What a Game!

Wow, what a game. The Tigers pushed Georgia all over the place for three quarters and probably left 21 unscored points behind them. The Georgia came alive. They marched down the field with on 3 minutes remaining. And then they scored the go ahead touchdown. Looked like it was all over for LSU. The crowd in Sanford Stadium were going wild.

Then they, Georgia got penalized for excessive celebration. That was a 15 yarder. So they kicked off further inside their territory. I was fielded by Trindon Holiday and he ran it back 40 yards (something most of the pundits missed, I guess). And then Georgia was further penalized five yards for a procedural violation on the kick off. That gave LSU the ball on Georgia's 38 yard line.

The TV kept panning the LSU place kicker as he was practicing along the side lines. This guy has already kicked a 52 field goal, quite a threat.

LSU ran a running play for no yardage. Everybody figured they would throw a pass to get the place kicker within better range. After all Georgia led by one point. The next play from scrimmage was Glen Scott, who has not been getting much yardage this year, ripped though the Georgia line and scampered for 33 yards into the end zone. Now the score was LSU 19, Georgia 13.

The stadium grew quite, the only noise was coming from the LSU fans. The place kicker punched through the extra point, now the score was 20 to 13, with 56 seconds to go.

Georgia trotted out its offensive team after receiving the kick off. Oh, yeah LSU was penalized the same 15 yards for the kick off but Georgia only was able to run the ball back 15 yards - so field position was not near as good. Big dfference!

They ran two pass plays, moved up some, but it was still 3rd down and some yards to go for a first down. About 30 seconds left now. Then Georgia did it, they threw an interception. At first the referee called incomplete - out bounds. But the play was reviewed and he was over ruled, it was ruled as an interception - LSU's ball.

That meant the game was over. Sanford Stadium was in shock. Three Touchdowns in three minutes and they lost. It all came down to one play. LSU was there, Georgia was not.

Not pretty, no style points, just a win.
