I thought it was the worst SEC champ game I’d ever watched. The level play of atrocious. The mistakes, dropped passes, penalties, awful passes. Ultimately, better coaching won out against better talent. I’m very bitter, I had a nice wager on Texas at -2 and there is NFW it didn’t cash. Dominated in fist half and KOD the QB who was replaced by a complete neophyte. Puke.
Two plays stood out to me in that game. I loved the fourth down play when Manning came in and the center snapped in thru his legs to the tailback who got the first. The second play was the fake punt by Kirby.
The story of the game to me (other than Sark just unable to score toddies) was the hit the backup QB sustained at the end of the game and the ramifications. That kid sustained a concussion. There is no way around it. Go watch the replay and how he got up. The kid was out on his feet. If this was the NFL he’s not gonna be available for their next game. Beck is out for the year, so UGA Is done. They win the game, get the bye and made the rookie can clear whatever protocol exists in college. But unlike the committee excluding FSU last year because their QB got injured, the committee has to take UGA because they get the idiotic auto bid by being conference champ. I guess the committee could say Army was the fifth best conference champ and exclude UGA that way, but we know that’s not gonna happen.
