    College football analyst David Pollack's love for the Georgia Bulldogs runs deep. His 36 career sacks with the Bulldogs are the most in Georgia history.

    However, his passion for his alma mater also comes with the ability to criticize them when he feels they aren't living up to the expectations in Athens. Following the Bulldogs' 13-12 win at Kentucky, he believes the team still has some work to do when it comes to finding their identity in the 2024 season.

    "I think Georgia's offense still needs to find that gear," Pollack said during his Week 3 recap . "Find out who they are, who their playmakers are, find a way to run the ball more consistently because that was ugly."

    Pollack says they have a bonified star at running back with Trevor Etienne, but the offensive line didn't give him a chance to show off his dynamic abilities.

    "Etienne has been special," Pollack said. "That's a guy I think has a chance to be the best player on the team. The offensive line was supposed to be a strength. The offensive line wasn't pushing people around. They weren't creating holes at all to let UGA develop some ground game."

    Etienne finished the game with 19 carries for 74 yards, and the rest of the team only contributed 11 more rushes for 23 yards.

    Pollack says this team will need to find its balance before taking on the team that might be their biggest hurdle of the season in Week 5. The No. 2-ranked Georgia Bulldogs take on the No. 4-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, September 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
