Athens, Ga – Georgia is back in Athens for week two matchup with Austin Peay on Saturday. Georgia earned a 45-7 win over Marshall last week.

The Bulldogs enter the game with a 32-game winning streak at home. The Bulldogs are ready for a new set of challenges with Austin Peay. The Governors enter the game 1-0 after defeating Middle Tennessee 34-14 in week one.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart gave credit to Austin Peay’s defense leading into this week’s matchup.

“I’m excited to get ready for Austin Peay, another home game, another home opportunity for our team,” Smart told reporters on Tuesday. “A lot of respect for this team. They played a good Middle Tennessee team and jumped on them and played really well, done a great job with their program. Been through some injuries last year that probably hurt them, but they’ve got a good group coming in to play us. Our guys had a really good practice yesterday. I thought we had good energy, enthusiasm. Made some corrections, and then worked on us and worked a little bit on Austin Peay as well. So, looking forward to this week.”
