The fourth-ranked Georgia football team had to work to put away the Governors

After a weather delay that turned halftime Saturday afternoon at Sanford Stadium into a two-hour break, the fourth-ranked Georgia football team had to work to put away Austin Peay in the Bulldogs’ final game before the start of SEC play.

Running backs Chauncey Bowens and Nate Frazier rushed for a pair of touchdowns each to help lift Georgia to a 28-6 win over the Governors, an FCS program from the Atlantic Sun Conference.
