ATHENS, Ga. -- For about two minutes, Kirby Smarts first home game as Georgias coach couldnt have gone better.It was great at the beginning of the game, Smart, the former Georgia safety and assistant coach, said of his first game at Sanford Stadium as coach. It was great the first drive.After that, it was one big, ugly scare for Smart and his No. 9 Bulldogs.Georgia scored two quick-strike touchdowns -- one on offense, one on defense -- in a span of about two minutes after Nicholls took a third-quarter lead, and the Bulldogs escaped with an uninspiring 26-24 win over the Colonels on Saturday.This was designed to be the start of the Jacob Eason era in his first start at quarterback. The freshman completed his first two passes for 48 yards on the opening drive. Nick Chubb, coming off a huge game in last weeks impressive win over North Carolina, capped the drive with a 6-yard scoring run.Georgia (2-0) appeared headed for the easy win over the FCS Colonels that was widely expected. The ease with which Georgia scored possibly convinced Smarts players they could relax.That was the opening Nicholls, a FCS team from the Southland Conference, would need. The Colonels (0-1) played an inspired game on defense and generated just enough offense behind freshman quarterback Chase Fourcade to lead midway through the third quarter.The visitors outscored the Bulldogs 10-0 in the final quarter.Overall this was a good first game for us to take into next week, Fourcade said.Smart called the sloppy win disappointing.We had a lot of guys today who didnt play the way they are capable, and Ive got to figure out why that is, Smart said.Nicholls led 14-13 midway through the third after Fourcade, a surprise starter, threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jarrell Rogers.Eason threw a 66-yard scoring pass to Isaiah McKenzie less than a minute later. The Bulldogs rally continued on Lorenzo Carters 24-yard fumble return for a score.A fumbled punt return by McKenzie inside the Georgia 10 set up a late Nicholls touchdown on Fourcades 6-yard pass to C.J. Bates, cutting the Bulldogs lead to 2 points.Georgia relied on Chubb to run out the clock.If we get a stop, who knows what couldve happened? asked Nicholls coach Tim Rebowe. Im proud of our guys. ... We found out some things today about our team.Chubb had only 17 yards rushing in the first half and lost a fumble that set up Dontrell Taylors 4-yard touchdown run late in the half.POLL IMPLICATIONSGeorgia could be headed for a sharp fall in the Top 25. Its possible the Bulldogs received too much credit from voters when they jumped nine spots from No. 18 following the win over North Carolina. Georgias offensive line couldnt dominate Nicholls defensive front, so voters have reason to wonder how the unit will fare against Southeastern Conference defenses.KEY NUMBERSNICHOLLS: Fourcade completed 9 of 19 passes for 99 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Converted defensive back C.J. Okpalobi had 55 yards rushing on 21 carries.GEORGIA: Eason completed 11 of 20 passes for 204 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Chubb ran for 80 yards. Sony Michel, making his season debut, had two catches for five yards and three yards rushing on three carries. Freshman Brian Herrien had 47 yards rushing.THE TAKEAWAYNicholls: The Colonels hardly appeared awed by the step up in competition. They showed impressive push on their defensive front, hitting Chubb and McKenzie for losses. It was an encouraging start by Fourcade and the defense, though questions remain about the running game.Georgia: Being held to 373 yards by a FCS team was a sobering reality check. There is reason to be alarmed about an offense which failed to score off three first-half opportunities: two interceptions and a drive that started at the Nicholls 37 following a short punt. Smart said Georgia lacks a massive offensive line that can push opponents around, and that could be a warning for SEC struggles to come. The Bulldogs must get more out their passing game with Eason to take pressure off Chubb and the line.UP NEXTNicholls: The Colonels will play their home opener against Southland Conference rival Incarnate Word.Georgia: The Bulldogs begin a string of eight straight Southeastern Conference games when they visit Missouri.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Swell Water Bottle Australia . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Vanderbilts home opener against the No. 1 Florida State Seminoles was all about opportunity. It was a chance to learn and compete against one of the most consistent programs in the country, as well as a time to experiment.Most of all, Thursdays game was an opportunity for the squads 12 new comers to see and understand the direction second year head coach Darren Ambrose and his staff plan on taking the team.You have to have a very defined way of playing when youre going against a team like Florida State, said Ambrose. We all were confident in what we were doing going into the game. The sad part is that we had a 15-minute meltdown. We gave them one goal and we panicked. Its such a shame because the mistakes we made were things we talked about. Im disappointed to lose 3-0, but the good news is that some of the things that happened are things that we can clean up. I think the freshmen did well, and I think we showed a little bit of character in the second half.While the Dores were defeated by FSU 3-0, the team played with more patience and vision then its previous two outings. With the vocal support of goalkeeper Kaitlyn Farhner and the Vandy backline, the teams offence connected concrete passes and to hold possession and generate attacks.Vanderbilt only trailed 1-0 with 15 minutes left in the first half. The Commodores had chances of their own, as Jackie Welch enjoyed another fantastic outing for the Dores. The Winnetka, Ill. native got off a shot to put her squad on the board, but the Florida State line came through, blocking the shot.Jackie is a natural athlete, she understands competitive sport. She understands the tempo of tthe game, what it takes and how to use your body.dddddddddddd. Shes got spirit and fight. I give her credit; shes come a long way in such a short time. But at this level we have to find a way to get the ball in the back of the goal. I cant fault her for her effort or how shes playing right now.Spreading the offensive attack throughout the pitch, as well as the Nole roster, three separate student-athletes aided in what would be the squads 3-0 victory within the first half. The Commodores generated three corners and two shots in the second half, but could not produce the necessary final touch to finish.Kaitlyn Farhner had another stellar outing for the Commodores; generating save after save and forcing most of FSUs six corner kicks in the second half. In all, the transfer from Oklahoma had six saves in her third outing for the black and gold. The redshirt-junior heads into Sundays 1:00 pm CT matchup against Jackson State with 22 saves on the year; her most (10) coming against Miami of Ohio.Jackson State is a well-coached team. They lost to MTSU 6-0, but had chances to score goals. Were going to look to play possessive, which we did at times today. Hopefully we can generate a few more chances in the 18-yard box... Im looking for us to put a few more shots on frame and a few more in the back of the net.Commodore fans should come hungry to the 1:00 JSU game, as Vanderbrunch will be served!
