Should Georgia Football Be on Ambush Alert at Arkansas? Kirby Smart Warns of "Hornet's Nest Games"

Georgia heads to Fayetteville for its first SEC game of the season against Arkansas, and coach Kirby Smart is warning about “hornet’s nest games” despite the heavy expectation of a blowout. Smart said road challenges are heightened when a team hasn’t been on the road much, and he pointed to Georgia’s need to handle loud, communication-heavy environments. The Bulldogs have recent history of close calls, including a 26-22 win at Missouri in 2022 and an overtime loss in 2019. Arkansas is 1-1 after a loss at Utah, and Georgia is a 24.5-point favorite per FanDuel.
