Georgia backup tight end Ethan Barbour was carted off the field with a lower left leg injury at the end of the first half.
Then, the game was delayed 1 hour and 46 minutes after halftime due to lightning.
What they're saying:
FOX 5 Sports' D.J. Shockley said it was one of the most unusual games he's ever seen.
"The first half left much to desire. It led a lot of people to wonder 'what's going on with this offense,' but they came out in the second half and played a lot better," Shockley said. The defense, I thought, played really well. They held them to three of 13 on third downs. {Austin Peay} had less than 200 yards."
What's next:
Georgia opens its SEC schedule at Tennessee next Saturday.
"Looking forward to seeing what the Dawgs look like on the road next week. And Gunner's first road appearance in the SEC," Shockley said.
