The Georgia Bulldogs and Tennessee Volunteers played another all-time classic in Knoxville on Saturday night.
Georgia won the game, 44-41, in overtime. It was a great game with six lead changes between the two teams. It came down to the fact that Tennessee missed a field goal at the last second that would have won the game in regulation.
The Volunteers got the ball first in OT and were held to a field goal to start overtime. Then, Georgia took possession and scored a touchdown to win the game. Kirby Smart said that Tennessee played its heart out and deserved to win, and then he also said that he’s glad the Bulldogs never gave up. They never gave up, and that was the difference.
“I’m really proud of this team,” Smart said on the broadcast after the game. “Tennessee deserved to win this game. We didn’t play our best game. I got a lot of respect for the way they played, but these kids I got, they never quit.”
