ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter came back for his senior season to help deliver a championship.
Now it’s a matter of how many championships he can help the Bulldogs attain.
Georgia won its first Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title since 2012 by going 7-1 in league play, claiming the East by two games over South Carolina. Next up for the No. 7 Bulldogs is Saturday’s “state championship” at Georgia Tech, and then it’s on to next week’s SEC title game against the winner of Saturday’s Alabama-Auburn showdown.
“We don’t want to stop, because it seems like every game this season has been important,” Carter said. “We’ve been trying to make sure we don’t take things too far ahead, and I think that’s what has gotten us to this point.”
