Nuts - UGA 19 - GT 13

Well, I must admit that my boys did a much better job than I had thought they would do on Saturday.  UGA opened up a 16 - 0 lead at the half.  UGA's qback David Greene had to go out due to an injury to his hand.  Backup QB DJ Shockley threw a touchdown pass on his first series after replacing Greene to make it 16 - 0.  For the next 30 game minutes, the Tech defense took over and dominated the UGA offense.  DJ Shockley looked like he didn't know which end was up.  In the third quarter, Tech closed to 16-13.  While dominating the game, Tech could only muster 13 points due to a determined UGA defense.  Sensing things were in flux, David Greene came back in the game and led a UGA drive starting midway through the fourth quarter to get a field goal.  On their final series, Tech moved to the UGA 20 yard line with about a minute to go in the game.  On first down, there was a screen pass with no gain.  On second down, Tech qb Reggie Ball took an 11 yard sack trying to elude the UGA defense.  On third down, to stop the clock, Tech spiked the ball.  On fourth down, flushed out of the pocket and needing 21 yards for a first down, Reggie Ball through the football away and Tech turned the ball over on downs.  UGA ran one play and the game was over.  Congratulations to the UGA defense, they won the game for Georgia.  Better luck next year for my Tech boys.  Thank goodness we won't have to deal with David Greene who has been a Tech killer over the last four years.
