Georgia football winners and losers following uninspiring win over Kent State

Winner: The Georgia tight ends

By this point, Brock Bowers could make just a weekly home in this spot. He finished with 127 total yards of offense and two more touchdowns. He’s pretty clearly one of the best players in the country.

But Darnell Washington also deserves special mention here. He didn’t have the same level of statistical production as Bowers, catching two passes for 39 yards on the afternoon.

To hear Kirby Smart tell it though, a lot of Bowers’ magic wouldn’t have been possible were it not for the play of the other big-time tight end.

“The first play of the game, he’s wide open, the play was to go to him,” Smart said. “Stetson, he took a shot, being aggressive and Darnell was there the next play, Brock gets a touchdown and Darnell is down there celebrating. He’s the first one in the end zone celebrating. It was his block that sprung him. Again, Darnell’s blocking combined with what Brock does on the perimeter … the package of those two – compliments each other so well.”
