ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia's offense has been a hot topic for the past couple of weeks and for good reason. After averaging nearly 48 points in their first five games of the year, the Bulldogs have managed to put up just 38 the past two weeks against South Carolina and Kentucky.

Those two programs aren't considered among the SEC's best by any stretch and the struggles have had UGA fans buzzing on message boards and social media.

Kirby Smart has explicitly stated that he's confident in the Bulldogs' offensive structure and that his team just has to continue to get better. His players seem to have the same opinion.

"I would say there's no reason to worry because, if you look at the South Carolina game, we had almost 500 yards of offense," Graduate tight end Eli Wolf said of the offense. "It was just one thing led to another, we turned the ball over and the turnover margins is one of the biggest stats for winning and losing games. Kentucky, it was a monsoon, it was raining, it's hard to throw the ball in those conditions. We made the run game work and we came away with a win, so I don't know what more you can ask for from an offense than winning SEC games. We hold our standards to a high standard and we're never pleased, but I'm not concerned. I like where we're at and I think we're going to keep getting better.

Wolf has a point. The South Carolina game was about as bad as it could have been for the Bulldogs in the turnover department. Jake Fromm tossed the first interception for a touchdown in his career and it was the first of three in that game. They came in different ways.

On the pick-six, Fromm was pressured quickly and got caught between trying to throw the ball away and giving freshman wide receiver George Pickens a chance to catch the ball. Israel Mukuamu, who was on the receiving end of all three interceptions, snatched it out of the air and returned it 53 yards for the score.

Fromm had another pass land in Mukuamu's hand on a ball intended for Matt Landers. It's unclear whether Landers ran the wrong route or he was just roughed up at the stem of the route and lost his balanced, but it stalled a promising drive. Fromm also fumbled an under-center snap exchange with Trey Hill and had a well-thrown ball that would have gone for first-down yardage go through Tyler Simmons's hands in overtime and Mukuamu grabbed his third pick of the day.

If any one of those plays were executed, there's a good chance we're talking about a close UGA win instead of a defeat that has seemingly crushed the confidence of the Bulldog fanbase.

Then there's the Kentucky game where Fromm attempted just 12 passes, completing nine of them for only 38 yards. It rained all day in the Classic City that day and throughout the game and that was a big reason why UGA put it in the air just once in the second half.

Still, you don't have to be looking for something to be concerned about to feel that way about the Bulldog offense, especially with a 7-1 Florida team awaiting on November 2.

But Georgia players just don't seem to be that bothered by it. They took their medicine and learned from the South Carolina loss and now it's full speed ahead.

"I feel like it was just one game," senior running back Brian Herrien said. "We've got to execute, of course. When the plays are called, we've got to go out there and execute the best we can. I feel like watching that game, sometimes we didn't execute, sometimes we weren't focused enough or sometimes we were complacent about who we were or what we were doing. We've just got to get better and keep going forward. We just can't think because who we are we can just go out there and win the game."
