We’re officially single-digit weeks away from Georgia Football with the Bulldogs kicking the 2022 season off against Oregon 68 days from now in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Next on our countdown to kickoff, a look back at a few of our favorite touchdowns from 2021, of which Georgia scored 68 on offense.

Clemson

Of course, there wasn’t an offensive touchdown in Georgia’s season-opening win over Clemson. But we know, Bulldog fans will never get tired of seeing Christopher Smith’s pick-six against the Tigers…

UAB

World, meet Brock Bowers. Seeing a tight end run this fast and take off to the end zone was an eye opening moment for plenty of Georgia fans. The youngster out of Napa, Calif. earned SEC Player of the Week honors for his effort against the Blazers, one that included this touchdown…

South Carolina

In seven career starts for Georgia, JT Daniels threw for 300 yards three times. He also threw for three or more touchdowns three times. This night against South Carolina, he did both in his return from injury…

Vanderbilt

Georgia jumped on Vanderbilt early in this one, and Ladd McConkey was a big part of that, scoring twice in a 35-0 first quarter. Here, McConkey does his best Randy Moss going up and over the Commodore defender…

Arkansas

We wrote about Georgia-Arkansas last week during the Countdown to Kickoff series, noting that Stetson Bennett threw for only 73 yards. Furthermore, the most memorable touchdown of the day came on special teams. Here’s an incredible display of athleticism from Zamir White though to stay on his feet and get into the end zone on this run…

Auburn

Ladd McConkey earned SEC Freshman of the Week for his performance against Auburn, one that included this long touchdown. Great throw, but the best part of the play might be the slam dunk celebration from McConkey and wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton…

Kentucky

To earn a, “My god a freshman” from Georgia Football, you know talking about somebody who’s pretty special and that’s done something pretty special. Brock Bowers accomplished both with this wheel route and his ability to come down with the ball…

Florida

Georgia’s offense didn’t have its best day against Florida. It got the help of the defense though, forcing three turnovers and giving the Bulldogs field position it could capitalize on. Stetson Bennett and Kearis Jackson did just that here, the second of three touchdowns in a two minute, 15 second span…

Missouri

Georgia’s gutsy call to go for it on 4th and 6 trailing 3-0 in field goal position paid off with an absolutely beautiful ball from Stetson Bennett to the speedy Arian Smith…

Tennessee

I remember watching this one live and immediately predicting that the ball was going to Cook who motioned out wide. I’ll give myself a pat on the back because I was right…

Charleston Southern

Big man touchdowns will always have a special place in the heart of this former offensive lineman. Jordan Davis will always have a special place in the heart of Georgia fans. Those two meet here as Davis not so gracefully found his way into the end zone on Senior Day…

Georgia Tech

You might notice a theme here. There are quite a few Brock Bowers plays. After all, he did have 14 touchdowns on the year. And we mentioned earlier how eye opening it was to see a tight end out-running the entirety of a defense. Look no further as Bowers did it again, this time against a Power Five opponent…

Alabama

Georgia fans might rather forget the 2021 SEC Championship Game showing against Alabama. But for the sake of continuity in this story, here’s Ladd McConkey’s impressive score as he outran Crimson Tide defenders after catching the screen pass from Stetson Bennett…

Michigan

After a poor showing the in the SEC Championship Game, Georgia came out playing with an edge against Michigan. The Bulldogs scored three touchdowns in their first five drives. My favorite? Kenny McIntosh to Adonai Mitchell, but here they all are so you can decide…

Alabama

This one needs no introduction…
