Georgia Bulldogs UGA logoATHENS, Ga. – Georgia’s first two touchdowns in Saturday’s 55-9 crushing of Charleston Southern were recorded by receiver Chris Conley and tailback Nick Chubb, two prominent components of this year’s offense.
The third was tallied by Justin Scott-Wesley, who made his first catch since tearing his ACL in last year’s win at Tennessee.
“It felt good to be able to come in there and contribute to the team,” said Scott-Wesley, whose 19-yard scoring reception at the 5:18 mark of the first quarter made it 21-0. “It’s been a long process. There have been a lot of highs and lows, and I’ve just tried to stay somewhere in the middle.”
The 5-foot-11, 206-pound redshirt junior from Camilla, Ga., also had a 14-yard reception, so he’s got two catches for 33 yards on his still-young season. Scott-Wesley missed the first five games and had played in three games before Saturday.
“You’ve got to be ready, and you can’t make excuses,” he said. “At the end of the day, people just come to see you play ball. They don’t care about how you feel. They just want results.”
