After so many years of us seeing (and experiencing) BAMA winning in the last second, or piling on scores to a scoreboard in the last few minutes to make the win look greater then it actually was - it is nice to see the dawgs getting a bit of love! That missed field goal from the OSU kicker who is usually clutch was absolutely amazing. And, he missed it so badly. My wife and I joked that God must be a dawg fan because it looked like He might have sent some wind down to the closed stadium at just the right time...lol. BTW, "DOG" spelled backwards is "GOD". Just sayin'! LOL.
"The extremely inconsistent Pac-12 officiating crew, which apparently never has heard of an uncatchable ball and doesn’t know offensive holding when it sees it, threw a flag for targeting against Bullard for the hit on Harrison, but it was clear on video that he led with his shoulder, not his helmet, and the call was overturned after review. "
It's great to see the Dawgs able to overcome the unfortunate bad calls of the officiating crew. The memory of Tyler Simmons being called off sides in the 2018 CFPCG stills stings. That was a blocked punt that would have resulted in a touchdown, and a National Championship. Resiliency and composure aren't just words that this team throws around during post game interviews, they demonstrate resiliency and composure in the way they play, and how they handle adversity when it comes in various forms (including bad officiating).
GO DAWGS!
GoodtimeDawg: "My wife and I joked that God must be a dawg fan because it looked like He might have sent some wind down to the closed stadium at just the right time...lol." He did.
" That’s probably because of what we’ve seen time and time again this season: This Georgia team, despite all the talent lost to the NFL after last season, and its tendency to lose focus at times, knows how to win, whether playing with a lead or coming from behind."
Bill, I think your statement above pretty well sums up this entire season. Numerous games won with subpar performances, and then a couple of absolutely brilliant showings against Oregon and Tennessee. Everything else is a pretty up and down muddled mess.
But, as long as we keep winning, and despite fans frustration at times (mine included), I really don't care how we do it!!
GO DAWGS!!
Hopefully we’ll get a crew that will be impartial and fair to both teams and actually calls a holding penalty when it happens. What we watched the other night was ridiculous.
Maybe UGA should erect a statue of Brock Bowers left hand firmly planted on the turf just inside the out of bounds line
If Joe Moore were alive I believe he would demand that Michigan return the trophy they were given in his name. He would be embarrassed. Like UGA last year, TCU proved they are not the best line in football.
"The extremely inconsistent Pac-12 officiating crew, which apparently never has heard of an uncatchable ball"
I agree that was a ridiculous call. But to play devil's advocate, I've probably seen about a hundred PI calls levied where the receiver would have had to be 9-12 feet tall to have any chance of catching the ball since the last time I've seen one waived for that reason. So (putting aside the amount of actual contact, which I would have to go back and check) I wouldn't put that call entirely on this officiating crew, as throwing the flag in that situation has become the norm. It's gotten to the point where the NCAA should just remove that caveat from the rule, since there's clearly no intention of ever enforcing it. It wouldn't change anything, but at least it would be less aggravating.
Great article @BillKing , sir!!
You have me by just a few years….but we have definitely shared some of the same air and enjoyed some of the same memories! This game ranks up there with the 2017 Rose Bowl win for sure as far as championship importance and excitement!
Thanks for sharing and expounding on the game!
And I think the word from Larry Munson would be….”Miracle!!”
Go Dawgs!
If they were running off the field before the snap it's okay, but all 12 were set so it should have been called. Umpire behind the line is supposed to count the number of players. Dang, if he can't even count what is he doing calling major college games? lol Are they having problems hiring enough referees?
Love your post.
Go, Dawgs!
