The Georgia Bulldogs are 7-1 and are the only FBS team to not allow a rushing touchdown through the first eight games of the season. Over the last 20 years, no other FBS team had played eight games without giving up a rushing touchdown.
After defeating the Florida Gators 24-17, the Bulldogs are now in control of their own destiny and have set themselves up to win the SEC East for a third-straight year, behind a relentless defense. They have a +185 run differential, outscoring their opponents 276-91 through eight games, holding opponents to a stifling 11.4 points per game.
