REPLAY: Vanderbilt's first three touchdowns against Georgia since 2018 don't surpass SEC powerhouse

Vanderbilt football has had so little success against Georgia in recent years that even scoring a touchdown would be an improvement.

Two field goals in 2019 are all the Commodores (2-5, 0-3 SEC) have had to show for the past three matchups against the No. 1 Bulldogs (6-0, 3-0).

With Ken Seals starting at quarterback for the third straight game and shorthanded in the secondary, Vanderbilt will welcome the two-time defending national champions to town for the second-to-last home game of the season at FirstBank Stadium.

Georgia is coming off a 51-13 thrashing of Kentucky; the Commodores lost at Florida, 38-14.
