No. 2 Georgia rolls over Arkansas 45-17 in Southeastern Conference opener

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- , Chauncey Bowens ran for three touchdowns and No. 2 Georgia held Arkansas to just 17 yards on the ground in a 45-17 win Saturday. Georgia (3-0, 1-0 SEC) led 21-3 at halftime and never truly needed to pass the football. Quarterback Gunner Stockton finished the game 10-of-13 passing for 147 yards with a touchdown. He added a team-high 97 yards on the ground, including a 62-yard run on third down that set up Georgia’s third touchdown, Bowens’ second. Georgia coach Kirby Smart, whose team won its first two games by a combined score of 133-23, cautioned that the win over Arkansas wasn't like those, even with the lopsided score. "I don’t know that I would call it a blowout," Smart said. “Y’all might say that, but I don’t look at SEC games that way. I don’t look at the scoreboard. I look at how we play.” They played well, especially on defense.
