Bulldogs Return To The CFP, Face Either Notre Dame or Indiana

After playing the nation’s toughest schedule per ESPN’s Football Power Index, second-ranked Georgia is battle-tested entering the College Football Playoffs (CFP) on a four-game winning streak. Georgia is 4-0 against the CFP field with wins over Texas (two), Tennessee and Clemson.

After claiming its 15th SEC title in school history with a win over then No. 2 Texas for the second time this season, Georgia secured a bye to the CFP quarterfinals. The Bulldogs face either No. 5 Notre Dame or No. 8 Indiana in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 2025. In the CFP first round, the Irish played host to Indiana on Dec. 20. The Sugar Bowl winner advances to the semifinal at the Orange Bowl on Jan. 9 against the winner of No. 9 Boise State versus the No. 4 Penn State/No. 10 SMU first round winner.

The CFP National Championship Game will be Jan. 20 in Atlanta.

In school history, the Bulldogs are 3-0 against Notre Dame including a memorable 17-10 win over the Irish in the 1981 Sugar Bowl for the national championship. Then in 2017, Georgia edged Notre Dame 20-19 in South Bend and posted a 23-17 victory in Athens in 2019. The Bulldogs have never faced Indiana.

Bulldog head coach Kirby Smart and IU head coach Curt Cignetti were part of Nick Saban’s Alabama staff from 2007-10.

Georgia is 5-6 in the Sugar Bowl, the most recent appearance coming after the 2019 season when it defeated Baylor 26-14. That victory started a bowl/CFP winning streak that stands at seven.

Resilient Bulldogs Respond

Six times this season Georgia has not scored in the first quarter, and the Bulldogs are 5-1 in those games. In six games this season, Georgia has trailed at the half, and it is 4-2 in those contests.

The biggest comeback in a win so far featured a 17-0 halftime deficit and then later a 14-point deficit with less than six minutes left in the 4th quarter, both against Ga. Tech. The Bulldogs stormed back for a 44-42 win in a school record eight overtimes. In the SEC Championship Game, the Bulldogs trailed #2 Texas 6-3 at halftime and 19-16 in overtime and rallied for a 22-19 win. Earlier this year, Georgia fell behind 28-0 in the first half at No. 4 Alabama, trailed 30-7 at halftime and then took a 34-33 lead with 2:31 left in the contest before falling 41-34.

Georgia was the only SEC team to face Texas, Tennessee, Alabama and Ole Miss, the CFP’s highest-rated SEC teams after the Bulldogs. Georgia played six games against teams ranked in the committee’s final top 16, and it went 4-2 with only one of those game at home.

Georgia has bounced back twice this season after tough road losses. With their 31-17 home win over No. 7 Tennessee on Nov. 16, the Bulldogs improved to 15-3 after a loss in the Kirby Smart era, and they haven’t lost back-to-back games in the regular season since 2016, his first year at the helm. In fact, the last nine times Georgia has lost a game, it has won its next contest. This year, then No. 2 Georgia lost at No. 4 Alabama and then beat Auburn the next week in Athens. The No. 3 Bulldogs lost at No. 16 Ole Miss on Nov. 9 and then responded against No. 7 Tennessee.

SMART Football

*Georgia owns the nation’s longest active bowl streak, extending it this year to 28 seasons. Since 2019, the Bulldogs have won their last seven bowl/CFP matchups. *The Allstate Sugar Bowl will be Georgia’s 63rd appearance in a bowl/CFP game in school history with a record of 38-21-3. The appearances and wins rank second in FBS. *Georgia’s 2024 Senior Class is an FBS-leading and school record 53-4 (46-2 in the regular season) since 2021. The next best mark in this span is 47-8 by Michigan. Georgia’s 2023 Senior Class held the previous school mark at 50-4 with two national titles, an SEC crown plus went 6-0 in bowl/CFP games. *In 2024, the Bulldogs made their fourth straight appearance in the SEC Championship Game (SECCG) and seventh overall trip under Kirby Smart. After a 22-19 overtime win over then No. 2 Texas, the Bulldogs claimed their 15th SEC title in school history and the No. 2 seed in the CFP. *Four Bulldogs were named a finalist for the national award at their position: junior All-America linebacker Jalon Walker (Butkus Award); junior All-America safety Malaki Starks (Jim Thorpe Award); junior second team All-America punter Brett Thorson (Ray Guy Award); and graduate All-SEC snapper Beau Gardner (Patrick Mannelly Award). Walker was the lone winner.

Stockton Leads Comeback For 2024 SEC Title

Redshirt sophomore Gunner Stockton, a 6-1, 215-pound native of Tiger, Ga., delivered when called on to start the second half of the SEC Championship Game against Texas who had the No. 1 rated pass defense (No. 3 total defense).

He led the Bulldogs on scoring drives of 75, 61 and 72 yards in three of the first four possessions and then the game-winning TD in OT. He finished 12-for-16 for 71 yards and one INT plus had a career-high eight rushes for 19 yards. *Before the SECCG win over then No. 2 Texas, Stockton this season was 13-for16 for 135 yards with two rushing yards on nine attempts. He saw action in four games in 2023 and was 12-for-19 for 148 yards and two TDs.

Bulldogs With CFP Experience

Five current Bulldogs saw action during the 2021 CFP title run with Dan Jackson (S), Smael Mondon Jr. (LB), and Xavier Truss (OT) appearing in both games while Warren Brinson (DL) and Chaz Chambliss (LB) played in the semifinal win over Michigan.

There are 20 current Bulldogs who appeared in either the semifinal and/or final of the 2022 CFP title run. While Jackson was sidelined due to injury, Mondon and Truss started both CFP games in 2022 while Brinson and Chambliss appeared in each game too. Also of note, current Bulldogs Tate Ratledge (OG), Nazir Stackhouse (DT), Malaki Starks (S) and Brett Thorson (P) started both CFP games in 2022.

O-Line Aces Tests In Crucial Wins Over UT & Texas

Georgia has been banged up for much of the year on the offensive line while facing the nation’s toughest schedule per ESPN’s FPI. Still, the line helped lead the Bulldogs to another SEC title. Senior All-American Tate Ratledge earned First Team All-SEC honors. Junior guard Dylan Fairchild and junior center Jared Wilson made Second Team All-SEC. Fairchild was the only one to start all 13 games along with RS-senior Xavier Truss (RT). *In the SEC Championship Game win over #2 Texas, Georgia trailed 6-3 at the half with just 54 yards. In the second half, the line paved the way to a 22-19 win in overtime as Georgia finished with 277 yards and a walk-off TD. *Against #7 Tennessee, sophomore Monroe Freeling made his first career start at LT (and now has started the past four games) in place of an injured Earnest Greene III who had made 23 consecutive starts. The starting unit played the entire game against the Vols that ranked fifth nationally in scoring defense and hadn’t allowed more than 19 points in a game. Georgia’s front did not allow sack and helped the Bulldogs tally 453 yards of total offense in a vital 31-17 victory.

A week earlier, Georgia went to #16 Ole Miss and gave up five sacks after allowing just 10 total in the first eight games of the season. *Ratledge, who missed a four-game stretch due to an ankle injury, earned SEC OL Player of the Week honors after the win over #7 UT. *Earlier this year, the line was down two starters when Ratledge and Wilson were out. RS-junior Micah Morris filled in for Ratledge during that time and then he missed the Ole Miss and Tennessee games. At #1 Texas, Wilson returned and the line surrendered just one sack. Morris returned to action against UMass while Freeling started his second straight for Greene. *RS-sophomore Drew Bobo (C) has played in every game with two starts.

Top Targets

Tight Ends Help Topple Tennessee, Tech & Texas

Tight ends always have played a significant role in the Bulldog offense, and the 2024 group has made their impact. Sophomore Lawson Luckie and junior Oscar Delp plus graduate Ben Yurosek have had starring roles. *In the win over #7 UT, the trio combined for 10 catches for 130 yards and two TDs. Delp accounted for both TDs, finishing with 56 yards on four catches while Yurosek had five for 51 yards and Luckie caught one for 23 yards. Delp made his one catch versus UMass count as it resulted in a 17-yard TD. *Luckie leads the room with 348 yards receiving on 24 catches and three TDs. He is a second generation Bulldog as his father Mike (LB) was part of Bulldog triplets from 1996-98 with uncles Dustin (LB) and Miles (OL). *After #1 Texas had trimmed Georgia’s lead to 23-15 in the 4th quarter, Delp hauled in a 43-yard reception as part of a TD-answering drive that covered 89 yards on 11 plays in 5:03 to make it 30-15. *In the comeback over Ga. Tech, they combined for 8 rec., 82 yards and 1 TD. *In the SECCG win over #2 Texas, they combined for six catches and 58 yards with Luckie providing a highlight on his lone catch and had a key TD-saving tackle following an interception that could’ve been a game-ending pick-six.

Are We Punting? Nope.

In the Kirby Smart era, the Bulldogs have a 64% success rate on 4th Down (81-for-126) with 14 TDs. This year, the Bulldogs rank 7th nationally in 4th Down Conversions with an SEC best 75% (18-for-24 with 4 TDs). *Faced with a 30-7 halftime deficit at No. 4 Alabama, Georgia attacked every drive in the second half with a four-down mentality. After going 1-for-1 on 4th down in the first half, Georgia went 4-for-4 in the second half to finish 5-for-5, the best ever under Smart. The Bulldogs came into the game 1-for-2. *Georgia was 2-for-2 on 4th Downs against AU and MSU. *Georgia was 1-2 with a TD at #1 Texas, and the score by Trevor Etienne capped an 11 play, 89-yard drive in the 4th quarter to make it 30-15. *The Bulldogs were 1-for-3 with a TD at #16 OM; 3-for-4 with a TD versus UMass, 1-for-2 versus Ga. Tech and 2-for-2 versus #2 Texas in the SECCG.

The First Line Of Defense

Due to injuries, Georgia has yet to have a full complement of defensive lineman for a game this season.

G’day Mate! Thorson Wins Fans Vote For Ray Guy Award, Will Miss CFP Due To Injury

With elite distance, hang time, placement and a strong coverage unit, junior All-America punter Brett Thorson and the Bulldogs rank 3rd nationally in Net Punting (44.10). However in the SEC Championship Game, Thorson’s season ended due to a knee injury during a return after his final punt. He had four punts for a 53.5 average in the game including a 60-yarder. *Georgia’s options now at punter include true freshman Drew Miller and junior Noah Jones, and they have yet to punt in a real collegiate game. Jones has appeared in a couple G-Day spring games. * A native of Melbourne, Australia, Thorson was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award. Thorson won the fan vote but Eddie Czaplicki (USC) was this year’s overall winner. USC led the nation in Net Punting at 45.54. *Thorson averaged 47.6 yards on 42 punts, placing 22 inside the 20 with 14 fair catches. His 47.6 average would rank 3rd nationally, but the NCAA’s minimum for stat leaders is 3.6 punts a game (Min. 47 punts in 13 games). *Thorson’s career average of 45.6 ranks 2nd best in school history, trailing only Jake Camarda’s record mark of 45.8 set from 2018-21. *Posted 2nd highest Highest Punting Avg. in a Season by a Bulldog at 47.6

(Drew Butler, the 2009 Ray Guy Award winner, holds the mark at 48.1) *Named SEC Special Teams Player of the Week after #7 UT Game (Nov. 18). * Thorson is known for his comedic slant about his lack of playing time because the Bulldogs punted a record low 32 times in 2023 after just 36 punts in 2022 (15 games), the two lowest totals dating to at least 1948. * In 2024, Thorson punted four times against #14 Clemson for a 48.0 average with three placed inside the 20, two for 50+ yards and none were returned.

He came up big at Kentucky with a career-high six punts for a 49.5 average. * Thanks in part to Thorson’s punts and the entire punt coverage team including gunners Arian Smith, Dominic Lovett and Cole Speer, Georgia was the only team in the FBS that did not allow a punt return in 2023, the first school to do that since 2020 when COVID limited the amount of games teams played. *Georgia had its streak of not allowing a positive yard on a punt return end at #16 Ole Miss, a span of 28 games. Prior to a two-yard return by Rebel Micah Davis, the last one came in a 45-19 road win over Miss. State on Nov. 12, 2022 when Zavion Thomas took one 63 yards for a score. *Georgia allowed its first significant punt return since 2022 when Boo Carter (Tennessee) posted a 26-yarder this season and was promptly tackled to save a TD by Thorson. Opponents have a total of 46 yards on nine PR.

Tech. *3-for-5 from 50+ including a 55-yarder versus #14 Clemson in Atlanta and a 53-yarder into the wind versus UMass. *Tallied 10 points in 34-20 win over Florida in Jacksonville, hit a pair of field goals for team’s only points in the first half including a 53-yarder. *Named one of the Groza “Stars of the Week” after 12 points in 30-15 road win over #1 Texas, hitting field goals of 33, 44 and 48 yards plus three PATs. *Earned SEC Special Teams Player of the Week in the win over #14 Clemson with 10 points including the first six points of the season on field goals of 30 yards and a career-long 55-yarder -- the longest by a Bulldog since the 2018 Rose Bowl (Rodrigo Blankenship vs. Oklahoma). *Duke graduate transfer Charlie Ham, a native of Atlanta, Ga., provides depth. This year, he has five kickoffs with two touchbacks for a 62.8 average.

Snap Judgment: Gardner Named Finalist

San Franicsco native Beau Gardner, a graduate transfer from UCLA, became Georgia’s first finalist for the Patrick Mannelly Award (nation’s best long snapper, annual award began in 2019). *Snapped on a combined 69 field goal attempts and PATs as well as each of the 42 punts this season.

Senior Chaz Chambliss fielded a short kickoff and made a four-yard return versus UF while Cash Jones has four KOR for 58 yards including a 19-yarder versus UMass and an 18-yarder against Ga. Tech.

Block That Punt...Block That Kick

Currently, four Bulldogs have blocked a kick or punt in their career. * DB Joenel Aguero blocked a Florida punt in 2023 that resulted in a safety.

In 2022, DL Nazir Stackhouse blocked a field goal that was returned 96 yards for a touchdown by teammate Chris Smith in the opening quarter of the SEC Championship Game versus No. 14 LSU.

With the road win over No. 1 Texas, Kirby Smart joined a select group of head coaches who were the fastest to reach the century mark in their career.

Smart is the fastest SEC coach to do it. Currently, he is is 105-18 in nine seasons.

Fewest Games To Reach 100 Victories

A Bobo On The Field And In The Press Box

Redshirt sophomore center Drew Bobo made his first career start against Auburn this season while his father, Mike, is in his second year back as Georgia’s John & Alice Sands Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks coach.

The Bulldog offensive line was down a pair of starters against AU and MSU with senior right guard Tate Ratledge and redshirt junior center Jared Wilson sidelined with injuries. Redshirt junior Micah Morris filled in at guard for five games for Ratledge while Bobo, a graduate of Auburn High School, got the nod at center versus AU and MSU. Wilson returned to start at #1 Texas while Ratledge saw action against UF and then started at #16 OM. Drew Bobo has appeared in all 13 games and helped run a successful fake punt in the 4th quarter of the SEC Championship Game win over No. 2 Texas. He completed a nine-yard flip pass to Arian Smith on 4th-and-5 from the UGA 30!

Did You Know? Mike Bobo and Kirby Smart were teammates at UGA from 1994-97. In 2006, Drew served as the ring bearer at Smart’s wedding.

Season Two For Uga XI, a.k.a “Boom“

Following the retirement of Uga X, 10-month old puppy Boom assumed the vaunted role of Georgia’s on-field mascot in 2023. Currently, Uga XI has a career record of 24-3. *During a pregame ceremony at the annual “G Day” game, University of Georgia president Jere W. Morehead joined J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks and his son, Davis, in the ceremonial collaring of Boom. *Boom is the 11th solid white English Bulldog to serve as Georgia’s mascot since the line began in 1956 courtesy of the Seiler family of Savannah. In his first season, Boom saw the Bulldogs post their third-consecutive undefeated regular season, followed by a record-breaking 63-3 victory over FSU in the Orange Bowl. In the offseason, Boom resides with his family in Savannah.

Coaching Staff Moves For 2024

The Bulldogs welcome back James Coley (wide receivers), who is in his second stint at UGA (first was 2016-19) during the Kirby Smart era. Also, Josh Crawford (run game coordinator/running backs), Travaris Johnson (co-defensive coordinator, safeties) and Donte Williams (defensive backs) are fresh additions.

Also, Kirk Benedict has been promoted from special teams quality control to special teams coordinator. Meanwhile, former co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has transitioned into an off-field analyst to spend more time with family. Muschamp’s youngest son, Whit, is a freshman QB at Vanderbilt while his oldest son, Jackson, was a QB at UGA, finishing in 2023.

No. 1 Georgia 34, No. 14 Clemson 3 Aug. 31, 2024 • Mercedes-Benz Stadium • Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. — Led by a stifling performance from its defense, the topranked Georgia football team opened its 2024 season Saturday with a dominant 34-3 win over No. 14 Clemson in the Aflac Kickoff Game in front of a sellout crowd of 78,827 inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium and a national audience on ABC. The Bulldogs (1-0) were leading 20-3 in the fourth quarter when quarterback Carson Beck hit sophomore wide receiver London Humphreys for a 40-yard touchdown to lift much of the crowd of 78,827 to its feet and blow the game open with 9:57 remaining. Beck finished 23 of 33 passing for 278 yards and two touchdowns, the Georgia offense racked up 447 yards, and the Bulldog defense, which got an interception from safety Malaki Starks in the fourth quarter, held the Tigers (0-1) to just 188 yards.

The Bulldogs opened their season with a win for the 11th year in a row. In 2021, the Bulldogs pulled out a 10-3 win over the Tigers in Charlotte, N.C., to open the season. Not unlike that defense-dominated matchup, neither offense got much going early in this year’s meeting, and the game was scoreless after the opening quarter. In the second, Georgia’s offense continued what became a methodical, 12play drive that ended with a 30-yard Peyton Woodring field goal and a 3-0 lead.

Later in the second, Woodring blasted a career-long 55-yard field goal to make it 6-0 Georgia with 4:16 to play in the quarter.

Georgia got the ball to start the second half and quickly went to work. Receiver Arian Smith ran the ball for seven yards on first down and then had a 32-yard reception on the next play. Wideout Dillon Bell ran for 27 yards up the left side, and soon after, Beck hit receiver Colbie Young for a seven-yard touchdown and a 13-0 lead with 12:01 to play in the third.

Clemson put together its best drive on the ensuing possession and had a first down at the Georgia 7. But the Bulldogs held the Tigers to a 26-yard Nolan Hauser field goal that cut the Georgia lead to 13-3 with 6:34 to go in the third quarter.

The Bulldogs responded with another touchdown drive. This one began with a short pass from Beck to tailback Nate Frazier that led to a 24-yard gain — and ended with a 1-yard Frazier run for the score and a 20-3 lead with 3:15 remaining in the quarter. Georgia also got a 23-yard completion from Beck to wideout London Humphrey on third-and-10 to keep the drive going.

Early in the fourth, Beck found Humphrey for the 40-yard score that made it 27-3. Later in the period, after Starks’ interception, Cash Jones ran the ball in from the 15 to push the lead to 34-3. Linebacker Jalon Walker led the defense with six tackles, including 1.5 sacks.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“Anytime you play in Atlanta in this facility and it’s part of a title-sponsor game where you’re playing another top-15, top-20 (team), to me it feels like a playoff game. It’s a great way to try to assess where you are as a team.”

Freshman Nate Frazier ran for 83 yards and scored on a 1-yard run.

Worth Noting…

• With the win, Georgia has won 11 straight season-openers and 40 consecutive regular-season games, a run that began in 2020. The Bulldogs have won 47 of their last 49 games.

• Linebacker Jalon Walker’s six tackles led a group of 13 Bulldogs with at least two stops. Walker also led the defense with 1.5 sacks, while linebacker Mykel Williams had a team-high 2.0 tackles for loss.

• Malaki Starks’ leaping fourth-quarter interception was the sixth of his career and looked almost exactly like his interception against Oregon in the 2021 Aflac Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

• Arian Smith led a large group of pass-catchers with a career-high five receptions for 56 yards. Nine different Bulldogs had at least one catch and eight caught at least two.

• Running back Brandon Robinson, in his first game since the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Jan. 9, 2023, got the start in the backfield for Georgia. Robinson suffered a season-ending ruptured patella tendon less than two weeks before the 2023 opener. In his return, Robinson had seven carries for 12 yards.

• The captains for the Clemson game were quarterback Carson Beck, offensive lineman Tate Ratledge, Starks and Williams. All four were among Georgia’s conference-leading 15 preseason All-SEC selections.

• Former Georgia coach Mark Richt gave the invocation on the field prior to kickoff Saturday, while legendary kicker Kevin Butler was the Bulldogs’ honorary captain.

No. 1 Georgia 48, Tennessee Tech 3

Sept. 7, 2024 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens ATHENS, Ga. — Led by five touchdown passes from quarterback Carson Beck, the top-ranked Georgia football team earned its 26th consecutive win at Sanford Stadium on Saturday, routing Tennessee Tech 48-3 in the Bulldogs’ home opener. The victory, in front of a crowd of 93,033 and a national audience on SEC Network+.

Beck completed his first 11 passes, for 111 yards, and threw three touchdown passes in the first half. Beck sat out much of the second half after the game was a runaway, ending up 18 of 25 passing for 242 yards and five touchdowns. Beck is the eighth Georgia passer to throw five TD passes in a game.

While the Georgia (2-0) offense piled up 498 yards, averaging 8.2 yards per play, the Bulldog defense held the Golden Eagles (0-2) to 134 yards of total offense and just 2.8 yards per play. Tech’s only points came on a 32-yard field goal on the game’s final play.

On Tech’s first play from scrimmage, the Golden Eagles were stopped for a four-yard loss. The first time a Georgia player got his hands on the ball was when Anthony Evans III returned the Golden Eagles’ first punt, going 46 yards down to the Tech 22-yard line. On the Bulldogs’ first offensive play, Beck hit wide receiver Dillon Bell on the left edge of the end zone for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead less than three minutes into the game.

After the Bulldog defense forced another punt, the Georgia offense kept rolling. On third-and-11 at the UGA 41, Beck hit Oscar Delp for 13 yards. On the next play, Beck hit Dominic Lovett for 12, followed by a 14-yard completion to Arian Smith. A short pass to Brandon Robinson on the next play resulted in a 14-yard gain, and on first-and-goal at the 6, Beck connected with Colbie Young for a sixyard touchdown and a 14-0 lead.

The Bulldogs later got a 27-yard Peyton Woodring to push their lead to 17-0 with 11:45 to play in the half. And just before halftime, Georgia took a 24-0 lead after Beck hit Lovett for a 10-yard touchdown.

Georgia got the ball to open the second half, and soon another Beck pass was in the air for a touchdown. This time, on first down at the 50, Beck lofted one deep to Smith for the 50-yard score and a 31-0 lead.

Tech fumbled on its next drive, the game’s first turnover, and safety Dan Jackson recovered the loose ball at the 27. Soon after, following a penalty, Beck lofted an easy pass to an open Lawson Luckie on the left side for a 37-yard touchdown and a 37-0 lead.

Gunner Stockton took over at quarterback midway through the third quarter and led the Bulldogs on another touchdown drive, with Branson Robinson scoring on a 13-yard rush. Stockton finished the game 10 of 12 passing for 90 yards. Woodring kicked a 32-yard field goal with 3:07 remaining in the game to make it 48-0 Bulldogs.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“It’s awesome being home. Every time you walk into Sanford Stadium and see it packed — I give our fans credit, they were in the heat, they fought the heat and came and were loud, especially early. I think it was good entertainment; we scored on that first play on offense and got things rolling in the first half. I was proud of our fans.”

Worth Noting…

• The win was Georgia’s 26th in a row at Sanford Stadium and the Bulldogs’ 41st straight regular-season victory — both are the most in program history and are the longest active streaks among all FBS teams. Georgia has now won 48 of its last 50 games.

• Georgia’s 2024 senior class is now 44-2, including a 38-0 record in the regular season. This year’s seniors are chasing the all-time mark set by the Class of 2023, which went 50-4 overall, won two national titles, an SEC crown, and went 6-0 in bowl/CFP games.

• In his first appearance as a Bulldog, running back Trevor Etienne rushed for 78 yards on five carries, including a 45-yarder, and caught two passes for 14 yards.

As a group, Georgia’s backs rushed for 166 yards on 24 attempts.

• This was Georgia’s third win over Tennessee TTU in three meetings. The Bulldogs won 67-0 in 1943 and 38-0 in 2009.

• During a timeout in the opening quarter, longtime Georgia Director of Sports Communications Claude Felton, who retired in January after 45 years on the job, was recognized on the field. Saturday also marked the debut of the Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium Press Box, which has a floor honoring Felton and one honoring his predecessor, Dan Magill.

• The captains were offensive lineman Xavier Truss, running back Cash Jones, nose guard Nazir Stackhouse and linebacker Chaz Chambliss. The Bulldogs won the toss and elected to defer to the second half.

No. 1 Georgia 13, Kentucky 12 Sept. 14, 2024 • Kroger Field • Lexington, Ky.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The top-ranked Georgia football team scratched and clawed its way to a 13-12 win over Kentucky in the Bulldogs’ SEC opener Saturday night in front of a crowd of 61,663 at Kroger Field and a national television audience on ABC. Down 9-3 in the third quarter of a game dominated by the defenses, the Bulldogs got a 30-yard Peyton Woodring field goal and a three-yard Branson Robinson touchdown to take the lead for good.

The win is Georgia’s 42nd in a row during the regular season, 28th straight in SEC regular-season games, and the program’s 15th straight over Kentucky. Georgia had just 63 yards of offense in the first half before finding some rhythm and hitting some big plays in the second to finish with 262.

Georgia’s defense held Kentucky to 284 yards, 3.9 yards per play, and forced a turnover that led to a Bulldog field goal. Cornerback Daylen Everette led the defense with eight tackles, including six solo. Eleven Bulldogs had at least four stops.

Kentucky took a 3-0 lead on a school-record 55-yard Alex Raynor field goal with 2:45 left in the opening quarter. The field goal marked the first first-half points that the Bulldogs had allowed this season.

In the second quarter, consecutive 15-yard penalties on Georgia’s defense, plus a 15-yard Brock Vandagriff run on third-and-12, put the Wildcats in Georgia territory. A Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins sack led to a six-yard loss. On the next play, Raylen Wilson sacked and stripped Vandagriff, and Damon Wilson II recovered the ball for Georgia at the Kentucky 23.

The turnover led to a 34-yard Woodring field goal, tying the game 3-3 with 3:48 to play in the half. The Wildcats answered with a drive inside the Georgia 20 and another Raynor field goal, this one a 32-yarder that put Kentucky ahead 6-3 at the half.

The Wildcats got the ball to start the second half and drove down to the Bulldog 22 before having to settle for a 40-yard Raynor field goal that pushed the Kentucky lead to 9-3.

Georgia’s offense had its best drive of the game on the ensuing possession, with Beck completing a 33-yard pass to Lovett, followed soon after by a 20-yard completion to Dillon Bell. However, the Bulldogs eventually had to settle for a 30yard Woodring field goal.

The Bulldog defense forced a three-and-out on Kentucky’s next drive, and the offense took over at the Georgia 32. Trevor Etienne touched the ball on five straight plays on the drive, resulting in 49 yards, and Robinson ran the ball in from the 3 for a touchdown and the Bulldogs’ first lead of the game, 13-9, with 12:20 to play.

Kentucky answered with an 11-play drive that resulted in a 51-yard Raynor field goal, cutting the Bulldog lead to 13-12 with 8:01 remaining. Neither team was able to produce any points after that.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“I don’t know that we can rest and recover (next week). I mean, that’s what people think bye weeks mean. We’ve got to find a way to improve and get better. You know, we were really beat up coming into this game, specifically at one position (defensive line), and it was a really tough week for us.”

• The Bulldogs were held to three first downs and 63 total yards in the first half, their lowest yardage output in an opening half since 2009. The offense produced some big plays (and 199 yards) in the second half, including a pair of 33yard completions to Dominic Lovett. Lovett led all receivers with six catches for 89 yards.

• Facing off against his former (and hometown) team, Kentucky quarterback Brock Vandagriff threw for 114 yards and ran for 26. Georgia sacked Vandagriff three times and forced a fumble on two of them, one of which the Bulldogs recovered and led to a field goal in the second quarter.

• Eight Bulldogs had at least five tackles, led by cornerback Daylen Everett and safety Malaki Starks with eight each. Georgia’s defense has yet to allow a touchdown through three games.

• After punting a total of five times in Georgia’s first two games, Brett Thorson punted six times against Kentucky. He averaged 49.5 yards per boot, with a long a 58. Seven of Thorson’s 11 punts this season have been downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

• Not only has Georgia won 15 straight games against Kentucky, the Bulldogs have also won eight in a row in the Wildcats’ stadium. Georgia is 22-4 all-time at Kroger Field.

• The captains against Kentucky were linebacker Smael Mondon Jr., safety Malaki Starks, running back Trevor Etienne and offensive lineman Tate Ratledge.

Kentucky won the toss and deferred to the second half.

Damon Wilson II recovered a fumble in the second quarter of the Bulldogs’ 15th straight win over Kentucky.

Sept. 28, 2024 • Bryant-Denny Stadium • Tuscaloosa, Ala. TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The No. 2-ranked Georgia football team suffered its first regular-season defeat since 2020 on Saturday night, falling 41-34 to No. 4 Alabama in a wild game in front of a crowd of 100,077 at Bryant-Denny Stadium and a national audience on ABC. The Crimson Tide jumped out in front early with three first-quarter touchdowns, forcing the Bulldogs to play catch-up. Despite outscoring the Tide 27-11 in the second half, and briefly taking the lead late in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs came up short in the end.

In a game with more than 1,000 yards of offense, Alabama finished with 547, while Georgia gained 519. Georgia’s defense had allowed just 18 points on six field goals coming into the game, and the offense had zero turnovers through three games before committing four Saturday.

Quarterback Jalen Milroe scored on a seven-yard run for a Tide 7-0 lead with 10:11 left in the first quarter. Alabama went ahead 14-0 on a Milroe 16-yard touchdown pass to Jamarion Miller.

The Bulldogs’ next drive ended when Domani Jackson intercepted a Carson Beck pass in Georgia territory and returned it to the UGA 22. Three plays later, Germie Bernard ran for a seven-yard touchdown and a 21-0 lead. Alabama scored again on its next drive when Milroe got free on fourth-and-1 and ran 36 yards for the touchdown and a 28-0 lead.

The Bulldog offense got going on its next possession, scoring on Trevor Etienne’s seven-yard run to cut the lead to 28-7 with 6:43 left in the half. Alabama’s final points of the half came on a safety, pushing the lead to 30-7 at halftime.

The Bulldogs cut Alabama’s lead to 30-15 with 5:06 left in the third on a 12yard touchdown catch by Arian Smith. Georgia converted two fourth-down plays on the drive and drew a penalty on Alabama on a third attempt. Beck hit Lawson Luckie in the end zone to convert the two-point attempt.

Alabama’s Graham Nicholson kicked a 28-yard field goal with 1:23 to play in the third to push the Tide’s lead to 33-15. Georgia cut the lead to 33-21 with 9:46 left in the game when Beck hit Luckie for an eight-yard touchdown.

Two big completions got the Bulldogs to the Tide 1 on their next drive. Beck connected with Cash Jones for a 30-yard gain, followed immediately by a 47-yard strike to Smith. Two plays later, Dillon Bell ran the ball in for a three-yard touchdown, trimming Alabama’s lead to 33-27 with 5:39 to go.

Georgia’s defense forced Alabama to punt on its next drive and the Bulldogs got the ball back at their 33 with a chance for the lead with 2:42 remaining. And on the first play, Beck hit Bell down the middle for a 67-yard touchdown to take a 34-33 lead with 2:31 remaining.

But the lead was short-lived. On the first play of Alabama’s ensuing drive, Milroe connected with Ryan Williams for a 75-yard touchdown, and a successful two-point conversion made it 41-34 Tide with 2:18 to play.

Georgia had one last possession and drove into Alabama territory. On fourthand-8 at the Tide 34, Beck hit Luckie for 14 yards to the 22. Beck’s next pass was intercepted in the end zone with 43 seconds left.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“In the second half, we played some tighter coverage. We made some stops. We possessed the ball on offense. When you make stops, you give yourself a chance.”

Dan Jackson had a career-high 10 tackles and an interception.

No. 5 Georgia 31, Auburn 13

Oct. 5, 2024 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens ATHENS, Ga. — Trevor Etienne rushed for two touchdowns, Carson Beck threw for two more, and the No. 5-ranked Georgia football team earned its eighth straight win over Auburn, 31-13, in front of a sellout, homecoming crowd of 93,033 at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on ABC. Georgia finished with 381 yards, while the Tigers gained 337. Georgia now leads the all-time series with Auburn 65-56-8. Beck completed 23 of 29 passes for 240 yards and the two touchdowns, while Etienne did it all, rushing 16 times for 88 yards and the two TDs and catching six passes for 36. Defensive end Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins had a pair of sacks to help pace the strong showing from the defense.

The Bulldog offense got the scoring started with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with an Etienne two-yard rush up the middle for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 6:24 remaining in the first quarter. Etienne had three rushes and two receptions on the drive, including a nine-yarder on a screen pass down to the 1-yard line.

The Tigers drove deep into Georgia territory on their next possession and had a first down at the 12. On third-and-6 at the 8, defensive end Mykel Williams tackled Thorne for a 1-yard loss. Auburn’s Towns McGough kicked a 27-yard field goal to cut the Georgia lead to 7-3.

The second quarter was scoreless until the Bulldogs got the ball back with 1:02 on the clock. On first down at the Auburn 49, Beck hit Dominic Lovett for eight yards, followed by a one-yard completion to Etienne. On the next play, Etienne got loose on the right side for a 23-yard gain to the Tiger 17. Two plays later, Beck found Lovett on the left hash for an 11-yard touchdown, and a 14-3 lead.

Auburn managed to complete a couple of passes to get into field-goal range before halftime, and McGough’s 54-yard attempt as time expired was blocked by safety Dan Jackson.

With 9:45 left in the third, Tigers running back Jarquez Hunter got free around the right side and went 38 yards for a touchdown, cutting the UGA lead to 14-10.

But the game got no closer.

Georgia ran the ball on nine of 12 plays on the ensuing drive and scored a touchdown on Etienne’s one-yard plunge. The back’s second TD of the game pushed the Bulldogs’ lead to 21-10 with 3:50 to play in the third.

Auburn got aggressive on its next possession and went for it on fourth and-1 at its 44-yard line. A Thorne run play was blown up from the start and linebacker Raylen Wilson got the tackle for a loss of four at the 40. Georgia took advantage of the great field position and later scored on a three-yard pass from Beck to Bell, making it a 28-10 game with 12:34 remaining.

The Tigers cut the lead to 28-13 with 7:38 left on McGough’s 26-yard field goal. Auburn had a first-and-goal at the 10 but the Bulldog defense kept them out of the end zone. Kicker Peyton Woodring added a bit of insurance with a 47-yard field goal with 1:50 to make it 31-13.

No. 5 Georgia 41, Mississippi State 31 Oct. 12, 2024 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens

ATHENS, Ga. — Fifth-ranked Georgia amassed 605 yards of offense in a 41-31 win over Mississippi State in front of a sellout crowd of 93,033 at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on SEC Network.

Quarterback Carson Beck threw for a career-high 459 yards and three touchdowns, completing passes to 11 different receivers. Five different Bulldogs caught four or more passes; wideout Arian Smith had five for a career-high 134 yards and a touchdown.

On Georgia’s second offensive play, a Beck pass was tipped and intercepted by cornerback Brice Pollock at the UGA 26-yard line. State’s Kyle Ferrie later kicked a 47-yard field goal to put MSU ahead 3-0.

Georgia answered with a 10-play drive that ended with a 45-yard Peyton Woodring field goal to tie the game. Woodring later added a 32-yarder in the second quarter.

After the defense got another quick stop — State had a total of seven yards after three possessions — Georgia’s offense drove 81 yards for the game’s first touchdown. Branson Robinson put Georgia up 10-3 with a 5-yard run with 2:13 left in the quarter.

State cut the lead to 13-10 on a 24-yard touchdown pass from Michael Van Buren Jr. to Kelly Akharaiyi. Georgia produced some big plays of its own on the ensuing possession, and Beck hit Dillon Bell in the back of the end zone for a 31yard score and a 20-10 lead.

Later in the second, Beck found Smith down the left hash for a 55-yard gain to the MSU 25. A few plays later, running back Cash Jones caught a direct snap in the backfield, handed the ball off to Beck, and the quarterback then lofted a pass to tight end Oscar Delp for a 17-yard gain to the 1. Tight end Lawson Luckie caught a 1-yard TD pass for a 27-10 lead.

Safety KJ Bolden picked off the first pass of his career on State’s final drive of the half, giving UGA the ball at its 19 with 27 seconds left. Woodring attempted a 55-yard field goal as time expired but was wide left.

During the Bulldogs’ first drive of the third, Beck hit tight end Ben Yurosek up the left side for a 29-yard gain, and on the next play, Beck found Smith for a 42-yard touchdown and a 34-10 lead.

State answered with a 19-yard rushing touchdown by Johnnie Daniels, cutting Georgia’s lead to 34-17 with 8:27 left in the third. After another Beck interception, Van Buren hit running back Davon Booth for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 2.

At the end of the 16-play, 81-yard drive that took 7:26 off the clock, running back Trevor Etienne plowed into the end zone from the 1 to give Georgia a 41-24 lead with 3:33 to play. Beck’s 36th completion of the game, a 21-yarder to Bell on the left side to the MSU 4, gave the quarterback a new career-high in passing yardage and tied the school single-game record for completions.

State’s final touchdown was a 35-yard completion to Akharaiyi with 1:47 remaining that made it a 41-31 game.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“We started fast and did some good things. ... I thought we gave them 14 points on defense, and if you take those 14 points away, I feel pretty good about the game.

But we absolutely just handed them 14.”

No. 5 Georgia 30, No. 1 Texas 15

Oct. 19, 2024 • DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium • Austin, Texas AUSTIN, Texas — The fifth-ranked Georgia football team went on the road and knocked off top-ranked Texas, 30-15, in front of a sellout crowd of 105,215 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and a national audience on ABC. The Bulldogs overcame three interceptions by Carson Beck thanks in large part to a defensive effort that largely held one of college football’s top offenses — 43.2 points per game coming into the game — in check. Georgia finished with 10 tackles for loss and seven sacks, with linebacker Jalon Walker getting three sacks and a fumble recovery.

Georgia was held to 283 yards of offense and converted just 6 of 17 thirddown attempts, but it made enough plays when it had to, including running back Trevor Etienne’s three touchdown runs. And kicker Peyton Woodring connected on field goals from 33, 48 and 44 yards. Texas, which was held to 38 yards in the first half, finished with 259.

Two of Beck’s interceptions came in the first quarter, but the UGA defense didn’t allow Texas to capitalize. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs forced their own turnover when cornerback Daylen Everette blitzed, sacked quarterback Quinn Ewers, forced a fumble, and recovered it at the Texas 13.

Georgia made the most of the turnover, scoring on a two-yard run by Etienne to take a 7-0 lead with six seconds left in the quarter. Etienne had 33 yards rushing and 23 receiving on seven touches in the opening quarter. Woodring’s 33-yard field goal pushed the Bulldogs’ lead to 10-0 with 10:46 left in the half.

Everette produced another turnover on Texas’ next drive, intercepting Ewers at the Longhorn 34. Three plays later, after a 17-yard completion to Dominic Lovett, Etienne ran the ball in for a 15-yard touchdown. After another defensive stop, Woodring booted a 48-yard field goal to push the lead to 20-0.

Later in the half, Damon Wilson II sacked Arch Manning and forced a fumble that Walker recovered at the Texas 30 with 25 seconds left. Georgia then closed out the half with a 44-yard Woodring field goal to go up 23-0.

The Longhorns’ first drive of the second half ended with a two-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond, followed by a successful two-point attempt, cutting the Georgia lead to 23-8. Late in the third, after a controversial UT interception, Ewers hit Jaydon Blue for a 17-yard touchdown, cutting the lead to 23-15.

Georgia’s final touchdown came on fourth down at the 1, when Etienne scored to make it 30-15 with 12:04 remaining. The Bulldog defense held off the Longhorns the rest of the way.

The Bulldogs’ seventh sack of the game came when the Longhorns went for it on fourth-and-6 at the Georgia 37. Williams sacked and stripped Ewers and Wilson recovered at the UGA 44 with 10:23 to play.

The Georgia defense later turned the Longhorns over on downs at the Bulldog 19 with 5:26 left in the game. The defense did it again with 1:10 remaining to seal the victory.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“It’s pretty cool to hit that number (100 wins) because when I started I thought that was unreachable, unattainable. Now in 10 years, 9 years, I don’t know how many years it is, we get there. It’s a credit to this university and the support we have that we’ve been able to do that.”

Jalon Walker led the defense with three sacks and a fumble recovery.

SCORING SUMMARY

Nov. 2, 2024 • EverBank Stadium • Jacksonville, Fla. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The No. 2-ranked Georgia football came up with several big plays late in the game to knock off Florida, 34-20, on Saturday afternoon in front of a crowd of 73,607 at EverBank Stadium and a national audience on ABC. With the game tied 20-20, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck connected with wide receiver Dominic Lovett for a 10-yard touchdown with 4:01 to go. That was followed soon after by an interception by linebacker CJ Allen, and Dwight Phillips, Jr. later scored on a 4-yard run to seal the victory.

The Bulldogs moved the ball all the way down to the Florida 5-yard line on their second drive of the game before having to settle for a 23-yard Peyton Woodring field goal and a 3-0 lead with 2:10 left in the first quarter.

Florida produced the first turnover of the game early in the second quarter, intercepting a Beck pass at the Georgia 43. On the next play, Gator quarterback DJ Lagway hit wideout Aidan Mizell for a 43-yard touchdown and a 7-3 Florida lead with 13:42 left in the half.

The Gators picked off another Beck pass on Georgia’s next drive, taking over at the Florida 49. The Gators drove inside the 15 before the Bulldog defense forced them to settle for a 32-yard Trey Smack field goal.

With 43 seconds left in the half, Woodring kicked a 53-yard field goal to cut the Florida lead to 10-6. The Gators, playing with backup quarterback Aidan Warner after Lagway left the game earlier in the quarter with an injury, answered with a 53-yarder from Smack to make it 13-6 Florida at halftime.

The Gators forced another turnover over on Georgia’s first drive of the third, intercepting Beck, who was hit as he threw, for the third time. The Bulldog defense forced a quick three-and-out, with cornerback Daylen Everette tackling Warner for a 3-yard loss on third down, to get the ball back.

Georgia then tied things up 13-13 with 7:01 left in the third. Beck completed passes of 9 and 17 yards to Lovett, Dillon Bell ran 33 yards to the Florida 15 and later caught an 11-yard pass to the 2, and Frazier capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run.

Florida’s next drive ended with a bad snap on a long field-goal attempt, with the Gators losing 31 yards on the play and Georgia taking over at the Florida 36.

The Bulldogs then went ahead 20-13 on a 22-yard touchdown catch by Cash Jones out of the backfield.

The Gators tied the game on a 15-yard Ja’Kobi Jackson touchdown run, making it 20-20 with 7:29 remaining. Georgia then drove 75 yards in seven plays and scored on the 10-yard touchdown pass from Beck to Lovett. Earlier in the drive, facing a third-and-7 at the Bulldog 28, Beck connected with Arian Smith for a 34yard gain to the Gator 38. That was followed by a 21-yard completion to Lawson Luckie down to the 17.

Allen picked off Warner on Florida’s next drive, and Phillips ran the ball in soon after to put the game away with 3:03 remaining.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“The difference in the game was our fans gave us some momentum, gave us some energy there, (and we) had some big defensive stops. Obviously you cannot turn the ball over and beat good teams. And make no mistake about it, Florida’s a much improved team.”

Dominic Lovett had seven catches for 52 yards and a touchdown.

No. 16 Ole Miss 28, No. 3 Georgia 10

Nov. 9, 2024 • Vaught-Hemingway Stadium • Oxford, Miss.

OXFORD, Miss. — The No. 3-ranked Georgia football team fell to No. 16 Ole Miss, 28-10, on a rainy Saturday afternoon in front of a crowd of 68,126 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and a national audience on ABC. The Bulldogs went ahead 7-0 early but struggled to get much going after that, suffering a second regular-season loss for the first time since 2020. Quarterback Carson Beck completed 20 of 31 passes for 185 yards, while the Georgia rushing attack was held to 76 yards on 31 attempts.

The Georgia defense got off to a great start, stopping Rebel quarterback Jaxson Dart for a 1-yard run on the first play, sacking him for a loss of 6 on the second, and then safety Dan Jackson intercepted a Dart pass at the Rebel 34 and returned it 13 yards to the 21 on the third play.

Georgia’s offense took full advantage of the turnover. Trevor Etienne ran the ball four times in a row to get to the Rebel 4. Later, on fourth-and-goal at the 2, Nate Frazier ran the ball in on the right side for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 10:32 left in the opening quarter.

Austin Simmons took over at quarterback for Ole Miss on its second drive and led the Rebels 75 yards for a touchdown. The Rebels converted a fourth-and-1 at the Georgia 44 and later scored on a 9-yard run by Ulysses Bentley, tying the game with 6:53 to play in the first.

Dart returned for the Rebels’ third drive and led them down to the UGA 6-yard line, where the Bulldogs forced Ole Miss to settle for a 33-yard Caden Davis field goal and a 10-7 Rebel lead with 3:01 on the clock.

The Rebels added a 43-yard Davis field goal with 12:12 left in the half to push their lead to 13-7. Ole Miss later got a 53-yard Davis field goal to make it 16-7 with 2:55 to play until halftime.

Georgia opened the second half with a 70-yard drive that included four plays of at least 12 yards, but the Bulldogs ultimately had to settle for a 23-yard Peyton Woodring field goal that cut the Rebels’ lead to 16-10.

Ole Miss answered with a 75-yard touchdown drive that ended with a 10-yard pass to Antwane Wells in the back of the end zone. Georgia stopped the two-point attempt, holding the Rebels’ lead to 22-10.

After being held to 69 yards in the first half, Georgia gained 138 in the third quarter, but only managed a field goal. The Bulldogs had the ball as the fourth began and moved the ball down to the Rebel 27, but a fourth-and-10 Beck pass was tipped and intercepted with 7:22 left in the game.

Ole Miss added a 25-yard Davis field goal with 3:22 remaining to extend the Rebels’ lead to 25-10. Ole Miss sacked and stripped Beck on Georgia’s next drive, recovering the fumble at the Georgia 19. The Rebels tacked on a 32-yard Davis field goal with 1:11 remaining to make it 28-10.

Linebacker CJ Allen led the Georgia defense with eight tackles and two QB hurries. Linebacker Jalon Walker and defensive back Malaki Starks had six tackled each.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“We obviously struggled in a lot of areas. We had miscues, mistakes, penalties, things that are really hard to overcome, especially when you play a really good football team — and they are.”

No. 12 Georgia 31, No. 7 Tennessee 17 Nov. 16, 2024 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens

ATHENS, Ga. — The No. 12-ranked Georgia football team rallied from a 10-0 deficit and held No. 7 Tennessee scoreless in the second half in the Bulldogs’ 31-17 win in front of a sellout crowd of 93,033 at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on ABC. Quarterback Carson Beck paced the Bulldogs offense with 347 yards passing, throwing a pair of first-half touchdown passes to tight end Oscar Delp and running for the go-ahead score in the third quarter. Beck completed passes to 10 different receivers, with tight ends Ben Yurosek and Delp combining for nine receptions for 106 yards.

Relying heavily on the passing attack, Georgia finished with 453 yards of offense while holding Tennessee to 313 yards, more than 150 below the Vols’ average. Linebackers Jalon Walker and Smael Mondon Jr. and defensive back KJ Bolden all had eight tackles. Linebacker Chaz Chambliss added a pair of sacks.

The Volunteers went ahead on their first drive, scoring on third-and-goal at the 1 when tight end Miles Kitselman lined up in the backfield, took the handoff and dove over the pile for a 7-0 Tennessee lead.

Later in the first, Georgia punter Brett Thorson saved a touchdown with an open-field tackle after a 26-yard return. The Vols started their next drive at the UGA 37, but they didn’t get much closer. The defense forced Tennessee to settle for a 52-yard Max Gilbert field goal and a 10-0 lead.

On the second play of the second quarter, Beck scrambled for 14 yards to the 21. Two plays later, he found Delp in the back of the end zone for a touchdown, cutting the UT lead to 10-7 with 13:30 until halftime.

After a defensive stop, the Bulldog offense embarked on one of the more unusual drives of the season. There was a fumble that the officials after review ruled an incomplete pass, and then wideout Arian Smith caught a pass, fumbled and then recovered the ball about 10 yards down field, making it a 23-yard gain. Beck later found Delp in the back of the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown and a 14-10 lead.

Tennessee answered with a touchdown drive of its own, going ahead 17-14 with 1:54 to play in the half on Dylan Sampson’s 27-yard run. Georgia was able to drive into Tennessee territory and tie the game 17-17 on Peyton Woodring’s 36yard field goal with 5 seconds to play in the half.

Georgia went on a long drive to take the lead in the third quarter, covering 87 yards in 12 plays. Beck ran through a big hole in the middle for the touchdown and a 24-17 lead — it’s the first time the Vols have yielded more than 18 points all season — with 5:32 remaining in the period.

Frazier scored on a 2-yard run with 2:26 remaining in the game to put the Bulldogs ahead 31-17, capping a clock-bleeding drive that covered 92 yards in 12 plays.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“It was probably the best atmosphere that I’ve ever been a part of for a game like this. It was better than Notre Dame (in 2019) to me. It was a more meaningful game, a conference game at the end of the year. The crowd was electric.”

• Georgia’s defense held the Vols to 313 yards — just 235 after Tennessee’s opening drive — which was well below the Vols’ average of 471.6 coming into the game. The Bulldogs also held UT well below its scoring average of 37.6 points per game.

• Georgia’s defense sacked quarterback Nico Iamaleava five times, with linebacker Chaz Chambliss getting two and linebackers Jalon Walker, Smael Mondon, Jr. and Damon Wilson II getting one each.

• With the victory, the 2024 senior class is an FBS-leading 50-4 which ties the school mark set by the 2023 Bulldog seniors who finished with a 50-4 record over their four seasons.

• The Bulldogs’ TD drives covered 75, 84, 87 and a season-long 92 yards • Sophomore Monroe Freeling made his first career start at left tackle, joining left guard Dylan Fairchild, center Jared Wilson, right guard Tate Ratledge and right tackle Xavier Truss on the offensive line. Fairchild and Truss are the only Bulldog linemen to start every game this season.

• Georgia’s captains were wide receiver Dominic Lovett, offensive lineman Tate Ratledge, linebacker CJ Allen and linebacker Chaz Chambliss. Tennessee won the toss and deferred to the second half.

Tight end Ben Yurosek led the Bulldogs with five receptions.

No. 10 Georgia 59, UMass 21

Nov. 23, 2024 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens ATHENS, Ga. — The No. 10-ranked Georgia football team extended its school-record home winning streak to 30 games on Saturday with a 59-21 victory over UMass in front of a sellout crowd of 93,033 at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on SEC Network.

The Bulldogs celebrated Senior Day on Dooley Field prior to kickoff, and with the win the 2024 senior class became the most successful in program history with its 51st victory.

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck threw four touchdown passes and 297 yards. Running back Nate Frazier finished with career-highs in yards (136), touchdowns (3) and carries (21). Georgia ended up with 550 yards of offense to the Minutemen’s 351.

On their first drive, the Minutemen got a 38-yard run from quarterback Ahmad Haston and CJ Hester later scored on a 1-yard run for a 7-0 lead. Georgia soon tied the game on tight end Oscar Delp’s a 17-yard touchdown catch. Georgia’s next drive featured a 49-yard completion from Beck to Arian Smith — plus a 15-yard penalty on UMass for roughing the passer. Later, on fourth-and-4 at the 8, Beck hit Cash Jones out of the backfield for an easy touchdown and a 14-7 lead.

The Bulldog offense was soon back on the field after defensive back KJ Bolden forced a fumble and linebacker Raylen Wilson recovered it at the UMass 28. A few plays later, senior wideout Dominic Lovett hauled in a 15-yard touchdown pass in the left corner of the end zone.

On their next drive, the Minutemen converted a pair of fourth-down plays and Jalen John capped a 14-play drive with a 3-yard touchdown run, cutting the UGA lead to 21-14 with 1:55 left in the half.

Beck led the Bulldogs on a quick scoring drive before halftime. Beck ran for 10 on one play, completed a 20-yard pass to wideout Cole Speer on another, and found Smith for a 34-yard touchdown down the middle with 43 seconds left for a 28-14 lead at halftime.

Georgia got a 53-yard Peyton Woodring field goal to start the third quarter, extending the lead to 31-14. UMass only needed two plays to answer with a touchdown. Quarterback AJ Hairston hit wideout Jakobie James-Keeney for a 75-yard score to cut Georgia’s lead to 31-21.

Frazier did much of the work on Georgia’s next drive, including scoring on a 9-yard run to push the Bulldog lead to 38-21. Despite fumbling twice on its next drive, Georgia was able to go ahead 45-21 on a 15-yard touchdown run by Frazier.

Frazier added a third touchdown, this one a 2-yarder, to make it 52-21 with 6:33 remaining. After linebacker Gabe Harris’ sack and strip of the quarterback, linebacker Chris Cole returned the fumble 28 yards for the first defensive touchdown of the season for the Bulldogs.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“We were able to run the ball. When you can run the ball efficiently and you can throw and convert third downs, you’re going to be really good — and we were able to run the ball and control the line of scrimmage.”

No. 7 Georgia 44, Georgia Tech 42 (8OT) Nov. 29, 2024 • Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium • Athens

ATHENS, Ga. — In a game that almost wouldn’t end, the No. 7-ranked Georgia football team rallied from 14 down in the fourth quarter and prevailed in the eighth overtime against Georgia Tech, 44-42, on Friday night in front of a sellout crowd of 93,033 at Sanford Stadium and a national audience on ABC. Georgia trailed 17-0 at halftime and was behind 27-13 with 5:37 to play. Then came the rally. With 1:01 remaining, the Bulldogs drew even on Carson Beck’s second touchdown pass to Dominic Lovett in the closing minutes. And in overtime, the teams traded scores and failed attempts until Georgia’s defense stopped Tech and then Nate Frazier ran the ball in from the 3 for the win in the eighth extra period.

Tech went ahead 3-0 in the first quarter on a 31-yard Aidan Birr field goal. Birr later missed a 25-yarder when the ball hit the left upright and bounced away. The Yellow Jackets went up 10-0 on a 2-yard run by quarterback Haynes King. Tech made it 17-0 just before halftime on a 4-yard touchdown pass.

The Bulldogs got on the scoreboard with a 2-yard TD pass to tight end Oscar Delp. Georgia went for the two-point conversion but came up empty, making it 17-6 with 9:53 left in the third.

Georgia Tech then went on an 18-play drive that lasted more than 10 minutes and ended with a 23-yard field goal with 14:17 to go. The Bulldogs answered with a 1-yard Frazier touchdown run, making it 20-13. Tech went up 27-13 with 5:37 remaining after King ran 11 yards for a touchdown. Georgia quickly followed that with a 17-yard touchdown pass from Beck to Lovett with 3:39 leftg.

Georgia’s defense gave the Bulldogs a chance. King was stripped by safety Dan Jackson and linebacker Chaz Chambliss recovered at the Tech 32 with 2:02 to play. The Bulldogs tied the game 27-27 with 1:01 remaining on Beck’s 3-yard touchdown pass to the right side to Lovett.

In overtime, Georgia got the ball first and struck first, scoring on a 14-yard touchdown pass to wideout London Humphreys. Tech answered to force a second overtime, scoring on a 12-yard touchdown pass.

Tech got the ball first to start the second overtime and scored on King’s 1-yard rush. On the mandatory two-point attempt in the second OT, Georgia’s Smael Mondon Jr. broke up King’s pass attempt. The Bulldogs tied the game on the first play of their possession, a 25-yard touchdown from Beck to Cash Jones. Georgia’s two-try also came up empty.

Neither team could find the end zone in the third or fourth overtimes. In the fifth, Beck hit wideout Dillon Bell for the score, and Tech followed with a King scoring pass to Malik Rutherford. Both teams then came up empty in overtimes six and seven.

In the eighth OT, linebacker CJ Allen’s pressure forced a Tech incomplete pass, and again Georgia was just one play away. On the Bulldogs’ attempt, Frazier scooted through the middle for the victory.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“Those guys played really hard tonight. They had a good game plan. They played well enough to win. I’m talking about Georgia Tech. But our guys found a way to win. And at the end of the day, that’s what this is all about.”

No. 7 Georgia 22, No. 2 Texas 19 (OT) Dec. 7, 2024 • Mercedes-Benz Stadium • Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. — In first SEC Championship Game to go to overtime in the event’s 33-year history, No. 7 Georgia edged No. 2 Texas, 22-19, on Trevor Etienne’s 4-yard touchdown run, earning the Bulldogs the 15th conference title in program history in front of a crowd of 74,916 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and a national audience on ABC. The Bulldogs had to turn to backup quarterback Gunner Stockton in the second half after starter Carson Beck was injured on the final play of the first. Stockton, a redshirt sophomore who had appeared in three games all season, answered the call on his first drive, leading Georgia to a touchdown and the lead.

In overtime, after Stockton lost his helmet on a run inside the 5-yard line, it was Beck who returned to the game and handed the ball off to Etienne on first-andgoal at the 4.

After missing three games with an injury, Etienne finished with 94 yards and two touchdowns rushing and five catches for 28 yards. Stockton was 12 of 16 passing for 71 yards, while Georgia’s defense racked up 15 tackles for loss and cornerback Daylen Everette, the game’s Most Valuable Player, had two interceptions.

Texas scored the only points of the first quarter, going ahead 3-0 on a 41-yard Bert Auburn field goal. The Longhorns later went up 6-0 with 10:22 left in the half on Auburn’s 42-yard kick. Auburn missed two field goals later in the game that proved pivotal. Georgia’s offense eventually going and with 6:41 left in the half, the Bulldogs cut Texas’ lead to 6-3 with a 44-yard Peyton Woodring field goal.

On the final play of the half, Beck fumbled on a sack and suffered an elbow injury. Stockton started the second half and efficiently drove the Bulldogs down the field for their first touchdown. Three plays before Etienne ran the ball in for a 10-yard touchdown that put Georgia ahead 10-6, Stockton hit tight end Lawson Luckie on the run for a 19-yard gain. The play after that, Stockton ran 9 yards down to the 10. Late in the third, Etienne took off for a 48-yard gain to the Texas 19. The Bulldogs couldn’t get back into the end zone, but Woodring booted a 24-yard field goal to put Georgia ahead 13-6.

Early in the fourth, Texas tied the game on a 41-yard touchdown pass from Quinn Ewers to DeAndre Moore Jr. The Longhorns forced what looked like a quick three-and-out on Georgia’s next drive, but then the Bulldogs pulled off a successful fake with wideout Arian Smith catching a tap pass and running 9 yards for the first down on fourth-and-5. The drive ended with a 21-yard Woodring field goal to put the Bulldogs in front 16-13.

Texas picked off a Stockton pass with 2:30 remaining and eventually tied the game on Auburn’s 37-yard field goal with 18 seconds left. Soon after, the teams were headed for overtime. Georgia’s defense held Texas to a 32-yard field goal to begin the first overtime period, giving the Bulldogs a shot at the win with a touchdown.

A 4-yard completion to Delp on third-and-4 gave Georgia first down at the 14.

Two plays later, Stockton ran the ball inside the 5 for a first-and-goal at the 4. With Stockton shaken up on the play, Beck returned and handed it off to Etienne for the SEC title-winning score.

Coach Kirby Smart said…

“To me, Trevor Etienne, no respect to Daylen (Everette), I love Daylen, he had a big game and got the MVP — Trevor Etienne was the MVP. He came and said, ‘Coach, I want to play this game. I came to this school because I want to win a championship.’”

That’s what Georgia got when it hired former Georgia player Kirby Smart to head the program in December of 2015.

His impact, along with a stellar coaching staff, players, and a passionate fan base has put Georgia on the national stage nine years running. The ‘Dogs boast a 57-4 record in the last 61 games and their 28 consecutive bowl game appearances is best in the nation. Georgia’s 2024 senior class has an FBS-leading and school-record 53-4 record.

2023 - The Bulldogs completed an undefeated regular season, SEC Eastern Division title, and 13-1 overall record after defeating FSU, 63-3, in the 2023 Orange Bowl.

2021 - His 2021 team became UGA’s first national champion since 1980, the first since 1982 to go undefeated in the SEC regular season, a No. 1 national ranking by all the major polls and the first ever to win 14 games.

The team set 21 school records, highlighted by the nation’s topranked defense. The third-ranked Bulldogs defeated #2 Michigan, 34-11, in the Orange Bowl in Miami and then No. 1 Alabama, 33-18, in the championship game in Indianapolis. The senior class also set the mark for most career wins by going 45-8. After the regular season, Smart was named SEC Coach of the Year for the second time in five years. Georgia’s championship season enjoyed a fitting exclamation mark at the 2022 NFL Draft. The Bulldogs set a Draft record with 15 players taken, including five defenders in the first round, led by the first overall

selection, junior Travon Walker.

2020 - The 2020 Bulldogs became Smart’s fourth consecutive team to earn a New Year’s Six bowl game appearance. With a Peach Bowl victory over undefeated Cincinnati on Jan. 1, 2021, the Bulldog seniors tied the record for the most wins by one class in school history (44).

2017 - Smart’s second season in 2017 was a special one, with an 11-1 regular-season record, an SEC title, a win over Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl Game (CFP semifinal) and advancement into the CFP National Championship Game. It was the first confer-

When Smart officially came home to Georgia on Dec. 6, 2015, he had unfinished business as defensive coordinator at Alabama, which was still chasing a national title. He juggled both jobs for a month until Jan. 11, 2016, when the Crimson Tide won its fourth national championship in a 7-year span. Twelve hours later, he was at work in Athens, where he remains one of 15 head coaches at schools from Power 5 conferences that are coaching at their alma maters.

Smart had served on the Alabama staff the previous nine years, seven as defensive coordinator. During his tenure at Alabama, the Crimson Tide won three BCS National Championships, one CFP national title, three SEC crowns, six SEC Western Division titles, and was ranked in the nation’s final top 10 the last eight years in a row.

During Smart’s time at Alabama, he coached players at three different positions, in addition to his coordinating duties. He was recognized as the 2012 AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year and the 2009 Broyles Award winner as college football’s top assistant. He also was a finalist for the award in 2015.

Prior to joining the Alabama staff in 2007, Smart spent the 2006 season as safeties coach with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. He served six years at the collegiate level as the running backs coach at Georgia (2005), defensive backs coach at LSU (2004), graduate assistant at Florida State (2002-03), defensive coordinator/ linebackers coach (2001) and defensive backs coach (2000) at Valdosta State, and administrative assistant at Georgia (1999).

Smart was the running backs coach for Georgia’s 2005 SEC Championship team. He coached Thomas Brown, Danny Ware and Kregg Lumpkin — all future NFL players. In 2004 at LSU, he tutored two NFL draft picks: Corey Webster (2nd round, New York Giants) and Travis Daniels (4th round, Miami).

Smart was a first-team All-SEC choice as a senior in 1998, when he led the league with five interceptions. Smart had six interceptions in his junior season of 1997.

en’s basketball team from 2000-03. The couple met long after their undergraduate days at Georgia, when Lycett — then working in the UGA Athletic Association Business Office — helped arrange Smart’s trip to interview for the Bulldogs’ running backs coaching job in 2005. They are the proud parents of twins Weston and Julia (born Feb. 8, 2008) and son Andrew (born May 25, 2012).

Kirby and Mary Beth Smart also oversee the Kirby Smart Family Foundation, which is focused on being champions in the community by supporting needy children and families facing adversity.

As a Player

Smart was a four-year letterman at defensive back for Georgia, where he was a First-Team All-SEC pick as a senior. He finished his career with 13 interceptions, a mark that still ranks sixth in UGA annals, and paced the Bulldogs with six interceptions in 1997 and five in 1998. He led the SEC in interceptions during his final season.

A four-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll, Smart received his bachelor’s degree in Finance from Georgia in 1998 and his master’s in Physical Education from Florida State in 2003.

Mike Bobo John & Alice Sands Offensive Coordinator / Quarterbacks A Georgia native who played quarterback for the Bulldogs from 1994-97 and was an on-field coach for the program for 14 seasons, Mike Bobo was named a Quality Control analyst with the Bulldog offense on Jan. 28, 2022. He was promoted to Offensive Coordinator in February, 2023.

His 2023 offense was instrumental in the Bulldogs’ undefeated regular season, SEC Eastern Division title and 13-1 overall record highlighted by a 63-3 win over No. 5 Florida State in the 2023 Capital One Orange Bowl. The Georgia offense ranked 2nd in the SEC and 5th nationally in Total Offense (496.5 ypg) and Scoring Offense (40.1 ppg) and 2nd in the SEC and 11th nationally in Passing Offense (305.3 ypg), helping him earn a second Broyles Award finalist accolade (2012).

Sinkwich Leads Bulldogs Past TCU In 1942 Orange Bowl

Georgia All-American quarterback Frankie Sinkwich, playing with an oversized chin mask to protect a broken jaw, put on an offensive display still considered by many as the greatest in any bowl game as he led his Bulldogs to a 40-26 win over Texas Christian before 35,786 fans in the 1942 Orange Bowl game (a record crowd in ’42).

Sinkwich passed for touchdowns of 61, 60 and 15 yards and raced 43 yards on a QB draw for another score. He completed nine of 13 passes for 243 yards and rushed for 139 yards for a total offensive gain of 382 yards.

Georgia scored first as Ken Keuper rushed two yards over the goal line to give the Dogs the early 6-0 lead. TCU tied the game less than four minutes later after a Lamar Davis fumble led to a Horned Frog score from the four yard line. TCU kicked the point after and led 7-6. Georgia answered soon after the score on a 60-yard pass play from Sinkwich to Melvin Conger, giving the Bulldogs a 12-7 lead they would never relinquish.

When the Dogs left the field at halftime the score stood 33-7, prompting head coach Wally Butts to proclaim it the greatest offensive performance he ever saw by a UGA team. He also believed the Georgia squad, at the end of the 1941 season, was the most powerful he coached.

The lead was 40-7 in the third quarter before TCU mounted a late three-touchdown effort. Bruce Alford caught two passes for scores from Emory Nix and Frink Kring scored on a 53-yard play from Kyle Gillespie for the 40-26 final.

The 1942 Orange Bowl was played less than a month after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and was a record-setting event. Sinkwich set five individual Orange Bowl records in the win for combined rushing and passing yards (382), touchdown passes (3), points scored (24), yards gained on touchdown pass plays (136) and yards gained on all touchdown plays (179). Georgia’s four touchdown passes set a bowl team record, as well as the Dogs’ four interceptions. The combined seven touchdowns for Georgia and TCU also set a new Orange Bowl mark.

With All-American Frankie Sinkwich hobbling on two s­ prained ankles, his young sophomore understudy — Charley Trippi — paced Georgia to a 9-0 victory over UCLA before 90,000 in the 1943 Rose Bowl at Pasadena.

Trippi rushed 27 times for a net gain of 115 yards and received the Helms Award as the game’s outstanding player.

Recently the Rose Bowl named its all-time first team and put Trippi at left halfback.

Tackle Red Boyd blocked a Bob Waterfield punt which rolled out of the end zone for a safety to give Georgia two points in the last quarter.

A few minutes later center Clyde Ehrhardt inter­cepted a Waterfield pass and returned to the UCLA 25. Sinkwich finally scored from the one and Leo Costa converted.

Trippi’s Immortal Punt Return Helps Defeat Tulsa In 1945 Oil Bowl

Trippi Closes Great Career In ‘47 Sugar Bowl Playing Entire 60 Minutes

Charley Trippi was at his best as Georgia defeated Tulsa, 20-6, in the Oil Bowl at Houston before 27,000 on Jan. 1, 1946.

He passed 64 yards to John Donaldson for Georgia’s second TD and returned a punt 68 yards for the final Bulldog tally in the fourth quarter — a run still considered by many as the greatest punt return of all time. He completely reversed his field and ran over two Tulsa tacklers who had him trapped near a sideline.

Charley Trippi accepts National Pro Football Hall of Fame trophy.

Georgia 14 178 110 15-5-1 4/3 7 (36.0) 4-29

On a chilly and rainy day in New Orleans, Georgia battled back from two deficits to knock off North Carolina, 20-10, in front of 75,000 in the 13th renewal of the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 1947.

Charley Trippi led the way for the Bulldogs, playing all 60 minutes in his last game wearing the red and black. His 67-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to Dan Edwards gave the Dogs a 13-10 lead that the club would not relinquish.

The win was Georgia’s 16th consecutive victory and gave the Bulldogs a perfect season (11-0) for just the second time in school history.

The scoring started when North Carolina’s Walt Pupa ran 25 yards in the second quarter for the first lead of the game. Kicker Bob Cox added the extra point for a 7-0 lead.

Georgia was held scoreless into halftime, but Johnny Rauch plunged into the endzone from one yard out in the third quarter and was followed

by George Jernigan’s extra point for a 7-7 tie.

Cox gave the Tar Heels the lead later in the third quarter with an 18yard field goal, but the play of the Dan Edwards day, Trippi’s 67-yarder to Edwards, answered the Tar Heel score and Georgia never looked back.

Rauch, Geri Shine In 1948 Gator Bowl

Rauch Spectacular In 1949 Orange Bowl

Georgia’s All-America quarterback Johnny Rauch had one of the best days of his career in Jacksonville, completing 12 of 17 passes for 183 yards. Captain Dan Edwards caught five passes and Joe Geri averaged 43.5 yards on seven punts.

The game remained scoreless after one quarter of play, but Maryland’s Lu Gambino ran 35 yards for the first score of the game. The Terps held that 7-0 lead into halftime.

Joe Geri Georgia took the opening drive of the second half 87 yards, capped by Rauch’s 1-yards plunge into the endzone. Maryland answered with an 80-yard drive of its own and took the lead again on Gambino’s second TD of the day. Later in the third, Georgia drove to its own 40 yard line but fumbled away possession. Three plays later the Terps were leading 20-7.

The fourth quarter was all Georgia, as the Bulldogs scored once on a Geri four-yard run and again on a nine-yard pass from Rauch to John Donaldson. The extra point was no good after Geri’s TD and time ran out on a tied ball game with Georgia knocking on the door for another score.

Johnny Rauch, who directed Georgia to four straight bowl games, stood out in defeat as the Bulldogs finally lost their first post-season game, 41-28, to Texas in the 1949 Orange Bowl at Miami before a then-record crowd of 60,523. Rauch completed 11 of 17 passes for 161 yards.

Georgia lost its seventh visit to a post-season affair, 40-20, to Texas A&M in the first and only Presidential Cup game at College Park, Md., before 12,245 fans on Dec. 9, 1950.

Georgia's Zippy Morocco, who later was to set the all-time SEC basketball scoring record, scored two touchdowns on brilliant runs, the first coming on a 65-yard punt return and the other a 23-yard rush.

A&M jumped out early and never looked back, scoring 40 unanswered points through three quarters of play. Before two minutes had been played in the opening quarter, the score was 13-0 after Bob Smith took the opening kickoff 100 yards and Glenn Lippman scored from five yards out after a Bulldog fumble. Another 81-yard TD rush by Smith in the first quarter buried the Bulldogs.

Morocco scored on a two-yard run in the third and a 65-yard punt return in the fourth to get the Dogs on the board. Lauren Hargrove added the last score of the day on a one-yard rush to make the final 40-20.

The 7-0 conquest of Texas Tech in the Sun Bowl at El Paso Dec. 26, 1964, before 28,500 may have been the Bulldogs’ best game of a glorious ‘‘Cinderella’’ season.

The defense held the Red Raiders’ vaunted offense, which led the Southwest Conference with almost 300 yards per game, to only 128 yards (32 rushing and 96 passing). And, the offensive troops rolled up 329 yards (245 rushing and 84 passing), their second best performance of the season.

Preston Ridlehuber had by far the most productive day of his Georgia varsity career and clearly deserved the trophy awarded him as the game’s outstanding performer. Preston ran 19 times for 87 yards, completed 4x5 passes for 77 yards, giving him a total of 164 yards.

Late in the first quarter Tarkenton anticipated a quick kick to set up the first score. He returned it 17 yards to the M 38. On third down and nine he passed to Fred Brown for 12 to the M 25. On third and 14, he fired to Bill McKenny, rookie RHB from Jacksonville, for 29 yards and the TD, Durward Pennington’s PAT made it 7-0.

Kent Lawrence established a Bulldog bowlgame rushing record vs. the Mustangs. His 149 yards in 16 carries erased the old Georgia bowl-game mark of 139 yards in 22 rushes

by Frank Sinkwich vs. TCU in the 1942 Orange Bowl.

Lawrence’s 74-yard TD rush on the game’s third play also was the longest scoring play in Bulldog bowl annals. He was voted the game’s outstanding player.

Bob Etter’s 28-yard FG put Georgia out front 10-3 at the quarter. Steve Neuhaus set up another score with an interception at the SMU 33. Kirby Moore hit Billy Payne on a 20-yard scoring pass and Etter made it 17-3.

There was only one score in the last half. The Bulldogs drove 59 yards to goal early in the fourth quarter with Ronnie Jenkins carrying nine of the 12 rushes. Jenkins scored from the one. Etter made it 24-9.

A record Liberty Bowl crowd of 35,045 at Memphis Dec. 16, 1967, saw N.C. State, led by former Bulldog head coach Jim Donnan, trim Georgia, 14-7.

The Wolfpack cashed in their scoring opportuni­ties, drawing first blood in the second quarter on a 65-yard drive—aided by a timely 15-yard penalty —that saw Donnan pass 6 yards to Martell for a TD. Warren’s PAT made it 7-0.

Georgia retaliated with a fine 68-yard scoring drive, Lawrence starting things off with a 42-yard kickoff return. Kirby Moore hit on four passes, three to Dennis Hughes and one to Billy Payne. Ronnie Jenkins scored from the one and Jim McCullough’s PAT ­knotted the count at 7-7 midway the second quarter.

State went ahead early in the fourth quarter, driving 73 yards with Barchuk scoring from the one. Warren’s PAT was good.

Georgia again fought back and mounted a great 98-yard drive that ended with Lawrence failing to score by inches after taking a pitchout from Moore at the N.C. State 3 and sprinting to the 1. Lawrence was voted the game’s most valuable offensive back, while Edgar Chandler was the most valuable offensive lineman.

Georgia Upset by Arkansas Razorbacks In 1969 Sugar Bowl

A huge Sugar Bowl crowd of 82,113 saw Arkansas, champion of the Southwest Conference, upset Georgia, champion of the Southeastern Conference, 16-2, on Jan. 1, 1969.

The Bulldogs had the ball six times in the first quarter but lost possession three times on fumbles and once on a pass interception. But the Georgia defense played well and the quarter ended scoreless.

The Razorbacks moved 65 yards for a TD early in the second quarter, scoring on a 27-yard pass, Montgomery-Dicus. White’s PAT made it 7-0.

Midway the second quarter David McKnight tossed Burnett for a six-yard loss and a safety to make it 7-2, but a Bulldog fumble a few plays later gave Arkansas position for a 34-yard field goal by White which made it 10-2 at halftime.

Georgia ‘‘blew’’ a good chance early in the third quarter after recovering an Arkansas fumble on the kickoff. Brad Johnson fum­bled on the goal line on third down, and the ball went out of the end zone.

A fumble and pass interception in the fourth quarter put Arkansas in position for two more field goals by White (24 and 31 yards)­.

Nebraska turned out to be every bit as good as advertised. ‘‘They were the best team we played all season,’’ said Captain Steve Greer following the Cornhuskers’ 45-6 victory before a sun-baked Sun Bowl crowd of 31,176 in El Paso Dec. 20.

The Cornhuskers took advantage of a strong wind to kick four field goals in the exceptionally-long first quarter (scoreboard clock broke and officials admitted afterwards that the first quarter was too long).

Trailing 18-0 after the first quarter, Georgia fought back to hold the big and fast Big Eight co-champions scoreless in the second quarter. But the Nebraskans took advantage of six pass interceptions and two fumble recoveries to run up the score, 14 points in the third quarter and 13 in the fourth.

Paul Gilbert directed Georgia’s lone TD in the fourth quarter. He completed passes of 16 yards to Charley Whittemore, 11 to Dennis Hughes, then scored himself from the six. Jim McCullough’s PAT kick was wide.

Poulos Superb in 1971 Gator Bowl

Tough Terps Trimmed in 1973 Peach Bowl

Georgia played perhaps its finest defensive game of the season to beat North Carolina 7-3 in the Gator Bowl, Dec. 31, 1971, before 71,208.

The Bulldogs held the Tar Heels to only 181 yards total offense (115 rushing and 66 passing).

Dennis Watson was the defensive hero, making tackles time and time again.

He made three straight tackles during one stretch.

Offensively, the Bulldogs gained a lot of ground (322 yards) but were sporadic, particularly in the first half.

But, following the Tar Heels’ lone scoring drive of the game which resulted in a 35-yard FG by Craven, the Bulldogs finally mounted a beautiful 80-yard march that s­ ettled the issue.

The scintillating sophomores, Jimmy Poulos and Andy Johnson, ran the ball from Georgia’s 20 to the G 43. Then Johnson hit split end Lynn Hunnicutt on a great 32-yard play to the NC 25. On the next snap, Poulos broke around left end down the sidelines to score, side-stepping the safety. Braswell made it 7-3.

The nation’s TV audience once again was thrilled by the exploits of Poulos, the Greek Streak, who set a Georgia bowl rushing record in the Gator Bowl.

He netted 161 yards on 20 carries to better the old Bulldog bowl mark of 149 yards on 16 rushes by Kent Lawrence against SMU in the 1966 Cotton Bowl.

Hats off to the Bulldogs for their thrilling 17-16 triumph over the Terrapins in the 1973 Peach Bowl Dec. 28 before 38,017 in Atlanta Fulton County Stadium.

Early in the second quarter, thanks to runs by Horace King and Andy Johnson, Georgia reached the Maryland 17 but was stopped. Johnson hit Jimmy Poulos on a screen and the Greek Streak went 62 yards for a score in one of the finest runs ever made by a Georgia back. Two plays later Maryland’s Carter and White hooked up on a 68-yard haymaker and Mick-Mayer’s PAT tied it 7-7.

Later Mike-Mayer put Maryland out front 10-7 on a 36-yard FG. Then the Bulldogs roared back with one of their best drives of the season. Captain Bobby Burns ripped up the middle for 21. Johnson hit King for 30, then ran 12 after faking a pass to the UM 9. With the clock running out, the Bulldogs had to settle for a 26-yard FG by Leavitt to make it 10-10 at halftime.

Tremendous defensive play set up Georgia’s go-ahead TD late in the third quarter. Following Golden’s 43-yard punt to Smith, tackled in his tracks at the UM 11 by Glynn Harrison, Sylvester Boler smashed through and hit QB Kinard as he was pitching out to Jennings. The hit caused a fumble that was recovered by Dick Conn at the Maryland 8 yard line. On third down, Johnson scored from the one and Leavitt made it 17-10.

Dogs Fall To Miami 21-10 in 1974 Tangerine Bowl

Cinderella Dogs Bow to Hogs in 1976 Cotton Bowl

Miami of Ohio won its 23rd in a row with a 21-10 vicotry over Georgia in the Tangerine Bowl before 20,246 at Orlando, on Dec. 21, 1974.

It might have been a close game had not the Bulldogs given Miami two easy scoring chances with fumbles at their own 25 (first play from scrimmage) and 22. The Redskins cashed both oppor­tunities, and in between, marched 68 yards to goal, QB Smith passing seven yards to E. Taylor for the TD. After trailing 7-0, Georgia did make a good drive, first down at the UM 9, the big gainer being a 43-yard pass, Robinson to Appleby.

But the vaunted Miami defense held and Allan Leavitt kicked at 21-yard FG. Georgia came back strong in the second half and won it, 7-0. The defense played considerably better.

Midway through, the third quarter Butch Box, covering a Bucky Dilts punt, recovered a fumble at the Miami 41. Glynn Harrison immediately broke loose for 28 yards to the UM 13. Five plays later Ray Goff plunged over from the one and Leavitt made it 21-10.

Georgia outgained Miami in total offense, 274 to 242. Georgia had only 74 yards rushing but 200 passing. Miami had 228 rushing, 14 passing.

The big clock in the Cotton Bowl showed 1:49 left in the first half with Georgia leading Arkansas, 10-0.

Not a soul there or any one of the millions watching CBS-TV had any idea then that the Bulldogs, who had played almost a perfect game for nearly a half, would suffer one tough blow after and finally succumb, 31-10 on Jan. 1, 1976.

Georgia amazed the crowd of 74,500 by taking the opening kickoff and ramming the ball all the way to the A4. But the Razorbacks held and Georgia had to settle for a 35-yard FG by Allan Leavitt.

In the second quarter Matt Robinson connected with Gene Washington on a nifty 21-yard scoring play and Georgia led 10-0.

But two Georgia fumbles in the last two minutes of the first half resulted in an Arkansas FG (Little, 39 yards) and TD (Forte, 1-yd. rush).

It was a scoreless third quarter but the Hogs tallied three times in the final period.

#1 Pittsburgh Tops Dogs In ’77 Sugar Bowl Armed with a number four national ranking and the distinction of being first team to represent the con­ference in the SEC’s ‘‘marriage’’ with the Sugar Bowl, Georgia’s dreams of a national title were convincingly shattered by top-ranked Pittsburgh, 27-3, in the Sugar Bowl shootout for the national championship.

With a Sugar Bowl record crowd for the Superdome of 76, 117 fans looking on, Pittsburgh made believers of the whole nation in justifying their top national billing.

Junior quarterback Matt Cavanaugh and heralded Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett supplied most of the offensive fireworks for the Panthers in building a 21-0 halftime lead. Cavanaugh directed his team 80 yards in the first quarter for Pitt’s initial score, covering the last six yards himself on a keeper. In the second quarter, the Pittsburgh junior unveiled a brilliant passing game to account for another Pittsburgh score by hitting FLK Matt Jones for a 59-yard scoring strike. Dorsett added the Panthers’ third TD of the day on an 11-yard burst to make the halftime tally 21-0.

The Bulldog offense, which had been stymied all day by the swarming Pittsburgh defense, finally was able to put something on the scoreboard in the third quarter. On Pitt's first possession of the sec­ond half, fullback Elliott Walker was separated from the ball on the Panthers’ own 26-yard line, where defensive end Lawrence Craft fell on it for the Bulldogs. But several plays later, Georgia found themselves faced with fourth and goal on the seven and had to settle for Allan Leavitt’s 25-yard field goal for their only score of the day.

Pitt’s Carson Long added field goals of 42 and 31 yards as the Panthers claimed the 1976 national championship.

Georgia’s Wonderdogs outgained Stanford 504 yards to 338, but lost the game 25-22 before 34,084 fans in the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston on December 31, 1978.

Fumbles and penalties, missed PAT’s and FG’s and precision passing by All-American QB Steve Dils, enables the Cardinal to overcome a 22-0 deficit in the second half.

The Bulldogs played their best game of the season in running up an early advantage to the 22-0. They scored on their second possession in the first quarter, Rex Robinson kicking a 31-yd FG. On their third possession, Georgia’s Buck Belue passed to flanker Carmon Prince 22 yards for a TD, but Robinson missed on the PAT to make Georgia a 9-0 leader.

As the half closed, Jeff Pyburn directed an 80-yard drive in seven plays as he spotted Prince for an eight-yard strike. Robinson was wide again on the PAT and Georgia led 15-0.

Georgia drove 75 yards to goal after the second half kick-off and took only six plays as Pyburn dove in from the one, making the score 22-0.

Two Bulldog fumbles accounted for Stanford’s first pair of touchdowns, and their third tally came on a 14-yard pass from Dils to Ken Margerum.

The two-point conversion was good, knotting the score at 22. The Cardinal recovered another Georgia fumble to set up their go-ahead field goal of 24 yards. Georgia came back strong, driving to the Stanford 14, but Robinson missed on a 31-yard attempt.

Georgia Whips Irish For 1981 Sugar Bowl Win And The National Championship Determined to silence the critics who claimed that Georgia had been lucky in streaking to a perfect 11-0 regular season slate, the Bulldogs journeyed to New Orleans, No. 1 ranking in hand, and defeated Notre Dame, 17-10, in the 1981 Sugar Bowl to claim the national championship.

Played before a record Sugar Bowl crowd of 77,895 in the Louisiana Superdome, the game was one where Georgia capitalized on early Irish mistakes to take a 17-3 lead at halftime.

Notre Dame took the ball on the first possession of the contest from its own 20 all the way to the UGA 32 where kicker Harry Oliver booted a 50-yard field goal to give the Irish a 3-0 lead with 10:41 to go in the opening quarter.

Oliver tried another field goal moments later from the 48, but this time Bulldog freshman rover Terry Hoage slipped through the line to step in front and block the attempt, giving Georgia the ball at the ND49. Nine plays netted 20 yards and placekicker Rex Robinson was called on for a 46-yard field goal.

The All-American was successful to tie the game at three apiece with less than two minutes remaining in the first period.

On the ensuing kickoff, Georgia capitalized on confusion among two Notre Dame return men, and Bulldog senior Bob Kelly recovered a loose football at the Irish one-yard line. Freshman marvel Herschel Walker, who would go on to gain 150 yards (the first 100-yard per­formance against the Notre Dame defense all season) and win the Miller-Digby MVP Trophy, dived on the second play for the touchdown. Robinson coverted the PAT and Bulldogs were up, 10-3, still in the first quarter.

Erk Russell’s defense, which led the country in takeaways during the season, recovered another Notre Dame fumble early in the s­ econd period as Irish fullback John Sweeney was separated from the ball at the ND22 and Bulldog senior roverback Chris Welton pounced on it.

Walker broke an off tackle play for 12 yards to the ND10. Quarterback Buck Belue swept left for seven more to the Irish three-yard line, setting up a second and goal situation. Belue gave it to Walker and the 6-2, 220-pounder stormed into the endzone for his second score of the game. Robinson added the PAT and Georgia enjoyed a 17-3 lead.

Down 14 points, Notre Dame drove the second time it had the ball in the second half from its own 40-yard line to the G13. On a third down play there, Irish QB Blair Kiel dropped back, threw into the endzone to flanker Pete Holohan, only to watch Georgia’s All-American cornerback Scott Woerner step in at the last minute to bat the pass away. Notre Dame's Oliver came in to kick a 30-yarder, but the ball sailed wide right.

The Irish finally got a touchdown after Georgia punted on the next possession. The passing of Kiel and running of tailback Phil Carter took Notre Dame 57 yards in 11 plays as the drive was climaxed by a one-yard plunge

by Carter for the touchdown. Oliver booted the PAT and the Georgia lead was now 17-10 with :54 seconds of the third quarter showing on the Superdome scoreboard clock.

After Georgia was unable to move the ball, senior Mark Malkiewicz was called in to punt. The boot carried to the Irish 46 and Notre Dame, with momentum mounting, took over. Seven plays later, the Fighting Irish were at the G21 and fourth down staring them in the face. Oliver’s 38-yard field goal attempt went wide to the left this time and the Bulldogs clung to their

seven-point lead.

After two unsuccessful possessions by each team, Notre Dame got the ball one last time with 5:10 to go in the ballgame at the ND43. Carter ran around the end for seven yards to midfield. On second down, 6-1, 265-pound defensive guard Eddie Weaver caught Kiel behind the line for a four-yard loss, setting up a third and seven play. A Kiel-to-Nick Vehr pass got six yards back, making it fourth down, one yard to go.

A running play looked to be forthcoming, but Kiel surprised everyone when he faded back, looking for Dean Masztak, the big tight end, on the side line.

One Bulldog, apparently not surprised by the call, was cornerback Woerner, who stepped up in front of Masztak for the interception (his second of the game) at the G34. Only 2:56 remained.

Runs by Belue and Walker gave the Bulldogs a first down at the G47. Two plays after that, Georgia recorded the biggest first down of the game when Belue hit his very first completion of the day on a seven-yard pass to senior flanker Amp Arnold. Walker got the Bulldogs another first down at the ND 38, where Georgia ran off three plays and watched the clock expire, prompting a sea of UGA fans to engulf the playing field for the national championship celebration.

Pitt Edges Bulldogs 24-20 In 1982 Sugar Bowl Pittsburgh QB Dan Marino hit tight end John Brown on a fourth-down, 33-yard TD pass with just 35 seconds left to give the Panthers a come-frombehind 24-20 win over Georgia in the 1982 Sugar Bowl, dashing the Bulldogs’ hopes for a second straight national championship.

Perhaps the most exciting of the holiday games of '82, the Pitt-Georgia matchup had six lead changes for the 77,224 who were in attendance at the Superdome.

Early in the fourth quarter it was Pittsburgh which capitalized on a Dog fumble at the G23.

Four plays later, QB Marino found John Brown open for a sixyard TD play. The conversion put the Panthers, 17-13 with 11:40 to play in the game.

But the Bulldogs, entering the game ranked No. 2 in the country, weren’t quite through yet. Taking over on the G20, Georgia drove the distance in 10 plays, climaxing the drive with a Buck Belue-to-Clarence Kay TD pass from six yards out. Kevin Butler’s PAT put the lead in Georgia’s favor, 20-17, with 8:31 remaining.

Each team failed on a possession and, with 3:46 left, the Panthers got the ball on the P20. Eleven plays later, they were at the G33, fourth down and five.

Seconds later, TE Brown was in the endzone on the receiving end of Marino’s game-winner.

Penn State Clips Dogs 27-23 In 1983 Sugar Bowl After staking Penn State to a 20-3 second-quarter lead, the Bulldogs staged a great comeback but came up short, 27-23, to the Nittany Lions before 78,124 in the ‘83 Sugar Bowl Classic. The outcome foiled Georgia’s chances for another national championship and a perfect 12-0 season.

Trailing 20-3 with only :39 remaining in the first half, Georgia took over on its 34-yard line.

Lastinger completed four of five pass attempts, the final comple­tion coming on a 10-yard scoring play to Herman Archie. Butler’s PAT cut the deficit to 20-10 at intermission.

The Bulldogs took the second half kickoff and drove 69 yards in 11 plays as Herschel Walker, who netted 103 yards on the day, ran in from a yard out. Penn State’s lead now was only 20-17.

The Nittany Lions took possession late in the third quarter at their 19.

Six plays advanced the football to the G47. From there, Blackledge found his receiver Garrity, who made a diving catch in the endzone for a TD. Gancitano’s PAT increased the PSU lead to 27-17.

Georgia didn’t roll over, however. With 5:38 left to play, the Dogs took the ball at the P43 after a fumbled punt. Six plays later, Lastinger found TE Clarence Kay for a nine-yard TD pass. Only 3:54 remained. The two-point try failed and Georgia trailed 27-23.

Georgia could not prevent the Nittany Lions from getting two first downs and used up its allotted timeouts as Penn State ran out the clock. The game ended with the ball rolling into the Georgia endzone after a 62-yard punt from Ralph Giacomarro.

Georgia Upsets Texas 10-9 In 1984 Cotton Bowl

FSU Rallies To Tie Bulldogs In 1984 Citrus Bowl

Georgia senior QB John Lastinger ran 17 yards for a go-ahead TD with just 3:22 left on the clock to lift the Bulldogs to a 10-9 Cotton Bowl Classic triumph over No. 2 Texas before 67,891 in Dallas on Jan. 2, 1984.

The winning TD had been set up when Bulldog sopho­more Gary Moss recovered a Craig Curry fumbled punt at the Longhorn John Lastinger stretches for the winning TD in the final minutes.

23-yard line. Lastinger called his own number on the third play from scrimmage and darted outside right for the TD. Texas had one more possession, but the Bulldog de­fense rose up recording two sacks (Kenny Sims and Ed Moore) to back the Longhorns up from their 28-yard line all the way to their seven. Georgia took control and ran off the final 2:19 on the clock after converting a fourth down play at the Texas 36.

As expected going into the Cotton Bowl, defense was the key for both teams as there were just 13 first downs and three points each achieved in the first half. Texas grabbed an early 3-0 lead with 10:32 to go in the first quarter when freshman Jeff Ward booted a 22-yard FG. The Bulldogs, after Moss returned a punt 29 yards to the Longhorn 43 late in the quarter, used four plays to move to the Texas 26 where Butler came in and kicked a 43-yarder.

Ward added his second three-pointer on the day with 7:10 to play in the third quarter as he connected on a 40-yard field goal. After a Georgia fumble at the G37, the Longhorns moved 26 yards in eight plays to the G11 where Ward came on and extended the Texas advantage to 9-3 with 3:50 to play in the third quarter.

Georgia placekicker Kevin Butler’s attempt of a 70-yard field goal fell just a foot short as time expired in the '84 Florida Citrus Bowl, enabling favored Florida State to hold off the upstart Bulldogs and earn a 17-17 tie before 51,821 in Orlando on Dec. 22, 1984.

The Bulldogs, who had hoped to use the Citrus Bowl as the start of their 1985 season, stormed out to a 14-0 halftime lead. Florida State battled back to tie the score through the efforts of a talented offense and an aggressive punt rush with under four minutes remaining.

After averaging 35.3 points a game, the Seminoles were held to just 10 points through three quarters until noseguard Lenny Chavers blocked a Chip Andrews punt, which was picked up by teammate Joe Wessel for a Seminole touchdown. Darrin Holloman’s sweep around the left side gave FSU a two-point conversion and knotted the game at 17 late in the fourth quarter. The Dogs tried to repeat the miracle they had staged earlier in the season against rival Clemson in which they drove up field in the closing seconds enabling All-American Kevin Butler to kick a conference record 60-yard FG and secure a Georgia victory. FSU’s defense proved to be a bit stiffer than that of Clemson, and after three incomplete James Jackson passes, Georgia coach Vince Dooley called on Butler once again, but his kick fell just short of the crossbar and the game ended deadlocked at 17.

Although disappointed with a tie, Georgia walked off the field encouraged by the play of their underclassmen. Freshman QB James Jackson saw his first stretch of extensive playing time and responded by earning the game’s Most Valuable Player trophy. The game’s most valuable offensive player was another Georgia freshman, TB Lars Tate, who scored both of Georgia’s TDs. Senior CB Kevin Harris was awarded Defensive Player of the Game, giving the red and black a clean sweep of the awards ceremony.

Dogs, Wildcats Tie 13-13 In 1985 Sun Bowl Game

B.C. Edges Dogs 27-24 In 1986 Hall of Fame

A Sun Bowl crowd of 52,203 saw the Georgia Bulldogs rally for 10 fourth quarter points to pull even with the Arizona Wildcats, 13-13, then watched as both teams miss potential game-winning field goals in the final two minutes to preserve the tie.

Georgia struck first, marching 72 yards in 13 plays to set up a 37-yard FG by Steve Crumley.

Crumley, who had pulled a muscle in his kicking leg before the final game of the regular season, reinjured himself on the kick, however, and was unable to continue.

Arizona responded on the following possession to tie the game, driving to the G1 before an illegal procedure penalty on fourth down forced the Cats to call upon All-American Max Zendejas to tie the score at three from 21 yards.Zendejas added a 52-yarder, and the the Wildcats made it 12-3 when Martin Rudolph picked off QB James Jackson's pass and returned it 35 yards for a TD. Georgia backup kicker Davis Jacobs was true on a 44-yard field to close the gap to 13-6.

With 12:35 to play senior DB Tony Flack recovered RB James Debow’s fumble at the A23 to set up what would be the game’s last score behind Tate on the ground. With 1:14 left, Jacobs missed a 44-yard field goal.

Georgia held Arizona until the Wildcats gambled on fourth-and-two from their own 36, and David Adams rambled for 25 yards on a draw play with DL Henry Williams executing a game-saving tackle at the G39. The Wildcats drove to the 22, called time out, and Zendejas’ 39-yard attempt went wide and Georgia averted a last-second defeat.

Boston College scored a five-yard TD pass with 32 seconds remaining to nip Georgia, 27-24, in the first Hall of Fame Bowl held at Tampa on Dec. 22, 1986, in front of 25,368 in Tampa Stadium.

The last second win spoiled a brilliant comeback from a 13-point halftime deficit by Georgia which actually took the lead, 24-20, with a five-yard TD run

by QB James Jackson with 11:51 left in the game.

The Bulldogs, after scoring first to lead 7-0, watched Boston College score 20 straight points before halftime.

Georgia came out in the third quarter to score 10 points and ­added another seven in the final period to take the lead. B.C. got the ball the final time with 2:38 left and drove to the Georgia 27 when an incomplete fourth-and-two pass appeared to have iced the game for the Dogs. But a pass interference penalty gave the Eagles new life and three plays later, they scored on a five-yard TD toss.

Kasay Kick Defeats Arkansas In 1987 Liberty Bowl

Freshman placekicker John Kasay booted a 39-yard field goal with no time left to give Georgia a 20-17 come-from-behind victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks before 53,249 fans at Liberty Bowl Stadium in Memphis, Tenn., on Dec 29, 1987. The victory provided Georgia with its first nine-win season since 1983 and the first victory over Arkansas after two previous attempts.

Bulldog QB James Jackson was the Georgia most valuable offensive player after rushing for 72 yards and completing 15 of 25 passes for 148 yards. Bulldog LB John Brantley was the Georgia most valuable

defensive player.

Kasay’s game-winning kick was set up when Georgia cornerback Carver Russaw intercepted an Arkansas pass and ran it back to the Razorback 43-yard line with 46 seconds to play. Arkansas had missed a 35-yard field goal with 1:42 left which would have given them the lead. The Bulldogs ran three plays to set up Kasay’s, kick the big one being a Jackson-to -Sadowski pass for 16 yards to put the Dogs in field goal range.

Georgia had trailed at halftime, 10-7, and Arkansas took the second half kickoff and drove for a touchdown to take a 17-7 lead with 11:35 left in the third period. But the fourth quarter belonged to Georgia.

Kasay kicked a 24-yard FG with 14:57 left to cut the lead to 17-10, and James Jackson scored on a five-yard run to tie the score at 17.

Largely discarding their trademark rushing attack, Vince Dooley’s Bulldogs took to the air in the 44th Mazda Gator Bowl en route to a 34-27 victory over the Michigan State in front of 76,236 fans in Jacksonville, Fla., on Jan. 1, 1989.

Georgia not only secured its second straight 9-win season but handed Dooley the 201st, and final, win of his illustrious 25year coaching career. QB Wayne Johnson, who was named Georgia’s MVP for the game, had a career-high 227 yards and three touchdowns. Two of Johnson’s three TD strikes went to tailback Rodney Hampton, who also carried the ball 10 times for 109 yards and a TD. Georgia took a 7-0 lead on a 6-yard Johnson-to-Hampton touchdown pass. By halftime, the Dogs led 17-7. Georgia scored again in the third when Johnson capped a 64-yard drive with an 18-yard pass to tight end Kirk Warner.

MSU closed the gap to 27-20 with 14:24 to play, but the Dogs countered on their next possession when Hampton raced 32 yards for his third touchdown.

The Spartans scored once more, but Georgia, which finished the season ranked 15th, hung on for a 34-27 win.

Syracuse Nips Georgia 19-18 To Win ’89 Peach

Georgia Beats Arkansas 24-15 In ’91 Independence

With :25 left in the game, Syracuse PK John Biskup booted a 26-yard field goal to lift the Orangemen over the Bulldogs, 19-18, in Atlanta at the 22nd Peach Bowl on Dec. 30, 1989.

Despite putting together an impressive opening drive and coming up with several big plays, the Dogs couldn’t sustain a bal­ anced offensive attack throughout the game.

Georgia's leading rusher Rodney Hampton was held to 32 yards on the ground, while Syracuse TB Michael Owens ran for 112 yards on 14 carries. The Georgia passing attack was limited to 88 yards, the first time all season the Dogs were held under 100 yards in the air.

Georgia opened the game with a 66-yard drive, capped off by a 5-yard TD pass from QB Greg Talley to tight end Kirk Warner. Syracuse answered with an 80-yard drive of its own, with Owens scoring from one yard out.

In the second quarter, Syracuse suffered from three miscues, but managed to stay close. The first came when Georgia linebacker Mo Lewis set a new Peach Bowl record with a 77-yard interception return to the Syracuse five. The Bulldogs were unable to get into the end zone, however, and had to settle for a John Kasay field goal. In the second half, the Orangemen gave up a safety, and Georgia added a TD for an 18-10 edge going to the fourth.

Syracuse rallied, first with a 94-yards drive to close to 18--16. Then, Biskup’s field goal lifted the Orange over Georgia in the closest Peach Bowl since 1973.

Georgia completed the 1991 phase of “Operation Turnaround” by beating the Arkansas Razorbacks 24-15 in front of 46, 932 fans and an ABC-TV national television audience in the 1991 Independence Bowl.

The Bulldogs jumped out to a 14-0 lead behind two scoring strikes thrown from Eric Zeier to Arthur Marshall and Andre Hastings stretching their lead to 17-0 on a 39-yard FG by freshman Kanon Parkman.

The Razorbacks battled back and got on the scoreboard with a 7-yard run by the Hogs’ leading rusher, E.D. Jackson.

The run capped off an eight-play 37-yard drive by the Razorbacks.

The second half continued to be a showcase for the play of Hastings and Zeier and the ball-hawking Georgia defense led by junior linebacker Torrey Evans.

Georgia’s defense forced Arkansas quarterback Jason Allen into throwing five interceptions. Evans came off the bench for the injured John Allen and played brilliantly, recording four tackles, an interception and fumble recovery to earn defensive MVP honors.

The game’s offensive MVP, Hastings caught four passes for 94 yards and outran all pursuers on a third quarter 53-yard reverse that put the Bulldogs out front 24-7. The Hogs added eight points in the fourth quarter, but it was too late, the Bulldogs had won the Independence Bowl.

Dogs Beat Ohio State In 1993 Florida Citrus Bowl

Virginia Rallies For 34-27 Win In 1995 Peach Bowl

Georgia secured its best finish in a decade, including a top-10 final ranking and the first 10-win season since 1983, with a 21-14 victory over Ohio State. A New Year’s Day crowd of 65,861 attended the 47th annual Florida Citrus Bowl.

Offensively, Georgia found ball control to its liking in the first quarter as it opened the game with its longest touchdown drive of the season. The Bulldogs drove 80 yards in 14 plays, grinding up 6:18 on the game clock, to take a 7-0 lead. Georgia then opened it up in the second quarter, calling for passes on five of its first eight plays. An Eric Zeier fumble just inside OSU territory proved costly as the Buckeyes drove 54 yards to paydirt in 11 plays for a 7-7 halftime tie.

After the break, Andre Hastings ignited the Dogs’ offense on the opening kickoff of the second half with a spectacular 49-yard return. Then from the OSU 45, Garrison Hearst gained all 45 yards on four carries en route to a 14-7 Bulldog advantage. But after a short punt by Georgia, which the Buckeyes returned to the UGA 33, Ohio State seized the opportunity and tied the game again, 14-14, on a five-yard run by Robert Smith.

Slowly, the Buckeyes had taken control of the game’s momentum and after a 45-yard completion to Smith to the UGA 15, it appeared Ohio State would take its first lead of the game. But quarterback Kirk Herbstreit fumbled, and the Bulldogs drove 80 yards in 11 plays to take the victory. A final Buckeye drive ended with a desperation pass intercepted in the endzone.

A t the Peach Bowl, two of the nat i o n ’s m o s t h a r d - l u c k t e a m s t o o k to Atlanta’s Georgia Dome in search of season-ending consolation. Although the Bulldogs entered the contest as underdogs, Georgia again battled back from adversity, this time a 14-0 deficit with 4:09 left in the first quarter, only to lose in the closing minute. Virginia’s Demetrius Allen proved the difference, returning a Kanon Parkman kickoff for an 83-yard TD with :57 remaining.

Sophomore QB Hines Ward engineered the Georgia comeback, lighting up the Cavalier secondary for 413 yards on 31 of 59 passing. Figure in another 56 yards rushing, and Ward had set new Georgia bowl records for pass attempts, completions, yards passing and total offense. However, a pair of first-quarter interceptions and a blocked Dax Langley punt led to an easy 14 points for Virginia and considerable red and black frustration.

Once again, Georgia’s defense kept the team's hope alive. Besides limiting Virginia to 256 yards total offense, the UGA "D" even gave the 70,824 audience a temporary charge when defensive tackle Jason Ferguson returned UVA's Walt Derey fumble 10 yards for a TD—Georgia's first tie of the game (27-27) with only 1:09 left.

Bobo, Edwards Lead UGA Past Badgers in ’98 Outback Bowl

Georgia Rallies Past Virginia In 1998 Peach Bowl

Mike Bobo completed 26 of 28 passes for 235 yards and one touchdown and running back Robert Edwards ran for three more scores as Georgia defeated Wisconsin 33-6 before an Outback Bowl crowd of 56,186 and an ESPN national television audience.

Bobo, who earned MVP honors, set an Outback Bowl record for best completion percentage (92.8). He also set Outback and Georgia records for consecutive completions with 19.

Edwards set a Georgia bowl mark and tied an Outback record with three rushing touchdowns.

Senior Hines Ward set an Outback Bowl record for receptions and yardage with 12 catches for 122 yards.

Georgia sported a new look for the Outback Bowl, donning black pants instead of the traditional “silver britches” to go along with the Bulldogs’ white jerseys and red helmets. “The players came to me a while back and requested we do something special for the bowl game,” Georgia head coach Jim Donnan said. “The idea the players liked best was wearing black pants.

After discussing it with (athletic director) Coach Dooley we decided to go along with the players’ suggestion for this game.”

No. 19 Georgia rallied from an early secondquarter deficit of 21-0 to post a thrilling 35-33 win over 12th-ranked Virginia. A Peach Bowl record crowd of 72,876 in Atlanta on Dec. 31, 1998 was in attendance for the memorable comeback.

Virginia capitalized on three second quarter interceptions by Georgia freshman Quincy Carter, turning each of them into a touchdown to build a 21-0 lead. Georgia got on the scoreboard when Carter connected with senior Tony Small on an 11-yard score with 1:15 left in the second quarter.

Georgia got its first lead of the night when Olandis Gary capped a 67-yard drive with a 2-yard run on the Dogs’ first possession of the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs then built an 8-point lead when Carter called his own number on a quarterback sneak from the one-yard-line with 7:01 remaining.

Georgia staved off the Cavaliers late by stopping a 2-point conversion and then watching as their last-ditch field goal sailed wide left with just 19 seconds remaining.

Record Comeback Highlights ’00 Outback Win over Purdue

Georgia Cruises Past Virginia In 2000 O’ahu Bowl

Georgia kicked off the new year by staging the largest comeback in bowl history, scoring 28 unanswered points to defeat Purdue 28-25 in overtime at Raymond James Stadium in front of 54,059 in a game broadcast by ESPN. Purdue jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter behind three Drew Brees touchdown passes. In the second quarter Brees threw his fourth touchdown pass to Chris James. Purdue missed three of the four extra point opportunities to lead 25-0 with 10:38 left in the first half.

Georgia got its first points of the game on a Terrence Edwards 74-yard touchdown run off an option reverse to cut the lead to 25-7. Quincy Carter, who had 243 yards on 20 of 33 passing with two touchdowns (one rushing, one passing), helped continue the Georgia surge when he scored on an eight-yard run with 4:22 left in the third quarter. Patrick Pass made the two-point conversion to move the score to 25-18.

The Bulldogs tied the score at 25 with just 1:19 left in regulation, when Randy McMichael caught a Carter pass over two defenders for an eight-yard touchdown. In overtime, Georgia managed to stop Purdue on its first drive when Dorsch missed a 43-yard field goal. After two Pass rushes for 19 yards, Hap Hines nailed a 21-yarder to cap the Bulldogs’ come from behind victory.

The 24th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (8-4) defeated Virginia 34-17 in the 2000 Jeep O’ahu Bowl in front of an Aloha Stadium crowd of 24,187 and an ESPN television audience on Christmas Eve. Georgia jumped out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter. The Bulldogs got on the board with a 35-yard field goal by freshman kicker Billy Bennett. On the Bulldogs’ next series, one play after a successful fake punt, Edwards scampered 40 yards into the end zone Terrence Edwards on a reverse to give Georgia a 10-0 lead. On Virginia’s next possession, freshman safety Kentrell Curry recovered a Cavalier fumble in the end zone for the 17-0 lead.

The Cavaliers pulled within 24-14 in the third quarter as senior linebacker Byron Thweatt returned a Georgia fumble 58 yards, but that was as close as Virginia would get. Georgia added two more touchdowns for the final margin, a 21-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Cory Phillips to freshman receiver Damien Gary and a four-yard fumble return by sophomore safety Cap Burnett after senior linebacker Kendrell Bell knocked the ball loose.

Edwards was named MVP after leading UGA in both receiving and rushing with eight catches for 79 yards and five rushes for 97 yards and one touchdown.

Eagles Edge Dogs In 2001 Music City Bowl

Running back William Green scored a 7-yard touchdown with 4:43 remaining to lift Boston College to a 20-16 win over Georgia at the Music City Bowl.

Running back Verron Haynes capped his Georgia career with 132 yards on 27 carries, including a 1-yard scoring run in the third quarter. That touchdown gave the Bulldogs a 16-10 lead.

The Bulldogs began the game with some trickery when Fred Gibson took the opening kickoff and gave a reverse handoff to Decory Bryant, who raced Verron Haynes 86 yards to the Boston College 18. On Georgia’s second play, Greene found Gibson on a swing pass and he fought his way into the end zone from 15 yards out.

Boston College grabbed the lead in the second quarter when quarterback Brian St. Pierre threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to receiver Dedrick Dewalt.

The play was set up by Green’s 75-yard run, the longest play allowed by the Bulldogs this season.

Sciortino then converted from 26 yards out to give the Eagles a 13-7 lead.

The Bulldogs answered with Bennett’s 24-yard field goal as Georgia trailed 13-10 at the break. Haynes’ third-quarter touchdown gave the Bulldogs their final lead of the contest.

Georgia Defeats Purdue In OT In 2004 Capital One Bowl

After scoring the game’s first 24 points, Georgia needed a Kregg Lumpkin overtime touchdown run to hold off Purdue, 34-27, in front of a Capital One Bowl crowd of 64,565 and an ABC national television audience.

The Bulldogs opened the game with a nineplay, 68-yard drive culminating in a six-yard Fred Gibson touchdown pass from quarterback and offensive MVP David Greene (left). The Bulldogs used a Billy Bennett field goal and two more Greene TD passes--one each to Gibson and Reggie Brown--to open a 24-0 lead with 4:47 left in the first half.

Purdue answered with a touchdown and field David Greene goal to pull within 14, 24-10, at halftime.

Purdue scored the fourth quarter’s first points on a Kyle Orton two-yard run with 9:11 left. Georgia then used up 4:44 on a 12-play, 57-yard drive ending in a 40-yard Bennett field goal. Late in the fourth, Purdue needed just three plays to go 66 yards and pull within three, 27-24, on a Kyle Orton three-yard touchdown pass. Ben Jones kicked a 44-yard field goal with 49 seconds left to tie the game at 27-all.

On the first possession of overtime, Lumpkin pushed his way into the end zone to give the Bulldogs a 34-27 lead. Purdue also drove inside the 10 yard line, but failed to convert.

Bulldogs Beat Badgers In 2005 Outback Bowl

Georgia (10-2) held off a late Wisconsin rally to defeat the Badgers 24-21 in front of 62,414 Outback Bowl fans at Raymond James Stadium and an ESPN national television audience.

It was the last game for several Bulldog seniors, including All-American DE David Pollack (right) whose three-sack performance earned him Outback Bowl MVP. Overall, Georgia’s defense stifled the Badgers’ offense, allowing just 13 points while recording seven quarterback sacks and forcing and recovering two fumbles.

Wisconsin (9-3) took an early second-quarter 6-3 lead in a battle of field goals, but Georgia’s offense came to life in the middle of the game. Senior QB David Greene connected on a 24-yard touchdown to Fred Gibson and later a 24-yard TD to senior Jeremy Thomas.

Freshman Thomas Brown notched his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the year with 111 yards on 16 carries, including a 29-yard touchdown run to give Georgia a 24-6 lead.

West Virginia Upsets Dogs In 2006 Nokia Sugar Bowl

Georgia was unable to overcome a 28-0 deficit and fell to West Virginia 38-35 in the 2006 Nokia Sugar Bowl in front of 74,458 fans at the Georgia Dome and an ABC national television audience.

Despite three touchdowns and 277 yards passing by quarterback D.J. Shockley, the Bulldogs’ late rally fell short after they outscored the Mountaineers 35-10 to finish the game. Tailback Thomas Brown led Georgia with 78 yards rushing, including a 52-yard touchdown.

West Virginia started the game’s scoring with three touchdowns in the first quarter and went up 28-0 with 14:10 remaining in the second quarter.

Georgia got its first points at the 12:58 mark in the Kregg Lumpkin second quarter on Kregg Lumpkin’s career-long 34-yard touchdown run.

The Bulldogs managed to close the gap to 38-35 after Shockley connected with fellow senior Bryan McClendon for a 43-yard touchdown with 5:13 left in the fourth quarter. But West Virginia converted a fake punt in the game’s final drive, enabling the Mountaineers to run the clock out.

Bulldogs Rally Past Va. Tech In 2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl

Georgia stormed back from an 18-point deficit to defeat 14th-ranked Virginia Tech 31-24 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl in the Georgia Dome in front of a bowl-record crowd of 75,406 and a national ESPN television audience.

Bulldog linebacker Tony Taylor (two interceptions) and quarterback Matthew Stafford (129 yards, 1 TD) were named the Defensive and Offensive MVPs. In the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs got scoring runs from tailback Kregg Lumpkin and fullback Brannan Southerland along with one of kicker Brandon Coutu’s three Tony Taylor field goals (including a Georgia bowl record 51-yarder) to complete the comeback.

Georgia led 3-0 after the first quarter, but then the Hokies built a 21-3 halftime edge. Taylor’s interception at the start of the fourth quarter set up the game-tying touchdown, a 3-yard Lumpkin run. On the Hokies’ next possession, Charles Johnson sacked Sean Glennon and caused him to fumble, which Quentin Moses recovered. It led to the go-ahead field goal by Coutu.

Bulldogs Blast Hawai’i To Win 2008 Sugar Bowl

The Bulldogs trounced previously undefeated Hawai’i 41-10 in the Sugar Bowl on New Years night from the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, La. This was the most points the Bulldogs have ever scored in a bowl game as well as their largest margin of victory in a bowl game.

Georgia struck early against the Warriors, starting with a Knowshon Moreno 17-yard touchdown run with 9:42 in the first quarter. Moreno also had an 11-yard scoring run late in the first period.

Early in the second half, defensive end Marcus Howard sacked Warrior quarterThomas Brown back Colt Brennan on the goal line and recovered Brennan’s fumble on the play for a TD, the first of his career. Thomas Brown got in on the scoring action with a one-yard scamper in the third quarter, and QB Matthew Stafford got into the books with an 11-yard TD pass to Sean Bailey midway through the second quarter.

Bulldogs Notch 10th Win At 2009 Capital One Bowl

Matthew Stafford threw three touchdown passes in the final 18 minutes against Michigan State, as the Bulldogs posted a 24-12 Capital One Bowl victory in front of 59,681 fans and an ABC national television audience.

The first half was ugly for Stafford, projected to be an early first-round NFL draft pick, and Georgia. He was just 6-for-14 with an interception in the first half and Michigan State (9-4) led 6-3. In the second half, he looked more like the quarterback NFL teams covet. He completed 14 of his Matthew Stafford final 17 throws, including three TD passes.

Stafford started the comeback by directing a 10-play, 96-yard drive midway through the third quarter. He went 6-for-6 for 92 yards and capped it with a 35-yard touchdown toss to Michael Moore.

Stafford and Aron White hooked up on a 21-yard TD toss with 9 seconds left in the third quarter to put Georgia up 17-6.

Dogs Defeat Texas A&M For Independence Bowl Win

Georgia closed out the 2009 football season in dominant fashion as it defeated Texas A&M 44-20 in the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl in front of 49,653 fans in Shreveport, La. After the Aggies tied the game early in the third quarter, Georgia scored 30 unanswered points to win with relative ease. The 44 points was a Bulldog bowl record.

Neither team scored until the final 2:33 of the second quarter, when Georgia followed an A&M touchdown with two quick scores before halftime, highlighted by Brandon Boykin’s kickoff return.

A 49-yard field goal by Blair Walsh with 9:25 left in the third quarter gave Georgia Brandon Boykin the lead for good and started the string of 30 consecutive points.

Georgia’s defense, coached by defensive line coach Rodney Garner and graduate assistants Mitch Doolittle and Todd Hartley, was led by sophomore linebacker Marcus Dowtin, who had nine tackles. Junior linebacker Rennie Curran had eight, and junior safety Reshad Jones had five tackles and an interception.

No. 24 UCF Edges Bulldogs In 2010 Liberty Bowl

Georgia saw its four-game bowl winning streak stopped by dropping a 10-6 decision to #24 Central Florida in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, marking Georgia’s first postseason loss since the 2006 Sugar Bowl.

UCF’s Latavius Murray scored on a 10-yard touchdown run with 9:01 left, and the Knights were able to stave off Georgia to post the victory. The Bulldogs had the ball last and converted two fourth downs before Kemal Ishmael knocked down Aaron Murray’s final throw into the end zone as time expired.

The Bulldogs also started both halves A.J. Green driving down field easily before bogging down and settling for field goals of 20 and 41 yards by Blair Walsh. These teams went to halftime tied at 3-3 after a first half in which both Georgia and UCF wasted chances at the end zone.

No. 12 MSU Rallies Past Bulldogs In 2012 Outback Bowl

Georgia dropped a 33-30 decision to Michigan State in a thrilling three-overtime game in the Outback Bowl in front of 49,429 fans and a nationally televised ABC audience.

Godwin, Bulldogs Hold Off Penn State for TaxSlayer Win

Ground Attack Pushes Dogs Past TCU in Liberty Bowl Win

After jumping ahead 24-3 in the third quarter, Georgia was able to hold on and beat Penn State 24-17 in the TaxSlayer Bowl at Jacksonville’s EverBank Field.

Freshman Terry Godwin became the first non-quarterback to throw for a score for Georgia since 2005, and the first Bulldog wideout to throw for a score since 1998, when he hit senior Malcolm Mitchell in stride for a 44-yard strike for the first touchdown of the game. Later in the first half, he pulled in a 17-yard touchdown from Greyson Lambert.

Terry Godwin Taxslayer Bowl MVP After Sony Michel’s third-quarter TD run pushed Georgia comfortably ahead, Penn State finally broke through on the first play of the fourth quarter. Backup quarterback Trace McSorley connected with Geno Lewis for a 17-yard score.

Two drives later, McSorley hit DaeSean Hamilton for a TD that trimmed the margin to 24-17.

Georgia got the ball back and consumed most of the remaining 6:07 with a solid drive. Bulldog defenders, however, had to preserve the victory by batting down a 43-yard Hail Mary heave by McSorley on the final play.

The Georgia Bulldogs grabbed the school’s 30th all-time bowl victory in a 31-23 win over the TCU Horned Frogs in the Autozone Liberty Bowl at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis.

Georgia junior tailbacks Nick Chubb and Sony Michel combined for 268 total yards and three touchdowns. Chubb amassed 142 yards on the ground, including a 13-yard touchdown run that strengthened the Bulldogs’ lead to eight points at 31-23 with 2:48 left in the game.

Michel, the Liberty Bowl Offensive MVP, supplied the Bulldogs with one rushing touchSony Michel down on 87 yards and another on 39 receiving yards. On the defensive side of the ball, sophomore lineman Trenton Thompson collected three sacks, a Liberty Bowl record, and was named Liberty Bowl Overall MVP and defensive MVP. Georgia took its first lead of the game at 21-16 on a 4-yard pass from Jacob Eason to Javon Wims midway through the third quarter. The Horned Frogs answered late in the period with a short touchdown pass of their own. Rodrigo Blankenship’s 30-yard field goal 90 seconds into the fourth quarter gave Georgia the lead for keeps.

Bulldogs Top Sooners In Classic Rose Bowl Game

Bulldogs’ Bid for Title Falls Short vs. Alabama

• Sony Michel’s 27-yard touchdown run in the second overtime capped one of the wildest games in program history, a 4-hour roller coaster ride that sent Georgia into the National Championship Game.

• Michel’s winning score was his fourth of a career-best game, one in which he gained 181 yards rushing and also caught four passes.

• Georgia overcame a 17-point second-quarter deficit and and a 7-point margin in the final minutes of regulation. Nick Chubb scored the equalizer on a 2-yard sprint around right end with just 55 seconds left, knotting the score at 45. The tying drive covered 59 yards in seven plays.

• After an exchange of field goals in the first overtime, Lorenzo Carter blocked a Sooner field goal from 27 yards to give Georgia the advantage. It was the Bulldogs’ third block of a placement kick in the 2017 season and fourth block overall.

• Alabama defeated Georgia 26-23 in the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship Game in Atlanta, overcoming two 13-point deficits and an errant field goal attempt that would have won it in regulation.

• Still, the Bulldogs led in overtime on the strength of a 51-yard field goal by Rodrigo Blankenship. They even took the upper hand by sacking Bama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for a 16-yard loss on the Tide’s first play in the extra period. But on second down, Tagovailoa hit DeVonta Smith for a 41-yard scoring pass that ended the game.

• Georgia controlled the first half, taking a 13-0 lead on Mecole Hardman’s 1-yard run just before intermission. Hardman scored again on an 80-yard pass from Jake Fromm with 6:52 left in the third quarter, answering Bama’s first score of the night.

Mecole Hardman • This game marked Georgia’s first appearance since 1982 in a game where victory would have given it a national title in football.

• It was also the first time that any Bulldog team had played consecutive overtime games. Georgia is now 8-6 all-time in overtime contests, including 3-3 at neutral sites.

• A fast start by Texas -- aided partly by a pair of early Georgia miscues -- enabled the Longhorns to post a 28-21 upset victory over the Bulldogs in the 2019 Allstate Sugar Bowl.

• Texas tallied scores on four of its first five possessions in building a 20-7 first-half lead. The margin reached 28-7 before Georgia put together two scoring drives in the fourth period, the latter touchdown with :14 left.

• The Longhorns took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in 10 plays for their first score. The ensuing Georgia drive stalled at the 41-yard line, where a low snap caused punter Jake Camarda to field it with his right knee touching the turf at the 27. Georgia’s defense, however, forced the Longhorns to settle for a 37-yard field goal.

• Later in the first quarter, a D’Andre Swift fumble at his own 12-yard line gave Texas another scoring opportunity. QB Sam Ehlinger scrambled for a 9-yard touchdown three plays later for a 17-0 margin.

• Georgia finished the season 11-3. The Bulldogs made their 55th all-time bowl appearance, including the program’s 22nd consecutive appearance. Its record in bowl games is now 31-21-3.

• Elijah Holyfield became the 15th UGA rusher to gain 1,000 yards in a single season. He went over the 1,000-yard mark on his first carry of the second half. Teammate D’Andre Swift had surpassed that milestone in the SEC Championship game. It marked the second straight year that Georgia had a pair of 1,000-yard rushers after Nick Chubb and Sony Michel had done it in 2017.

• Fifth-ranked Georgia closed the 2019 season with a 26-14 victory over #7 Baylor in the 86th Allstate Sugar Bowl before 55,211 fans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and an ESPN primetime television audience.

• The Bulldogs won this game with a roster that scarcely resembled the one that had played 13 previous contests. As many as 15 scholarship players missed the Sugar Bowl for various reasons. Hardest hit were the offensive line -- which lacked three key players and coach Sam Pittman, who left to become head coach at Arkansas -- and a defense that was missing at least six regulars. OL Warren Ericson, RB Zamir White and DT Devonte Wyatt all made their first career starts in the game.

George Pickens • Freshman George Pickens, who was named the Sugar Bowl MVP, had a career-high 12 catches (tying a UGA bowl record) for 175 yards and 1 TD. In the first half alone, he had 11 for 165 yards and one TD. His 27-yard TD catch early in the second period gave Georgia its first measurable distance from the Bears.

• With the victory, the 2019 class tied the mark for most wins by a Bulldog senior class with 44. They matched the 2005 group that went 44-9 with a pair of SEC titles.

The 2019 class finished with a 44-12 record, one SEC title, three consecutive SEC Eastern Division crowns and was the 2018 CFP Runner-Up. • Georgia made its 11th all-time appearance in the Sugar Bowl, and the Bulldogs are now 5-6. Georgia made its 23rd consecutive appearance in a bowl game, the second longest active streak in the country. Overall, Georgia improved to 32-21-3 in bowls.

Late Podlesny FG Caps Comeback Win Over Bearcats • Jack Podlesny’s career-long 53-yard field goal with :03 left completed a 24-21 comeback victory for ninth-ranked Georgia over No. 8 Cincinnati at the 2021 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

• Things looked bleak for Georgia when Cincinnati’s Jerome Ford broke free on a 79-yard touchdown run with 14:11 left in the third quarter. The score put the Bearcats ahead 21-10, a lead that seemed almost out of reach, given the Bulldogs’ offensive struggles to that point in the game.

• Georgia got the spark it needed early in the fourth quarter, when Azeez Ojulari sacked UC quarterback Desmond Ridder, who lost possession at his own 25yard line. Two plays later, Zamir White streaked around left end for a 9-yard touchdown run.

• Georgia got within 21-19 with a 32-yard field goal from Podlesny on its next possession. After an exchange of punts, the Bulldogs held Cincinnati on its final possession, setting up the game-winning drive.

• Georgia quickly advanced on five plays before stalling at the UC 36-yard line.

Podlesny coolly stroked his career-long field goal with :03 remaining. Ojulari then sacked Ridder in the end zone on the game’s last play for the final margin of victory.

Bulldogs Roll in Orange Bowl, Advance to CFP Championship • Third-seeded Georgia scored on its first five possessions and cruised to a 34-11 victory over second-seeded Michigan at the 2021 Capital One Orange Bowl. The win moved the Bulldogs into the CFP Championship Game for the second time in four years.

• Georgia took the opening kickoff and marched 80 yards in seven plays for its first score. Stetson Bennett completed three passes to Brock Bowers in the drive, one for 35 yards, another for seven and a 9-yarder for the score.

• Michigan then advanced to the Georgia 41yard line before failing on a fourth-down conversion. The Bulldogs seized the opportunity by going 59 yards in six plays for another James Cook touchdown. Kenny McIntosh completed an 18-yard halfback pass to Adonai Mitchell, putting Georgia ahead by two scores.

• Trailing 27-3, Michigan took the second-half kickoff and drove into scoring territory. Cade McNamara, however, was intercepted in the end zone

by Derion Kendrick, snuffing perhaps the Wolverines’ last chance to contend.

Bulldogs Top Alabama, Claim 2021 National Championship

Bulldogs Rally to Best Buckeyes in Peach Bowl

• The Georgia Bulldogs claimed the program’s first national championship in 41 years and its third overall, defeating Alabama 33-18 in the CFP Championship Game before 68,311 fans at Lucas Oil Stadium and a national audience on ESPN. • After a rather slow first half, momentum shifted when Jalen Carter blocked Will Reichard’s 48-yard field-goal attempt.

• The Bulldogs took their opportunity and ran with it, literally, thanks to a 67-yard run by James Cook and the games first touchdown from Zamir White.

• Capitalizing on a Georgia fumble, Alabama scored its only touchdown of the game. The Bulldogs needed just over two minutes to counter. Trailing 18-13, Bennett found Adonai Mitchell in the end zone from 40 yards out for the, giving Georgia the lead for good.

• The Georgia defense, as it had all season, then took command and forced an Alabama three-and-out. The Bulldogs offense answered with a short touchdown pass to Brock Bowers. On Alabama’s next possession, Kelee Ringo intercepted Bryce Young and returned it 74 yards to seal the game.

• Quarterback Stetson Bennett connected with receiver Adonai Mitchell for the go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute remaining as No. 1 Georgia topped No. 4 Ohio State, 42-41, in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in front of a record 79,330 fans and a national ESPN television audience.

• Despite being down two touchdowns at two separate points, the Bulldogs’ offense fought back to tie and eventually take the lead on a 10-yard touchdown from Stetson Bennett to Adonai Mitchell with 54 seconds remaining.

• After Ohio State moved down the field on a last-minute drive, Noah Ruggles’ potential 50-yard game winner hooked far left to clinch the largest fourth-quarter comeback in CFP history.

• Bennett, the game’s Offensive MVP, hit on 23-of-34 passes for 398 yards and three touchdowns. Defensive MVP honors went to defensive back Javon Bullard, who registered a sack among his three tackles and broke up a pass in the end zone. Defensive back Chris Smith logged a team-high eight tackles, while linebacker Smael Mondon had seven stops, including a sack.

Bulldogs Dominate Horned Frogs to Claim Back-to-Back National Championships The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs scored on their first six possessions, led by 31 at the half, and cruised to a 65-7 win over No. 3 TCU Monday night at SoFi Stadium to capture their second straight national championship.

Unlike last season’s National Championship Game, in which the Bulldogs needed to rally to beat Alabama, Georgia jumped on the Horned Frogs from the outset. The lead was 17-7 after the first quarter and 38-7 at halftime, as quarterback Stetson Bennett and the offense started hot and stayed hot, and the defense produced its own dominating performance that included three first-half turnovers.

Georgia is the first team in the College Football Playoff era to win back-to-back national championships. The victory was the 17th in a row for the Bulldogs, tying the school record set during the 1945-47 seasons.

Bennett was named the Offensive MVP after throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns and rushing for two scores. It was Bennett’s fourth Offensive MVP award in four career CFP games. Safety Javon Bullard was named the Defensive MVP after picking off a pair of passes and recovering a fumble, all in the first half. The defense finished with nine tackles for loss and five sacks.

Georgia (15-0) finished with 589 yards of offense to just 188 for TCU (13-2), which came in averaging 41.1 points and 474.1 yards per game. The Bulldogs’ 65 points were the most ever in a CFP or BCS title game.

After Georgia’s defense opened the game with a quick stop, the offense hit a couple of big plays before Bennett ran the ball in for a 21-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 11:01 left in the first quarter. Earlier in the drive, Bennett hit Bowers for 21 and 12 yards on consecutive plays to move deep into Horned Frogs territory.

Georgia’s defense gave the offense the ball back at the TCU after safety Christopher Smith forced a fumble and Bullard recovered at the 33. After a Bowers 5-yard run and a 15-yard Bennett completion to Ladd McConkey, the drive stalled and Jack Podlesny kicked a 24-yard field goal to make it 10-0 Bulldogs with 6:51 remaining in the first.

TCU’s high-powered offense connected on its first big play soon after, a 60yard completion down to the Georgia 11. Three plays later, quarterback Max Duggan, a Heisman Trophy finalist like Bennett, ran the ball in from the 2 to make it 10-7 with 4:45 remaining in the quarter.

Georgia wasted no time answered with another touchdown. Bennett and McConkey twice connected on 11-yard receptions, with an 11-yard Kenny McIntosh run in between before Bennett hit a wide open McConkey in the end zone for a 37-yard score, pushing the lead to 17-7 with 2:39 remaining in a busy opening quarter.

The Bulldogs put together a dynamic 92-yard drive on their next possession, mixing the run and pass effectively as they marched in for another touchdown.

Bowers had receptions of 10 and 35 yards, Bennett scrambled for 12, Daijun Edwards had an 8-yard catch and 7-yard run, McIntosh added a 12-yard run, and then Bennett finished it with a 6-yard touchdown run. Bennett’s 10th rushing touchdown of the season made it 24-7 with 8:30 to play in the half.

Georgia’s defense forced its second turnover of the half on TCU’s next drive, with Bullard picking off a deep Duggan throw at the Bulldog 34. The offense then marched down, again effectively mixing the run and pass, and went up

@GeorgiaFootball

31-7 on Kendall Milton’s 1-yard plunge with 1:19 left in the half.

Bullard and the defense weren’t done. Bullard intercepted a Duggan pass deep in TCU territory and the offense got the ball back at the 22 with :36 seconds left. On the second play of the drive, Bennett hit Adonai Mitchell for a 22-yard score with 26 seconds left, making it 38-7 at the half.

The Bulldogs amassed 371 yards and averaged 9.3 yards per play in the first two quarters while holding TCU to 121 yards and 4.5 yards per play.

After punting for the first and only time in the game on their first drive of the second half, the Bulldogs’ offense found the end zone again with their second, with Bennett hitting Bowers for a 22-yard touchdown to make it 45-7 with 10:52 remaining in the third quarter. Bowers had a monster performance with seven receptions for 152 yards, plus two rushes for 15 yards Georgia made it 52-7 with 2:17 left in the third when Bennett hit McConkey for a 14-yard touchdown. A 1-yard Branson Robinson rushing touchdown pushed Georgia’s lead to 59-7 with 9:24 left. Robinson was the sixth Bulldog to score at least one touchdown in the game, and he added a second score on a 19-yard run with 7:23 remaining, making it 65-7.

2024 Post-Season Guide

Bulldogs Rout Seminoles in Historic Orange Bowl MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The No. 6-ranked Georgia football team wrapped up its season with a dominant performance against No. 5 Florida State in the Capital One Orange Bowl on Saturday night at Hard Rock Stadium. The Bulldogs amassed 673 yards of offense, scored touchdowns on nine consecutive drives at one point, and rolled to a 63-3 win.

Playing in its 27th consecutive bowl game, the longest streak in the nation. Georgia (13-1) led 7-0 after the first quarter. In the second, the Bulldogs turned the game Kendall Milton into a rout, outscoring FSU 35-3 thanks to explosive plays on offense, strong defense and three takeaways, including one on special teams.

With the victory, the 2023 senior class improved to 50-4, the most wins ever by a class in school history. Georgia is now 38-21-3 all-time in bowl games, including seven wins in a row.

Georgia amassed 383 yards of offense in the first half, including 180 rushing yards, and averaged 11.3 yards per play. The 42-3 lead was the largest halftime advantage in Orange Bowl history. For the game, the Bulldogs rushed for 372 yards on 47 carries, and out-gained the Seminoles 673-209.

The Bulldogs got on the scoreboard first, going 69 yards on seven plays on their second drive to take a 7-0 lead on running back Kendall Milton’s 15-yard touchdown run with 4:05 to play in the opening quarter. It was the fourth play of 15 yards or more on the drive. Quarterback Carson Beck had completions to Dillon Bell (15 yards) and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint (16), and Daijun Edwards had a 17-yard run before Milton’s score.

After the Bulldog defense forced a third straight Florida State (13-1) punt, the Georgia offense went back to work. Edwards combined for 12 yards on two runs, Beck hit wideout Ladd McConkey for a 22-yard gain, and then Milton, on the final play of the first quarter, ran through one defender on his way to a 43-yard gain down to the FSU 5.

Milton had 86 yards on six carries in the first period, and on the first play of the second, he scored on a 5-yard run to put the Bulldogs ahead 14-0.

Florida State answered with a couple of long completions to get down to the Bulldog 3-yard line. The Georgia defense kept the Seminoles out of the end zone, and FSU cut the lead to 14-3 with a 22-yard field goal by Ryan Fitzgerald with 12:34 to play in the half.

Georgia needed just four plays to get back into the end zone on the ensuing drive.

Beck hit tight end Oscar Delp for 14 yards, followed by a 31-yard completion to Bell. Edwards then ran 15 yards to the 15, followed by a 15-yard touchdown run to make it 21-3 with 10:38 to go. Through four drives, the Bulldogs were averaging 10.9 yards per play.

The Bulldogs scored again 20 seconds later. On the ensuing kickoff, Chaz Chambliss forced a fumble and Cole Speer dove on the loose ball at the FSU 27. On the next play, McConkey caught a pass behind the line of scrimmage and appeared to be setting up to throw a pass. Instead, he took off running and worked his way through the defense for a 27-yard touchdown. Peyton Woodring’s fourth extra point of the half made it 28-3.

After the Georgia defense got a stop on fourth-and-6 at the UGA 38, the offense again moved the ball and found the end zone. This time, Beck threw a screen to wide receiver Arian Smith, who ran it in for a 12-yard score and a 35-3 lead with 3:39 left until halftime.

The Seminoles had the ball at the Georgia 25 late in the half when outside linebacker Mykel Williams strip-sacked quarterback Brock Glenn, picked up the fumble and returned it 10 yards to the Bulldog 49. Two plays later, Beck connected with Bell for a 35-yard gain. Soon after, Beck hit Dominic Lovett for a two-yard touchdown and a 42-3 lead with 26 seconds left in the half.

Bulldogs three takeaways in the second quarter. It was Starks’ third INT of the season.

Milton had 104 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries in the first half, while Beck was 13 of 18 for 203 yards and two touchdowns. Neither player played in the second half.

Georgia got the ball to start the third quarter, and with Gunner Stockton at quarterback and numerous other backups in, went on a 10-play, 75-yard drive that ended on Edwards’ two-yard touchdown run, pushing the lead to 49-3. Later in the third, Stockton hit tight end Lawson Luckie for a four-yard touchdown, pushing lead to 56-3. It was Stockton’s first career touchdown pass and Luckie’s first TD catch.

Cornerback Daylen Everette snagged his first career interception on FSU’s next drive. Georgia’s offense took full advantage of the turnover, taking a 63-3 lead on Stockton’s four-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Evans III. It was Evans’ first career touchdown catch. Stockton finished 6 of 10 passing for 96 yards and two touchdowns, and added 46 yards rushing on seven attempts.

On Georgia’s final drive, Jackson Muschamp, a junior backup quarterback and the son of co-defensive coordinator (and former Bulldog defensive back) Will Muschamp, entered the game. He ran for 14 yards on his first play.

MASCOT HISTORY Although the University of Georgia is now known as the home of Uga, the pure white English bulldog, several mascots led the Red and Black before Frank W. Seiler provided the current lineage beginning in 1956.

The Goat -- Feb. 22, 1892

Georgia’s mascot for its first football game against Auburn, Feb­ruary 22, 1892 in Atlanta, Ga., was a goat. Old newspaper clippings indicate that the goat wore a black coat with red U.G. letters on each side. He also had on a hat with ribbons all down his high horns, and the Auburn fans yelled throughout the game “shoot the billy-goat.”

Trilby, 1894

Ga. He was spotted by students who were attending the 1946 Georgia-Georgia Tech game in Athens, and the canine appeared to be suited for the mascot position. Smith agreed to loan Butch to the University during the football season along with a female puppy named Tuffy. The female died of a heart attack following the Georgia-Kentucky game in 1948, but Butch continued to serve. Spending the off-season at Smith’s home in Warner Robins, Butch was tragically shot in the summer of 1951 by a policeman after the dog escaped from his pen and was found roaming the streets. Butch is buried behind Smith’s business along Watson Boulevard.

In 2004 plans for a marker honoring Butch in his hometown were put into motion by longtime Warner Robins resident Guy Fussell.

In 1894, Georgia’s mascot was a solid white female bull terrier Mike, 1951-55 owned by a student, Charles H. Butch was succeeded Black, Sr., of Atlanta. Trilby,

The current Uga line of solid white English bulldogs began with Uga I, Hood’s Ole Dan, born Dec. 2, 1955, in Columbus. Uga I was given to Cecelia Seiler by a friend, Frank Heard of Columbus and appeared in his first game in the 1956 home opener. As recalled by Sonny Seiler, “...his original red jerseys were made by Cecelia. It Uga I was necessary to take up children’s t-shirts to fit the dog in the right places. There is no telling how many of these jersey’s he wore out. During the early games in Athens, especially the hot ones before he had a dog house, the large green hedges that surround Sanford Stadium afford welcomed shade in the heat of battle.

Uga III

Born Oct. 9, 1972, Seiler’s Uga III was present for Georgia football’s finest moment as Herschel Walker took the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship. He led Georgia to six bowl games in nine years and closed out his career in ultimate fashion winning the 1980 NCAA championship.

Uga III retired on the 100th football game of his career, marking the opener of the 1981 season. He died just weeks later. epitaph: How ‘Bout This Dawg

Uga IV, 1981-89 “Seiler’s Uga Four” Record: 77-27-4 Uga IV was perhaps the most active of all the Georgia mascots, standing as the only one to attend a bowl game every year of his service (1981-89).

He took over for Uga III in the 1981 season opener and over the next nine seasons, led Georgia to a record of 7727-4. The highlight of his career was his personal appearance at the Heisman Trophy Ban­quet with Herschel Walker in New York on December 9, 1982.

Uga IV was escorted through theUga IV banquet hall by the president of the Down­town Athletic Club, and was earlier photographed with Herschel by photographers from across the country. The proud Bulldog donned his game jersey for the outing and added the formal touch of a collar and black tie. Uga IV was the first mascot invited to the Heisman Banquet.Declared ‘‘Dog of the Decade’’ by Vince Dooley in 1991, Uga IV was posthumously awarded the highest honor available to University of Georgia mascots — the Georgia varsity letter. epitaph: The Dog of the Decade

Otto, 1986 “The Substitute” Record: 3-1 Although Otto was not pure white like his father, he was called upon to fill in for his younger brother, Uga IV, who injured ligaments in his left hind knee when jumping off a hotel bed before the Otto Vanderbilt contest. In four games during the 1986 season, Otto led the team to a 3-1 record and also co-mascotted (along with Uga IV), a victory over instate rival Georgia Tech. After winning his first two games, fans cheered, “2-and-0 with Otto!” Dooley, serving as head coach during Otto’s brief tenure, favored the substitute the most. “I have always had a great affection for those who came off the bench and performed, and he did that and had a great time,” Dooley said. Otto is buried in the Seiler’s backyard.

Uga V, 1990-99 “UGA IV’s Magillicuddy II” Record: 65-39-1 In the first game of 1990, Uga V officially began his reign as the Georgia mascot, taking over from his father Uga IV, who passed away at his home in Savannah on Feb. 26, 1990. Uga V was the last pup sired by Uga IV and was born on March 6, 1990.

Named in honor of one of the greatest Bulldogs, Dan Magill, former Assistant Athletic Director for Public Relations and longtime tennis coach and sports information director. Surprisingly, the Seiler family became aware that Uga IV’s mate was expecting only 10 days before the litter was due. This notice came a week after Uga IV had passed away at his home in Savannah from kidney failure. There were only three pups in the litter and the last one born on March 6 was the only solid white male.

Uga V had been perhaps the most well known of all the Bulldog mascots, highlighted by his appearance on the cover of the April 28, 1997, Sports Illustrated which declared him the nation’s best college mascot. Rocketed to stardom, he also appeared in Clint Eastwood’s “Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil” — filmed in his hometown of Savannah, Ga. He died on Nov. 22, 1999, just over two months after his retirement.

Epitaph: “Nation’s Best College Mascot”—Sports Illustrated

Uga VI, 1999-2008 “Uga V’s Whatchagot Loran” Record: 87-27

Uga VI

In 2007, Uga VI became the winningest mascot in school history and owned a record of 87-27. The fall of 2008 would have been his 10th season after Uga VI reigned over more games than any other mascot with 114. He died on June 27, 2008. In his last game, the Bulldogs defeated Hawai’i 41-10 in the 2008 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

The pregame passing of the bone ceremony from Uga V to his heftier and friskier son, Whatchagot Loran, took place at the 1999 Georgia-South Carolina contest.

Only a year old at his coronation, Uga VI stood as the biggest of all the Uga mascots weighing in at 65 pounds — 20 pounds heavier than his father.

His first season climaxed in a magnificent come from behind victory over Purdue at the Outback Bowl in Tampa. The 2000 season ended in Hawaii, but due to the distance and a quarantine rule, Uga VI missed the O’ahu Bowl, marking the first time the Georgia mascot had missed the postseason game since the 1969 Sun Bowl.

Alongside first-year head coach Mark Richt, Uga VI saw his third consecutive 8-4 season, which included a 26-24 win at then-No. 6 Tennessee for the Bulldogs’ first win in Knoxville since 1980.

Uga VI and Georgia experienced their best run in two decades during the 200205 seasons. That stretch included 44 wins, a pair of SEC titles and appearances in the Sugar, Capital One and Outback Bowls.

In 2007, Uga VI passed Uga IV (77-24-4) for the most wins of any bulldog in school history.

Uga VII, 2008-2009 “Loran’s Best” Record: 16-7 The seventh in the Uga line of Georgia mascots was introduced to the Georgia people on Aug. 30, 2008, during pre-game ceremonies of the Bulldogs’ season opener against Georgia Southern.

“Loran’s Best” officially became “Uga VII,” when he was introduced for the first time to the Sanford Stadium crowd prior to kickoff of the Georgia vs. Georgia Southern game. He was escorted onto the field by members of the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah who have owned the continuous line of mascots since Uga I took up the mantle in 1956. @GeorgiaFootball

Uga VII passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 19 of heart-related causes. It was the Thursday before the final home game of the 2009 season and the Bulldogs did not have a live mascot at the game. Instead, a wreath was placed on UGA VII’s doghouse, and the players wore a special UGA VII decal on their helmets to remember him. “Russ,” the five-year-old half brother of Uga VII, served as the Bulldog mascot for the Georgia Tech game in Atlanta and helped his squad to a 30-24 win. He was the first substitute mascot since “Otto” in 1986.

Epitaph: Gone Too Soon

Uga VIII, 2010 “Big Bad Bruce” Record: 4-2

Uga VIII

Born Sept. 12, 2009 in Savannah, Ga., Uga VIII is the grandson of Uga VI. He carried on the tradition of more than 60 years of all-white bulldogs bred by Frank “Sonny” Seiler and family.

Uga VIII was named in honor of Dr. Bruce Hollett from the University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Hollett has been a longtime caregiver for the famed line of English bulldogs. UGA VIII served six games in the 2010 season before he became ill and missed the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. He passed away with lymphoma on February 4, 2011.

Epitaph: He Never Had a Chance

Uga IX, 2012-14 (“Russ”, 2009-2012: 16-9) Record: 44-19 “Uga IX, formerly “Russ,” the half-brother of Uga VII, served as interim Bulldog mascot for a total of 25 games. He worked nine games during the 2009 and 2010 seasons after Uga VII and VIII passed away. He roamed the sidelines at all 14 games during the 2011 season. He then served for two wins at the beginning of the 2012 season before being promoted as Uga IX prior to the Florida Uga IX Atlantic game on Sept. 15, 2012. His time as mascot included the 2011 and 2012 SEC Eastern Division championships, three road wins at Georgia Tech, a victory over Texas A&M in the 2009 Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., and a win over Nebraska in the 2013 Capital One Bowl.

He was the first substitute mascot since “Otto” in 1986.

Epitaph: He endeared himself to the Georgia people. His dedication to duty when called upon was exemplary.

Uga X

Uga X, 2015-22 “Que” Record: 91-18

Uga IX officially retired as the Bulldogs’ mascot at the end of the 2014 season. After a three-month “audition” in that role, his grandson “Que” was formally crowned as his successor in a collaring ceremony prior to the Georgia-Georgia Southern game on Nov. 21, 2015. Que assumed the title of Uga X at the age of 2 1/2 years. During his audition, he made appearances at the Countdown to Kickoff event in July 2015, as well as Picture Day in August, before presiding over the entirety of the 2015 football season. Que capped his inaugural season by leading the team to a 24-17 victory over Penn State at the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl.

In the 2021 season, Que reached heights attained by just one of his ancestors, UGA III, when Georgia won the 2022 CFP National Championship Game. Que closed out his career with a second-consecutive national title, retiring after the 2022 season as the winningest mascot in program history.

Serving as the official symbol of the University of Georgia, the Arch was built in the 1850s and originally served as part of a larger iron fence securing the campus.

Daniel Redfearn (BL 1909, BS 1910) is credited with making the Arch the sacred symbol of UGA. Recognized as one of the school’s finest icons, students today hold the Arch in high regard as its three pillars represent the virtues of wisdom, justice, and moderation.

The Arch

The ‘‘G’’

In 1963 after becoming the Bulldogs’ Head Football Coach, Vince Dooley redesigned the football uniform, choosing a red helmet with a black “G” on a white background as the dominant feature of the new uniform for the 1964 season.

He discussed with his staff that a forward-looking “G” would be an appropriate emblem for the helmet of the Georgia team. Dooley had just hired John Donaldson, former Georgia player from 1945 to 1948, as backfield coach. Donaldson was keen on the idea of a new image and volunteered his wife, Anne, who had a BFA in commercial art from UGA, to design a logo for the new Georgia helmet with the general specifications Dooley had outlined. Dooley accepted Anne’s original “G” which fit his vision for a forward look to Georgia’s new emblem.

Since the Georgia “G”, though different in design and color, was similar to Green Bay’s “G”, Coach Dooley thought it best to clear the use of Georgia’s new emblem with the NFL team. Athletic Director Joel Eaves called for permission, which was granted. However, since its inception in 1961, the Green Bay “G” has been redesigned several times and now looks like Georgia’s original 1964 “G.” Georgia is proud that the Packers apparently liked the special nuances of the Bulldogs’ forward-looking “G”.

Georgia’s oval “G”, eventually replacing Georgia’s old block “G” as the official UGA symbol, has stood the test of time. It made its first appearance in the opening game in 1964 and was an immediate hit with the Georgia fans, especially after Dooley’s first three teams were so successful—highlighted by the 1966 SEC Championship.

‘‘Silver Britches’’

Silver Britches were an innovation of Coach Wally Butts, who took over as head coach in 1939. The handsome pants complemented the bright red jersey and made for a striking uniform. Through the years, fans referred to the Bulldogs’ silver britches in their chants and on banners, but the phrase really caught on in the early fifties with a cheer, banners, and colorful vests that proclaimed ‘‘Go, You Silver Britches.’’ Coach Vince Dooley re-designed the uniform when he came in 1964 and used white pants; however, he re-instituted the silver britches in 1980 just prior to what turned out to be Georgia’s national championship season.

‘‘How ‘Bout Them Dogs’’

Chapel Bell

@GeorgiaFootball

This is a slogan of recent vintage, but one that has become a battle cry of Bull­dog fans probably because of its obvious grammatical slur. It first surfaced during the mid to late 1970’s especially during the 1978 season when the Bull­ dogs posted several remarkable, come-from-behind victories.

It gained national attention and exposure when Georgia won the national champion­ship in 1980. A major wire service used the phrase in its story of Georgia’s victory over Notre Dame and many newspapers picked it up in glaring headlines across the country proclaiming ‘‘How ‘Bout Them Dogs!’’

‘‘Bulldogs’’

“Bulldogs”

“Between the Hedges”

“Lone Trumpeter”

Many oldtimers say Georgia acquired the nickname, “Bulldogs,” because of the strong ties with Yale, whose nickname is “Bulldogs.” Georgia’s first president, Abraham Baldwin, was a Yale man and the early buildings on campus were designed from blueprints of the same buildings at Yale.

However, the first references to the nickname “Bulldogs” actually came in the 1910’s (1911-20) by Atlanta newspaper writers covering both football and baseball games. Although used occasionally during the previous decade, the nickname began to be consistently used around 1920.

On Nov. 3, 1920, Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal wrote about school nicknames and said "The Georgia Bulldogs would sound good because there is a certain dignity about a bulldog, as well as ferocity." After a 0-0 tie with Virginia in Charlottesville on Nov. 6, 1920, Atlanta Constitution writer Cliff Wheatley used the name "Bulldogs" in his story five times. Gene Hinton also used the term “Bulldogs.”

The nickname seemed to be off and running.

‘‘Between The Hedges’’

A reference to Sanford Stadium that dates to the early 1930’s. The famous Chinese privet hedges that surround San­ford’s playing field were only one foot high when the stadium was dedi­cated in 1929 and were protected by a wooden fence. It was natural for a clever sports writer, referring to an upcoming home game, to observe ‘‘that the Bulldogs will have their opponent ‘between the hedges.’’ At least one old-timer says the phrase was first coined by the legendary Atlanta sportswriter Grantland Rice.

‘‘Lone Trumpeter’’

The Chapel Bell

The ringing of the chapel bell after a Georgia victory is a tradition that continues even though freshmen are no longer ordered to do the chore. In the 1890’s, the playing field was located ­only yards from the Chapel and first-year students were compelled to ring the bell until midnight in celebration of a Bull­dog victory. Today students, alumni, and townspeople still rush to the Chapel to ring the bell after a gridiron victory.

Among the University’s oldest and most lasting traditions is the school fight song, ‘‘Glory, Glory,’’ which is sung to the tune of ‘‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic.’’ It was sung at games as early as the 1890’s, but arranged in its present form

by Georgia’s immortal musician-composer Hugh Hodgson in 1915. There have been many Bulldog songs through the years and at least two collections dating back to 1909 have been published, but none have enjoyed more acceptance than ‘‘Glory, Glory.’’

“Silver Britches”

Seven minutes before kickoff in Sanford Stadium, the Bulldog Nation directs its attention to a lone trumpeter standing in the upper deck of the southwest corner of the stadium.

The soloist is recognized and begins to play the first 14 notes of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." The Battle Hymn solo was originally composed in 1987 as a student project by Jeff Simmons and became a part of the pre-game traditions in 2000. Each year, 25-30 members of the Redcoat Band audition for one of the 4-5 soloist positions.

J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics

President University of Georgia

J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks, a finalist for Sports Business Journal’s Athletic Director of the Year in 2023, continues to lead the University of Georgia Athletic Association through historic success.

Georgia Athletics boasts remarkable accomplishments over the last three years, including a No. 7 final ranking in the 2023 LEARFIELD Directors Cup — Georgia’s highest mark in 18 years, a record-setting student-athlete GPA in each of the last two academic campaigns, unparalleled fundraising and over 15 capital projects that have been completed or are in progress.

Bulldog athletic teams have won three team national championships and a total of seven SEC crowns, while there have been 15 individual national champions.

The women’s soccer and volleyball teams have made the NCAA tournament in backto-back years for the first-time ever. The baseball program advanced to a NCAA Super Regional for the first time since 2008 during Wes Johnson’s first season as head coach.

Keidane McAlpine guided the soccer team to the 2023 SEC Championship, finishing with its highest ranking ever at No. 13 nationally.

In addition to back-to-back national titles in 2021 and 2022, Georgia’s football team boasts an incredible 39-0 regular season record during Brooks’ three-year tenure. They have also recorded three-straight 12-0 regular seasons – the first time in SEC lore a program has done so. The Bulldogs enter the 2024 campaign having won an SEC and school record 27-straight regular season conference games and riding a school record 25-game home win streak.

From academic and athletic success to historic fundraising and a multitude of facility projects, Brooks has continued to sustain Georgia’s standing as a national powerhouse.

The Georgia Bulldog Club set new fundraising records in each of the last three years with $86.4 million raised in 2022, $102 million in 2023 and $113 million in 2024.

Brooks has overseen substantial facility upgrades that include the brand-new Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Tennis Courts, improvements to the south side of Sanford Stadium, a $45 million renovation to Foley Field, a $38 million upgrade to the Jack Turner Softball Stadium, a new $1.8 million men’s and women’s basketball weight room as well as expansive updates to Stegeman Coliseum and a renovation project in the Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall.

Georgia also built a new, state-of-the-art track and field locker room and recently announced plans to construct a one-of-a-kind track facility off South Milledge Avenue.

This project will include the only indoor track and field venue in the state of Georgia and will allow the Bulldogs to host NCAA and SEC events as well as summer camps.

While facility upgrades have been at the forefront, Georgia’s emphasis on Name, Image, and Likeness has further enhanced its commitment to the student-athlete experience. Georgia Athletics was one of the first departments to announce a comprehensive NIL program, which provides wide-ranging education, multi-media management tools and brand-building training. The Bulldogs became one of the first schools to build an in-house NIL department with an Athlete Manager to help student-athletes navigate this space.

Under his guidance, Georgia re-branded the mental health and performance department, bringing in a new full-time director and an additional clinical counselor as well as adding sports psychology services for every team. A Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee was also established as Courtney Gay was hired to lead in the department’s DEI efforts.

A native of Hammond, La., Brooks’ vision of competing for championships and postseason success and his passion for student-athletes began well before his time as Athletic Director. Before returning to UGA in 2016 as Executive Associate Director of Athletics, Brooks served as Deputy Athletics Director at the University of Louisiana Monroe from 2015-16 and Director of Athletics at Millsaps College from 2014-15. He also served in capacities as Director of Football Operations (2008-11) and Assistant and Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations (2012-14) in his previous stint at UGA. Brooks also served as director of football operations at the University of Louisiana-Monroe beginning in 2004. He gained experience as a student at Louisiana State University, working as an equipment manager and a student assistant coach. During his four years at LSU, the Tigers participated in the 2000 Peach Bowl, 2002 Sugar Bowl, and won the 2001 Southeastern Conference championship.

Brooks graduated from LSU (’02) with a degree in Kinesiology and completed his master’s degree in Sport Management from UGA (‘14). He and his wife, Lillie, have twin sons, Jackson and James, born in July of 2009 and a third son, Davis, born in March of 2012.

He and his wife Lillie have become a vital part of the Athens community. On January 20, 2021, just two weeks after becoming Athletic Director, Brooks pledged $100,000 to create a need-based scholarship to support UGA students from Athens-Clarke County.

His gift created a Georgia Commitment Scholarship (GCS), adding to the more than 550 endowed, need-based scholarships created under the GCS program since its launch in January 2017.
