FIVE THINGS TO WATCH VS GEORGIA

NUMBER 1 – HEISMAN WATCH

This will be number one on my list of things to watch until Drew Lock gives me a reason not to have it on here. Lock finally threw an interception this past weekend, but he still put up outrageous numbers, throwing for 375 yards and three touchdowns.

So far this year, Lock has thrown for 1,062 yards, 11 touchdowns, and just one interception. While he’s not the leader on some Heisman boards, if he shreds the Georgia defense, he’ll be in that conversation for sure.

The big knock on Drew Lock throughout his career has been that he can’t perform well against tougher opponents and Georgia definitely falls into that category. Lock did well against the Bulldogs last year, but completed just 15 of his 25 pass attempts while throwing for 253 yards, four touchdowns, and a pick.

Lock will obviously air it out a lot more this year, but let’s see if he can finally take down a top team in college football.
