OPPONENTS/ REVIEW
Darryl Gamble returned two interceptions for touchdowns including one on the game’s first play as No. 9 Georgia defeated 11th-ranked LSU 52-38 in front of 92,904 at Tiger Stadium and a CBS national television audience. Knowshon Moreno’s 68-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter gave the Bulldogs (7-1, 4-1 SEC) a three-touchdown lead, and the Tigers (5-2, 3-2) would never get closer than 14 points for the remainder of the game. Moreno finished with 163 yards on the ground. Georgia had the edge at quarterback with Matthew Stafford calmly delivering clutch throws including a 49-yard touchdown to A.J. Green while the Tigers brought heavy pressure on third-and-10. Stafford was 17-of-26 for 249 yards and two touchdowns passing, and also ran for a 7-yard score in the fourth quarter while improving to 24-5 as a starter. After the Bulldogs took an early 7-0 lead on Gamble’s first interception, LSU tied the score on the ensuing drive, Georgia marched 78 yards to take a 14-7 lead, and Moreno ran for 47 yards on the first play of Georgia’s next drive, setting up a touchdown on a five-yard fade that Stafford and receiver Kenneth Harris made look easy for a 21-7 lead. Mark Richt improved his record in opponent’s stadiums to 28-4.
2009 PLAYERS
Georgia got two touchdown passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford and a rushing touchdown from tailback Knowshon Moreno to hold off Vanderbilt 24-14 at Sanford Satdium in front of a sellout crowd of 92,746 and a Raycom Sports television audience. The Bulldogs (6-1, 3-1 SEC) put the game on ice with 17 seconds remaining as kicker Blair Walsh converted on a 40-yard field goal. Walsh also kicked the three extra points for the Bulldogs. Stafford passed for 194 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown to receiver A.J. Green and a 9-yard scoring strike to receiver Mohamed Massaquoi. Green finished with 132 yards receiving, including a 49-yarder to set up his touchdown. He became the first Bulldog to record multiple 100-yard receiving games since Reggie Brown and Fred Gibson in 2004. Moreno had an 11-yard touchdown run for the Bulldogs. He ended the game with a season-high 172 yards on 23 carries and became the 13th Bulldog in school history to eclipse 2,000 yards for his career. The touchdowns by Green and Massaquoi were set up by interceptions from safety Reshad Jones and linebacker Darius Dewberry, respectively. The Bulldogs twice built 14-point leads and had a commanding 425245 advantage in total yards. Vanderbilt’s touchdowns both came on scoring passes from quarterback Mackenzi Adams to receiver Jamie Graham. A pair of pass interference penalties set up Vanderbilt’s first touchdown. Trailing 21-14, the Commodores turned the ball over on downs at their own 26 with 2:08 remaining and lost their second straight to fall to 5-2 and 3-2.
