The planned entire team running into the end zone after scoring a TD was one of the best I have seen in this game. It was worth the penalty. Brilliant idea by Mark Ritch.
in 15 seasons he had 3 real chances and that was 02 07 and 12 and if he had converted just one of those his legacy is totally different and he probably would have finished his career at UGA until parkinsons diagnosis. his teams from 02-05 were great we had a chance in each of those seasons too win the sec and possibily the natty. florida got us in most of those years. 07 carolina got us early and 12 we were 5 yards away from a coronation national title type of game. the real shame is the big drop off from his first 5 years to his last 10. in his first 5 years 3 sec title game appearances, 2 sec championships. his last 10 years 2 sec game appearances no titles. he was a good coach just wasn't a great coach and in our conference if your going to consistently compete and be at the top of the sport you have to be great.
The game that turned UGA/FLA into a real rivalry again. 1990-2006: Georgia won only twice in 17 years Since this game: It’s split down the middle at 7-7
well 4 outta the last 5 - fla created a version of spurrier in kirby - his hate for fla will drive this rivalry back the other way - uga will dominate this rivalry when we look back from 2017 -2033 in the same manner
@@kevinensley6748 I agree totally this is how the rivalry goes, dawgs dominated up until the 50s then the gators had a slight edge during the 50s and 60s (very slight edge) then the dawgs dominated the 70s and 80s, then the gators 90s and 00s now the dawgs won last decade and will win this decade. that is the nature of the game because it's on a neutral site with half and half fans.
Well, Meyer leaving changed the momentum of the rivalry. After this game meyer beat us another 3 straight years, after that Richt had himself a 3 game winning streak, and ever since hiring Kirby we haven’t really looked back.
I didn't get into football until about i was 13 in '02. So for the majority of my Bulldawg fandom Mark Richt was my coach. When he got fired my initial reaction was dumbfounded. When it started to go around that Kirby Smart was going to be next Coach, i was mad as hell. The funniest part is i wanted Tom Herman as the next Coach, hindsight being what it is, its a great thing I don't have any pull in the UGA athletic department. Looking back, firing Richt was the best decision the AD made since hiring Richt. As much as i love coach Richt he just couldn't get the job done and with the talent he brought in we should have been much more competitive than we were. Now the drought is over and we got a Natty i can look back fondly on the Richt era
Tennessee was so weird this year. We destroyed Georgia. But got hammered by Florida and the last crappy Alabama team. Then we killed a good Arkansas and then almost beat the the would be national champions for a conference title. We made absolutely no sense
This was the childhood game that got me into football, raised as a Georgia fan. Major nostalgia here. God bless SEC rivalries.

Mark Richt had so much talent at UGA over the years. It's a shame that he didn't do more with it.
Should have won Natty in 2012 but we don’t know how to spike a football and get 2 plays at the 5 yard line
He had to play Florida each year. 😊
Probably would’ve won a natty in 07 if he didn’t lose to South Carolina

It's always a rivalry no matter what it's just a matter of competitiveness
That SEC on CBS intro is something for the Hall of Fame.
Florida didn't know how to respond when the entire Georgia team ran on the field.
they responded the next year
@@nickw2513 pretty sure he was talking about that year though
2 timeouts with 45 seconds left in the game was the response
@@MuFDvr226 Piss poor response! 😂
@@jamesalexander3837You’re right. 49-10 was the much better response.
The only time Tim Tebow lost to Georgia. What Mark Ricth did sending the entire team out after the first touchdown paid off, and Georgia won 42-30.
Man I hope Stafford can shine with the rams
He is 🔥🔥
Bros having a good szn
Just won the superbowl in his first try

God I hated Tebow back then. As I've gotten older, I have a lot of respect for him and his convictions.
This was the year I was born I love my dawgs GO DAWGS
what happened the next year?
@@nickw2513 congrats. Now what happened 2 weeks ago? Stop living in the past. Stupid gaytor fan.
All I can say is Flippin south carolina.
Right

as a lions fan who loves stafford but i am a gator fan, mid 2000s florida georgia games are very weird for me
Knowshon Moreno. Have a day!
188 rushing yards. 3 TD'S!
Go Dawgs1
Stafford vs Tebow. Go Dawgs!
Best...game...ever.
what happened the next year?
@@nickw2513 what happened last season? See how that works? Good luck with “new coach U” can’t seem to keep one guy for more than a few years.
12:06 is just crazy AF
That may be the best catch I've ever seen
Best celebration ever
A classic.They made the decision to WIN,after a litany of gator rebuke.UNDENIABLE on that one.
God I forget how much Gary and Verne used to glaze Tebow 😅😂
Mark Richt was the best coach at Georgia!!!
We freaked Tebow up!
I remember where I was..do you
not true, it's all about leaving a foundation for others to build on. Coach Richt did what he was called to do.
Cheesy A** play call by richt running everyone on the field. This is also the game Tebow hurt his arm. That was more the deciding factor in the game
