Georgia’s Greyson Lambert motivated by crowd, criticism Sanders continues interception surge Lambert sensational in Georgia romp past Gamecocks Georgia tight ends aid Lambert’s big evening Brilliant Lambert leads Georgia to rout, 52-20
ATHENS, Ga. – A couple of Southeastern Conference football programs switched quarterbacks this week, but Georgia wasn’t one of them.
While Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier opted to go in new directions, Greyson Lambert is looking to build off last week’s 24-of-25 passing performance that produced 330 yards and three touchdowns in a 52-20 win over Spurrier’s Gamecocks. Lambert’s accuracy clip of 96.0 percent set an NCAA single-game standard for quarterbacks with a minimum of 20 attempts.
“Everything came together that game in all phases of the offense and what we can control – guys blocking and receivers running routes and making great catches,” the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Lambert said this week. “A lot had to happen, so it was definitely a team stat in the end.”
Life hasn’t changed significantly since Saturday’s near-perfect night for Lambert, a graduate student who transferred this summer after losing the starting job to Matt Johns at Atlantic Coast Conference program Virginia. Lambert said he went straight to bed after getting home from the game and went to church Sunday with his family.
