |
Georgia-LSU Storylines
- Georgia's Scoring Defense, ranked 1st in the SEC and 3rd nationally, has allowed just 17 points in the first 3 games (5.7 avg.). The 17 points are the fewest since 1998 when that squad surrendered just 15 through the first three. Meanwhile, LSU ranks 2nd in the SEC and 4th nationally in Scoring Offense at 47.7 points a game and 2nd in Scoring Defense at 9.0 points a game.
- Georgia has not lost on an opponent's home field in the Mark Richt era. The Bulldogs are 9-0 including wins at #6 Tennessee (2001), #21 Ga. Tech (2001), #22 Alabama (2002) and #24 Auburn (2002).
- Saturday's game will be only the 3rd time that both teams are ranked in the AP Top 25. The road team has won each time. In 1987, #7 LSU beat #16 Georgia 26-23 in Athens while in 1998, the #12 Bulldogs edged the #6 Tigers 28-27 in Baton Rouge.
- LSU's coaching staff features two former Bulldog captains in Will Muschamp (defensive coordinator) and Travis Jones (defensive line) while special teams coordinator/running backs coach Derek Dooley is the son of Georgia athletic director Vince Dooley. Jones and Dooley were graduate assistants on Jim Donnan's staff. Also, Dooley, a 1991 Virginia alum, earned a law degree from Georgia.
