Although the final score of the Georgia-LSU game was something I didn't care to see, I saw something more important on Saturday night. I saw a Bulldogs squad that is worth believing in. I couldn't say that on September 6th. But, these Dawgs are different. Their abundance of inexperience on the field is diminishing more and more every week. We continue to see young guys, such as Rantavious Wooten, Orson Charles, Marcus Dowtin, and Brandon Boykin step up and make an impact.
On Saturday, the Dawgs were manhandled in the first half of football. But, despite LSU's constant presence deep within Georgia territory, the Bulldog defense hunkered the hell down. The Dawgs made some tremendous plays in crucial moments, that kept the Tigers stuck on 6 first half points. During the 4th quarter, Georgia got up off the mat, one more time. After a devastating Tigers touchdown put LSU ahead 12-7, UGA responded. With 7 seconds shy of 3 minutes remaining, a previously inept offense flew down the field and reclaimed the lead at 13-12. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to beat LSU.
I'm disappointed, but as a Georgia fan, I am very proud of this team. They continue to fight through adversity, regardless of the situation. This team plays with a lot of heart. You see, they've got some JunkYard Dog-ness in 'em. Such tenacity and fire will serve them very well in the future. Look for the Dawgs to bounce back this week with a victory over Tennessee.
Go Dawgs!!
