Senior quarterback Joe Cox threw for 375 yards and a school-record five touchdowns to propel Georgia to a 52-41 win over Arkansas in Fayetteville. The Dawgs are now 2-1 overall and 2-0 in the SEC.
Cox tied a UGA record with the five touchdowns he threw. A.J. Green caught two of the touchdown passes, while Tavarres King, Orson Charles and Aron White all caught one for the Bulldogs.
Richard Samuel rushed 16 times for 117 yards and a touchdown. Caleb King, playing in his first game this season, rushed 11 times for 60 yards.
With the win, Georgia is now 4-0 against Arkansas in Fayetteville and 9-3 overall.
The Georgia defense was the only letdown of the night. Willie Martinez’s crew gave up 485 yards (408 yards passing, 77 yards rushing) and 21 points in the first quarter.
Next up for the Bulldogs is a non-conference home game against the Arizona State Sun Devils on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. ET (ESPNU).

We should have fired Willie Martinez after last year but we didn't so now were in a mess once again. I hate to have to talk about that when the offense played such a good game but it was once again pitiful. I would like to see what our corners and safteys and corners are supposed to be doing on these plays. Our pass coverage is just still awful. We should have gotten rid of him while we could. Guys, the way or defense looks it may be long year.
