LSU Runs Over UGA

LSU headed to the Georgia Dome this past weekend for the SEC Championship game against the Georgia
Bulldogs.  A lot of fans were hoping that UGA would upset LSU who were the favorites to win this game.  Georgia got off to great start scoring 10 points in the first quarter.  Only thing is that was the only points that the Bulldogs scored.  LSU played a really sloppy 1st half and if UGA could have held on to the momentum in the 1st half they might have been able to upset the Tigers.  LSU went 3 downs and out for all 7 possessions in the 1st half and the only points scored for the Tigers came from a 62 yard punt return by Mathieu in the 2nd quarter.  The Dawgs went into halftime up 10-7 but they were unable to hold on to the lead in the 2nd half as LSU ran away with the game.  Georgia's Murray had 16 of 40 pass completions for 163 passing yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions.  LSU's Jefferson on the other hand had only 5 of 13 completions for 30 passing yards and 1 touchdown.  With the 42-10 victory of the Bulldogs the Tigers sealed their bid to the BCS title game.

UGA Defeats Vanderbilt

Scoring on six consecutive possessions in the game, Georgia held off to defeat Vanderbilt 33-28.  UGA needed to victory last night to remain in 2nd place in the SEC East behind the South Carolina Gamecocks.  The victory made UGA 4-1 in the SEC East Conference and 5-2 overall.

The game went down to the wire and came down to a penalty with 7 seconds left in the game.  With 1:12 left in the game Vanderbilt's Rodgers pass was intercepted by Georgia's Rambo which sealed the victory for the Bulldogs.  Vanderbilt continued to fight blocking Georgia's punt getting the ball on Georgia's 19 yard line.  During the punt Vanderbilt received a 5 yard penalty pushing the ball back to the 24 yard line and within 7 seconds the Bulldogs had officially gotten the victory over Vanderbilt.

Georgia's Aaron Murray had a career high in passing yards with 326 yards for 3 touchdowns and 1 interception.  UGA's Brown also had a great game with 4 receptions for 121 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns.
