The reigning national champion Georgia Bulldogs open their title defense on Saturday with a challenging nonconference battle against the Oregon Ducks.
Georgia, ranked No. 3 in the nation in the season-opening USA TODAY Sports AFCA coaches poll, returns quarterback Stetson Bennett but lost several members of last season’s dominating defense to the NFL draft. One of those losses was defensive coordinator Dan Lanning — who just happens to be the new head coach of the 12th-ranked Ducks.
Oregon will counter with former Auburn quarterback Bo Nix, a terrific front seven and what may be the best overall defense in the Pac-12.
