National Championship Game Georgia Tech 28 Georgia 27 (since the online record has been deleted, this is from memory). GT struggled early, but managed to score right before the half to trail 7-14. Georgia Received the second half kick, but GT forced a rare stop, then drove the field to lock the score at 14. Georgia offense got it back together to score a TD early in the forth. GT hit some big plays to move up field and hurried to score in hopes Georgia would not be able to run out the clock and kick a game winner. Tied at 21 Georgia fell into 3rd and long with 1:12 left in the game and threw a pick on the sidelines. GT looked like for sure winners needing only a First down to run out the clock and kick the game winning FG. But on the first play The HB found a mountain of space up the middle and resisted his coaches instincts to fall down and win the game. Instead he scored to give the ball back to Georgia with over a minute and 3 timeouts. Georgia drove the field using all there timeouts and barely jumping out of bounds with 01 second remaining in the game. From the 8 yard line on the last play of the game Georgia got the TD in the back of the endzone. Their was also a roughing the passer on the play. Georgia decided to go for 2 but with no timeouts took to long to get the snap off. Five yards back Georgia went for it again from the 8 yard line. This time the pass was batted down, and the 2 loss underdog Yellowjackets won the national title. GG, GMONEY 15 I did not think i could beat you. Especially after failing my first 2 drives. But when I got my first ever stop against you at the start of the 3rd quarter, a ray of hope appeared. At least I think it was my first. Extra Thanks to the SIM gods for giving an opening game victory over a Superior ND team. The difference between me being in the title game or not.
SIGH. I must admit I was furious. I can't possibly have played better save for that stupid throw on the opening possession in the endzone, which proved the difference. One good thing that came out of it is that we feel we should win every other game this season. This was the most heart-wrenching loss I've ever been a part of in this game. If you're not throwing a game-winning hail mary your scoring 4 touchdowns without me touching the ball to win. good lord
