Here’s a terrifying thought for you: one day in the distant future college football fans may forget just how amazing Brock Bowers was during his Georgia Bulldogs career.

I know, it’s difficult to imagine. Bowers played three seasons of college football and was named All-SEC and All-American in each of them. He won the Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end two years running. Over 50 catches every season, 2538 receiving yards, and 26 receiving touchdowns. Every honor and number is truly impressive.

But a picture is worth a thousand words. Just ask the South Carolina Gamecocks.

In 2022 Bowers could have beaten Shane Beamer’s squad all by himself, scoring three touchdowns, one on the ground and two through the air, including a 78 yarder in which he made the Gamecock defense look like it was stuck in concrete.

Unfortunately for the Garnet and Black Bowers had teammates, on both sides of the ball. The Gamecocks ran only 34 plays on offense in a first half that saw them shut out while the Bulldogs cruised out to a 24-0 halftime lead. Somehow it got even worse in the second half, with Georgia veritably tap dancing to a three more touchdowns in the third quarter to take a 45-0 lead into the fourth quarter. The Dawgs would tack on one more field goal before the ‘Cocks got on the board late to avoid a shutout, losing “only” 48-7.

Bowers led all Bulldog receivers with 121 yards on 5 catches, to go with his rushing touchdowns. It was a bravura performance from one of the greatest to ever play his position, and one of the greatest to ever play in Athens.

Go ‘Dawgs!!!
