ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - The Georgia Bulldogs know they can't waste scoring chances when they play at No. 11 LSU on Saturday.

The No. 9 Bulldogs dominated in yards but settled for modest margins on the scoreboard in wins over Tennessee and Vanderbilt the last two weeks.

Georgia leads the Southeastern Conference with 429.6 yards per game, but lately the big yards haven't led to big points totals.

The Bulldogs had 29 first downs against Tennessee. The Vols had 10. Georgia racked up 458 yards in that game and gave up 1 yard rushing. Yet the final score was 26-14.

The stats and points also didn't match in last week's 24-14 win over Vanderbilt, when Georgia had a 425-245 advantage in yards but couldn't put the game away until the final minutes.

Georgia is tied with Florida for the SEC Eastern Division lead at 3-1, but it hasn't been scoring style points with poll voters.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford says Georgia remains capable of matching its production in the second half of its 2007 season, when it scored more than 40 points four times during a seven-game winning streak.
