...N!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:44:04

Incredible crowd! Split about even. Might be 55 or 60 percent Georgia fans.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:44:44

Tigers won the toss! They deferred to the 2nd half, so Georgia will get the ball first.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:45:14

The press box is swaying before the kickoff! I've never felt that in all the ACC Championship Games here!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:46:23

First play from scrimmage at the 26 is a gain of 7 to Bowers.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:46:44

False start! Makes it 2nd and 8.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:48:00

First down at the UGA 36.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:48:25

Zamir runs for 3 to make it 2nd and 7.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:50:07

Delay of game called on the Tigers for clapping, simulating the snap.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:50:21

2nd and 10 now at the 49.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:51:17

Big 3rd and 8 coming from the 49!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:52:00

D GETS A STOP! Georgia to punt from the 48.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:55:28

Wow looked the punt was going in the end zone, but it bounced back to the 10. Camarda can punt!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:56:23

Ugh deflected pass makes it 3rd and 8.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 18:57:15

Ugh DJ sacked at the 4. Tigers go 3 and out.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:08:31

Nice shoestring tackle by Booth forces a punt on 4th and 4!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:09:22

Good grief Camarda pins the Tigers inside the 10 again. I called it!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:10:10

Fade to Justyn Ross draws a PI!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:11:07

Screen to Ross for 6 yards brings up 2nd and 4.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:12:36

Ugh DJ takes a bad sack on 3rd down. Gotta get rid of the ball! Spiers out to punt.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:12:55

Georgia takes over at their 37.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:14:15

Big 3rd and 2 from the Georgia 45! Bulldogs call timeout.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:16:52

FALSE START! 3rd and 7 from the 40.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:17:29

Bad PI call. Ball was uncatchable. They should have called defensive holding. 1st down Georgia.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:23:11

Good grief the wi-fi in the press box is terrible tonight! Never had a problem with it here before. 2nd and 8 for UGA from the Tigers’ 22.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:25:06

Ugh total BS pass interference call on Goodrich in the end zone! The receiver pulled him to the ground!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:28:40

UGA will have 3rd and 13 at the Tigers’ 27 to start the 2nd quarter. Safe to say Georgia dominated the 1st quarter, although field position definitely helped, and I said that could be a big factor The good news is it’s still tied and the Tigers will get the ball first in the 2nd half.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:31:12

D gets a stop! Georgia to attempt a 36-yard FG.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:32:07

WOW MISSED!!! Can’y believe it! That kicker they have is a Groza candidate.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:35:41

1st down Ngata! Tigers at the 49.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:37:24

Good grief bad snap. There’s that C-Q exchange we heard about in the first scrimmage!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:38:35

Ugh DJ drops the snap for no apparent reason. He ran for 5 yards, but the Tigers will have to punt from midfield.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:44:56

D gets a stop on 3rd and 2! Big stuff by Bresee. Georgia to punt from their 34.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:52:14

Wow, another boomer by Camarda to the 15. Damn that guy is good!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:53:03

Tigers go 3 and out but get a big turnover on the punt! It touched Cook and the Tigers recovered! This will be reviewed though.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:53:39

Ruling stands! Tigers’ ball! Boy did they need that!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:56:30

1st down Tigers at the UGA 36!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:57:36

Will Taylor comes in at QB with DJ lined up out wide but minimal gain.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 19:58:54

Good grief DJ throws a pick-six for 74 yards for the first score of the game. 1st INT of DJ’a career.

TIGERS TRAIL 7-0 in 2ND.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:05:47

Big 24-yard completion to Ngata on 2nd and 10! First down at 49 with 2:30 left in half.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:06:53

Pace stumbles but picks up 5 yards. 3rd and 5.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:07:19

FIRST DOWN NGATA! He’s having a half!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:10:18

Ugh Ngata wasn’t even looking for the pass. Tigers will punt again with a minute left in the half.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:12:48

That’s the end of the 1st half. Great job by the defense, but it’s been a long time since the offense had such a bad half!

TIGERS TRAIL 7-0 AT HALF.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:37:28

Tigers get a PI on 3rd and 9!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:38:21

Another 3rd and long coming. 3rd and 7 from the Tigers’ 39.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:39:28

FIRST DOWN NGATA! Thank goodness for him tonight!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:39:56

Ross on an end around for 5 yards.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:40:50

Good grief DJ sacked on 3rd and 7. Tigers to punt from their 44.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:49:35

INT SPECTOR!!! Tigers take over at UGA 33! Spector could have had a pick-six if he stayed on his feet. They better take advantage of this!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:50:29

Good grief DJ is sacked on back to back plays. Tigers punt on 4th and 20!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:52:16

Spiers punts it to the 14. Well, the D looks sensational. They are pitching a shutout. I never thought DJ and the offense would struggle like this.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 20:57:56

Ugh Georgia drives down to the Tigers' 30. Have to wonder if the Tigers' defense can keep this shutout going.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:00:18

Huge 3rd and goal coming from the 5.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:02:39

Tigers get a big stop! Georgia makes the field goal, but one big play for the Tigers could turn this whole thing around.

TIGERS TRAIL 10-0 WITH 2:38 LEFT IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:02:44

Tigers get a big stop! Georgia makes the field goal, but one big play for the Tigers could turn this whole thing around.

TIGERS TRAIL 10-0 WITH 2:38 LEFT IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:19:33

Murphy comes up with a big sack on 3rd down to force a punt! Well, at least the D is insanely good, as expected. Say what you will, but the Tigers are still in this thing with 13 minutes left.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:24:49

DJ TO NGATA FOR 44 YARDS TO THE UGA 42!!! Man, Ngata has made up for missing last season in this one game! Enormous 3rd and long conversion.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:26:25

First down Ladson! Ball at the UGA 20. Best drive of the night by far.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:27:24

PI in the end zone!!! First and goal at the 5!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:30:35

Ugh Tigers unable to get in the end zone, but at least Potter ended the shutout.

TIGERS TRAIL 10-3 WITH 9:08 LEFT.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:36:38

D forces a 3 and out! Georgia to punt!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:42:43

It's obvious these are SEC refs.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:46:56

Ngata with another huge catch for a first down! He has 110 of the Tigers' 172 yards!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 21:50:45

Ugh DJ throws high and misses EJ Williams on 4th and 5 to turn it over on downs. I'm kind of surprised Dabo went for that instead of playing field position with 3 timeouts left!

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 22:00:20

Well, White runs for a 1st down, and it looks like Georgia will be able to run out the clock. At least the Tigers weren't shut out, and they should stay in the top 5 to keep their streak going. They have the second-longest streak in the top 5 all-time at 56 weeks.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 22:00:52

This will be the Tigers' first back-to-back losses (although not in the same season) since 2011.

CUTrevor 2021-09-04 22:10:34

UGA takes a knee to run out the clock.

TIGERS LOSE 10-3.

It's not the end of the world, folks. At least we come away knowing that the Tigers' defense is arguably the best in the nation, as we thought. They will dominate every team they have left on the schedule. The offense obviously needs to get a lot better, and I think they will. Being exposed like this can only help them! I still believe this team will make the playoff and win the whole thing.

I'll have post-game interviews posted in a bit!
