Georgia Vs. LSU

Hello Friends! This week I am talking Dawgs & Tigers!

Well the Bayou Bengals came over to Athens between the hedges. LSU last week had to put up a great goal line stand to get out of Starkville, Mississippi alive. This week the Dawgs that they will be trying to tame will be a little better.

 

Lets talk about the 1st half. LSU dominated the time of possession and plays ran, but all LSU could do was score 2 field goals to take a 6-0 half-time lead. LSU should have probably been up 16-0 at the half, but Georgia’s defense played well on some plays. On the first drive of the game, LSU drove the ball down the field, when Jordan Jefferson threw an interception in the end zone to Brandon Boykin, who showed he was a freshman by trying to run it out.

Late in the half, Les Miles made the dumbest call any coach could have made. He tried to make a 1st down on 4th and inches, when the smart call would have been to kick the field goal to take a 9-0 lead at the half.

I guess you are wondering why I haven’t talked about the Dawgs. Well, there wasn’t really anything worth talking about. Joe Cox was cold out of the box and the running game was nonexistent. The only play worth mentioning was a 27yd pass to AJ Green.

Now for the 2nd half…

LSU got the ball and the Dawgs defense shut the door on them. For the most part, GA took control of the game in the 3rd quarter, but still scored no points. It wasn’t until the 4th quarter that the Dawgs cracked the scoreboard, when Joe Cox threw a 1yd pass to Shaun Chapas for a TD. The Dawgs led 7-6. It wasn’t until late in the 4th quarter with 2min 53sec left in the game that Charles Scott had a 2yd run for a go-ahead TD. LSU tried a 2pt conversion, but came up short, but ahead on the scoreboard 12-7.

Now Joe Cox and the Bulldogs (1min 9sec left) went down and scored on a TD pass to AJ Green. But the Dawgs missed a 2pt conversion but led the game 13-12.

It seemed Joe Cox had grown up and led the Dawgs to a big win against LSU, but LSU took the ball after the kickoff and Charles Scott broke Dawg fans hearts with a 33yd TD. This time the 2pt conversion was good giving the Tigers a 20-13 win.

In closing, this game was a thriller until the end but you hate to see anyone loose. Jordan Jefferson was 18 for 27 for 212yds and 1 INT. Charles Scott ran 19 times for 95yds and 2 TD. Joe Cox was 18 for 34 for 229yds, 2TD & 1INT. AJ Green caught 5 passes for 99yds and 1TD. I know someone has to loose because a tie is like kissing your sister. But a bright point for GA is they may have found them a new running back with Washan Ealey, a true freshman who ran 8 times for 32yds. He gave the Dawgs a spark in their running game.

So friends, I will say goodnight & remember……

ROLL TIDE!
