It's tough enough to hang with a super heavyweight like Georgia over 60 minutes. But, to hang tough for eight overtime periods requires a serious commitment. Georgia Tech played their hearts out tonight. It's just a shame that someone had to lose.
The Coach hug & talk at the end is the epitome of class & great sportsmanship. Both are great coaches, your programs are very lucky. With age we all appreciate good competition more and usually have empathy for others. The longer you been around, the more you've lost. We all know that pain. Great season to both programs.
As a Tennessee fan, I totally get that. We’ve been through so much heartbreak, and sometimes it just feels like college football is a waste of our time. It’s a gut punch!
@@JohnBrad-zg3qsImagine being an Ohio State fan and going through that nearly every year. Always perpetually a contender but also a constant disappointment at the same time.
Been a fan for about 35 yrs now. I'm 45yrs old. And this one was special to me. My dad just passed about three weeks prior. What a damn game. You had the best seat in the house dad. Miss you and Go Dawgs!!!
Been to a lot of UGA games in my life and that was up there with some of the craziest. Dawgs got dominated for 3/4s of the game and found a way to win. It may not be much solace for Tech fans but what I saw from Tech was what I've seen from Tech since Key became HC, and not too different from Kirby Smart teams. You're going to be in a street fight. Good game, Tech!
@@dougtaylor9533 Yes, this one was longer in terms of number of OTs reached. However, LSU/Texas A&M probably lasted longer in actual time spent playing.
Hi. Illinois fan here. I wouldn't be so sure. I'm not just saying the 9 OT spectacle we had vs. PSU was longer because more OT's. No, that game took foreeeever. Lots of injuries/injury timeouts. And so many penalties (mainly caused by us, lol). And, of course, the longest OT stretch yet, 9 OT's
Accidentally slept through this game. Guardian angel was looking put fr. I'd have had a heart attack after we went to OT after failing a dumbass 2pt trying to rush a comeback. Then gave up another TD. Yeah thank God I missed this one

@@zachtm4bruh shut up and take the loss. It was wishful thinking GT was ever gonna beat Georgia lmao! Shit isn't rigged. I'm sure you weren't saying the Georgia Bama game was rigged when Georgia got screwed on 6 different calls that led to 3 alabama TD's smfh..
13:21 I’d love to be a fly on the coaches shoulders to hear what was said there…that’s the longest I’ve ever seen two head coaches huddle together. Huge game for both teams.
Georgia Tech gave them all they could handle. I think the transfer portal is becoming the great equalizer in college football. These kids don't have to ride the bench anymore as backups. Coaches loved having deep benches because not only do they help when your starters go down, but you don't have to face them on other teams either. Georgia and Alabama and Clemson have been getting rocked. The SEC is more spread out. There are teams out there who are seriously good enough to beat anyone but have some losses like Vandy, Georgia Tech, Colorado, and Boise St. College football is wide open with all these upstarts. No school is safe. As an ASU fan, I love how the conferences have changed, as well as how transfers have made it possible to put together good teams if you have solid coaches and no 5-stars.
It's going to be good until boosters get tired of paying $10 million for rosters without any guarantee of them staying beyond 1 year. Then they're going to push for "contracts"
I think ultimately saban was the biggest cheater in cfb. The nil and transfer portal ultimately ended his career because he couldn't cheat and pay under the table. But like u said, bama had 5 stars 3 and four deep on the roster and you ultimately had bench rider 5 star players for 2 years and maybe got to sniff the field one year and then off to the nfl. Guys can go to other schools now and get the LEGAL bag of money and start instantly. Ole Nicky didn't like the transfer portal either because no longer did a kid have to take the bag and be stuck on the team. Does it cause problems with the fan base as these guys are yearly free agents? Definitely, but that's what it is now. Notice how fast saban left after they came out with nil. He stayed 3 years because it took time for the rosters to start to level out and he knew it was game over. He couldn't tarnish all those nattys and undefeated seasons by putting up 3 and 4 loss seasons which would be the norm now anyways. The top teams always has like 0 or 1 loss, but now your going to see teams in the top 12 with 2 and 3 or even 4 in a few years. Just like the nfl. A four loss season is a good year.
I think it's all very exciting. I'm enjoying it while it lasts. I'm also a Texas Longhorn fan, and I know that either way, Texas ain't gonna be hurt by any of it.
Definitely doesn't seem like much bothers him. I was thinking of Dart and making a bad throw and then making 3 bad throws because he was in his own head. Beck doesn't suffer from that for sure.
I don’t think Back was the problem. All the drops by the receivers and the OL not gelling because of injuries for most of the year were the main issues. That caused Back to try to make things happen, and it led to the INTs.
This game started on Friday night and ended in the wee minutes of Saturday morning. That was an incredible game. It was truly anyone’s game, but the Dawgs stepped up when it mattered most. 👏
The ref was looking at his pay-check, lol. The call came in from SEC headquarters that said "do what you have to do in order to ensure GT doesn't win this game" and then we saw exactly that.
Looking back, GT should have just gone for two after the 1st OT touchdown and sealed it. Would have been risky but geez if they would have converted it.
I'm an ACC follower, an FSU fan with nothing to celebrate this year except THIS EXCEPTIONAL ALL-ROUND GAME PLAYED BY AN ACC TEAM -- great game!!! Georgia Tech; hold your heads high, every one of you Ramblin' Wreck players!!! Y'all played so well!!!
EIGHT overtimes? Holy football, Batman! Okay, being totally honest, I’m not really a football fan. And - since I don’t and never have lived there - I don’t really have any interest in an in-state Georgia rivalry. But this was one of the most exciting sporting events I’ve ever watched. Congratulations to Georgia for the win and congratulations to Georgia Tech for leaving it ALL on the field. Both teams should be very proud.
IMO this was one of the great football games in the sport's history. You had heated rivals...one a dynasty of current times and the other a dynasty from the distant past...located less than 75 miles from each other. There were no fights. There were no incidents of bottle throwing from the crowd. Both teams played their asses off and both could walk off the field knowing they gave everything they had. I saw a great game and, more importantly, I saw something rarely seen in modern-day America...mutual respect. Thanks and kudos to the Bulldogs and the Yellow Jackets.
Georgia Tech displayed several examples of "not closing it out". There were a couple of Georgia Tech drives in the first half that _were not closed out_ and ended in field goal attempts. And of course the game itself in the 4th quarter.
@@kellyfontes7757Sucks that he was the one to fumble because he had a phenomenal game otherwise. Most rushing yards on the team with 5 total touchdowns. They would’ve lose by 20 without him
It’s horrible entertainment. Football is a 4 down sport. If they want to shorten the yards to cover per OT attempt, make it alternating 1st and goals from the 10 IMO. That way there’s also the toss up of if you go for it on 4th or take the 3 points. Offensive penalties mean something again as well.
What a Game!!! Thank God My Dawgs came out on Top, this Game aged me 10years😮. Old Fashioned Hate was it, Georgia Tech came to Wreck Georgias season with that one, i give them the upmost Respect with that Effort. After many years i believe Tech has found its Coach, this series is Back to the Rivalry it once was!!! Mark my words, one of these match ups is gonna be a Battle between Top5️⃣ teams with major Playoff implications. Its gonna be SEC Champ vs ACC Champ, watch & see🤔
that's what I was thinking. And remember: Key gave away two games by starting Pyron. With King, GT definitely beats Va Tech, and quite possibly beats ND (I went to that, and ND was not really that awesome). With Philo, GT beats Va Tech, lower percent beats ND....GT will likely demolish our bowl opponent. Sort of a bummer in that this should have been an 8-9 win team, had King been healthy all year....
But it wasn't Head to Head..(or helmet contact). Nor did he (def) leave his feet. I saw nuthin wrong with the contact. P.S. I am Not an SEC fan but that was one helluva game
@kdog2646 i just watched again.. (slo-mo) King dropped his head as def (head) was already down..(prolly as a reflex) to accept the hit. BangBang play in real time. Hard to call. Even announcing didnt mention it. It's tough to take i know.
GT had this game won. All they had to do was run out the clock in the 4th quarter. I bet Kirby Smart will be on the lookout for somebody who can consistently catch the football for next year. This game should have been a blowout. Props to the GT program for making this a great game.
@@ImRanchWilderwhat about missed call Jesse Palmer pointed out on TV should've been called against GT in first half, probably cost UGa a TD and would've changed whole game or all the conspicuous GT injuries and slow to get up when dogs actually started to move the ball? Thought Ole Miss was playing...Lots of missed holding calls too. But hey the UGa coaches screwed up dogs in beginning. Why not QB sneak for a half a yard or just kick a FG on fourth down? Greedy dumb call. No need for OT if got FG by either one or PAT. Should've ended 28-27 also odd ...lots of ifs and buts that game especially
8 OT at home to get past tech... look I know tech isnt a terrible team but if GA was as good as espn likes to say, no way it should take 8 oT's to win.
Don't follow either team, but glad I stumbled across this; most amazing finish I've ever seen. A shame either team had to lose such effort by both, but, glad for the home team, and that unbeaten-at-home streak.
This was so bizarre my wife even watched the whole thing! Can you imagine being one of those Georgia fans who left early because it was a semi blowout for Tech?
I’ve personally been to more UGA-GT games than I can remember. This has to be the greatest game I’ve ever seen these two teams play. Even better than in 98 when Bobo found the end zone with no time left and they finally beat those suckers for the first time as seniors. The party in the lot after that game was legendary. The drum line came out and joined. It was amazing. But this game has to top that. Absolutely. Tech is back and we should be completely on notice now. A healthy rivalry is always good for the state of Georgia. Good job little brother. Gave us a hell of a fight. 😅 Go Dawgs.
I think the average 2 pt conversion rate is about 46%. In the OTs, the teams combined for 3 of 14, or 21%. Georgia Tech was a mere 1 of 7, 14%. My goodness did these teams make the conversion look hard. Add in the miss on Georgia's curious 3rd Q decision to go for two and the combined rate for the game was 3 of 15, or 20%. Yeesh.
i think stakes are partially at play here. there is a real factor to how much it matters to the players on the field. a normal 2 point conversion usually doesn’t win a game decisively the way a 2 point conversion in overtime does.
That 3rd quarter 2pt attempt made me so mad. I always say, never go for 2 except for late in the game when you absolutely have to. If you’re going to go for 2 that early, you might as well go for 2 every time. You never know how the score is going to evolve and change with that much game left to play.
Kirby Smart after the game, “We are all out of 2 point plays now.” Wait, isn’t every play in your playbook designed to pick up at least 3 yards? Notice we won on a flipping run up the middle?
@@NCHunter1224sort of. Being on the 3 yard line means the secondary doesn't have to worry about the deep ball, so it changes how you can draw up plays.
The PI call against Tech should've never been allowed. From every angle, that ball was tipped at scrimmage. However, by NCAA standards, it makes perfect sense. There is no way they could justify a 3 loss team in the playoffs regardless of what a favorite of the system they are. This is the same thing that used to happen for Alabama when they were the perennial favorites. 8 overtimes against Tech? A team that by all measurement should never have stood any chance? This is getting out of control.
That fumble was what really turned the tide in the game, and when you face a team like the Dawgs, you need to put them away because they've been here before
All the scuffles and brawls and attempted flag plantings going on this weekend, and meanwhile, these two teams had a war of attrition, on a Friday night, that ended in a showing of respect and class.
Georgia tech was the first sports team i ever started following as a kid. Became a dawgs fan when kirby stepped in and i love both teams equally. What a game and GO DAWGS
This game, along with other close matchups where heavy favorites like Georgia with a 19.5-point spread were pushed to the limit, shows how much the new college football talent system has leveled the playing field. Great players are now spread across more teams, not just the traditional powerhouses. It’s awesome to see fewer dominant, undefeated teams running the table and more competitive games. This playoff is shaping up to be wild-hopefully full of emotional, March Madness-style matchups. Let’s go football!
@@Grae2079 honestly i see him as a backup. He won't transfer well. He takes hits like cam but doesn't have cams build. His passing has greatly improved though.
aight, lemme say this: as a uga fan, i gotta give props where props are due. georgia tech? y’all came with it. that game was a brawl, and trust me, i know what it feels like to take some heavy hits as a dawg fan. tech gave us everything y’all had, and it showed. the cards might not’ve fallen your way this time, but don’t let that dim the shine. that was a phenomenal game on both sides, and y’all left it all on the field. keep ya head high, tech fam-y’all got nothing to hang it low for.
@@Grae2079no, the ones that missed blatant targeting on King. The ones that let ugay players grab DLs facemasks on 3rd and 9 to allow a first down instead of a sack. The ones that make blatant PI calls on 4th down passes to extend the drive. Room temperature IQ f*cks like you won't see that though. You'll scream go dAwGS and drink away.
The referees were clearly influencing the game with missed calls, including a non-targeting decision, overlooked holdings, and a questionable pass interference after a tipped pass. It's interesting that the announcers chose to ignore these errors, offering no replays or consulting a rules expert for clarification. Unsurprisingly, they are ESPN employees-what a "chocker"! 😂
The pass was barely tipped so obviously no refs are gonna see it, especially since the play is unreviewable. It wasn’t targeting, he hit his chest, not his head and he wasn’t defenseless
I guess you missed King saying after the game that it was a good hit and that Jackson's head had hit the ball. You also missed a blatant targeting by GT that wasn't called. It's okay, I still remember the first football game I watched too.
@@JohnSmith-zr9by That doesn't matter. What matters is the technique. You can't lead with the crown of your helmet to make forcible contact. Doesn't matter where he makes the hit. Learn the damn rule. It's there to protect both the offensive and defensive player, because that can not only injure the runner, but the defender can easily fuck his neck up doing that.
@@theteeman you mean the sec championship that they wouldnt have made it to had any of the absurdley blown calls not been made? Sure bud. Georgia is fraudulent as hell this year
Huh. I felt bad about falling asleep before the start of the 6th OT…but apparently there were more to go! So, okay, I was never making it to 8. Nice try, Tech.
Game of the year?
Nah. Alabama vs UGA was the best. Oregon vs OSU was also better imo
Waiting on tonight's Texas vs Texas A&M game.
3 of the 15 total 2 point conversion attempts were successful.
You gotta do the CSU vs Utah State ending
Nah most boring game of the year. Like if you agree.
It's tough enough to hang with a super heavyweight like Georgia over 60 minutes. But, to hang tough for eight overtime periods requires a serious commitment. Georgia Tech played their hearts out tonight. It's just a shame that someone had to lose.

As someone who never watches college football, I found some of these rules baffling.
I have been looking for highlights showing the full coaches at the end. That was special. Lots of respect.
I'm not sure the trading 2 point conversions format is really working as intended.
It’s horrible entertainment. Football is a 4 down sport. If they want to shorten the yards to cover per OT attempt, make it alternating 1st and goals from the 10 IMO. That way there’s also the toss up of if you go for it on 4th or take the 3 points. Offensive penalties mean something again as well.
Cuz of one game? Way to kneejerk. A real football fan knows how very rare this is.
Best to just call it a tie, like the old days, and go home.
@@julietemily8157that would be nice but I would say it starts at the five they seem like they want it short
@@billybob042665nah
What a Game!!! Thank God My Dawgs came out on Top, this Game aged me 10years😮. Old Fashioned Hate was it, Georgia Tech came to Wreck Georgias season with that one, i give them the upmost Respect with that Effort. After many years i believe Tech has found its Coach, this series is Back to the Rivalry it once was!!! Mark my words, one of these match ups is gonna be a Battle between Top5️⃣ teams with major Playoff implications. Its gonna be SEC Champ vs ACC Champ, watch & see🤔
I don’t care who says otherwise, Georgia Tech blew the game.
What about the bad pi call and the no call targeting
Eberflus says hold my beer
Yes they did. They were up 14 with 5:30 left.
Don’t like the refs? Don’t leave the game up to them.
Sure but the refs helped a lot
You turds with your ref excuses. STFU ad get back in your basement
Was there every body left with 4 mins left. We did the Dawg march back to downtown. 1 am
For a change, the tagline "insane" actually matches the game
Tech might be the best 5 loss team ever. They fight their ass off every game
that's what I was thinking. And remember: Key gave away two games by starting Pyron. With King, GT definitely beats Va Tech, and quite possibly beats ND (I went to that, and ND was not really that awesome). With Philo, GT beats Va Tech, lower percent beats ND....GT will likely demolish our bowl opponent. Sort of a bummer in that this should have been an 8-9 win team, had King been healthy all year....
This was the game of the year
12:57 "Oh, it's great in eight!"
Razorback fan here,those yellow jackets have some fire in that tail
One of the craziest football games that I have ever seen!
That was a penalty on the fumble. Leading with his head
So was the facemask on cash jones and the holding on kings rushing TD.
But it wasn't Head to Head..(or helmet contact). Nor did he (def) leave his feet. I saw nuthin wrong with the contact.
P.S. I am Not an SEC fan but that was one helluva game
@@LarsFunkRoadhe's talking about the fumble with two minutes left. It was both crown of the helmet and head to head.
@kdog2646 i just watched again.. (slo-mo) King dropped his head as def (head) was already down..(prolly as a reflex) to accept the hit. BangBang play in real time. Hard to call. Even announcing didnt mention it.
It's tough to take i know.
@@LarsFunkRoad It was?
GT had this game won. All they had to do was run out the clock in the 4th quarter. I bet Kirby Smart will be on the lookout for somebody who can consistently catch the football for next year. This game should have been a blowout. Props to the GT program for making this a great game.
As a neutral fan this is the most entertaining game one could ask for. Wow!
This game brought a whole new meaning to OT. I was listening on the radio and was in disbelief!😅
Hands down game of the year.
I’m curious, what’s the longest college football game ever? Probably Penn State Illinois nine overtime.
HELL Yeah Babe , GEORGIA BULLDOGS 😃😃🥳🥳🥳🤙🏼🤙🏼
A classic in State rivalry, no losers here, great game.
Dawgs lucky as shit that King fumbled that ball!!😂
Missed targeting call. Georgia gets the break. I guess the SEC wanted to make sure an SEC team got in the playoffs. Very unfair to Tech.
Lots of missed calls. Here's two: Gt pass interference no call in OT. Georgia offensive holding no call in OT.
Watch it again: he was running straight toward Haynes and hit his chest at the ball-- not targeting- a big clean ass hit
@@ImRanchWilderwhat about missed call Jesse Palmer pointed out on TV should've been called against GT in first half, probably cost UGa a TD and would've changed whole game or all the conspicuous GT injuries and slow to get up when dogs actually started to move the ball? Thought Ole Miss was playing...Lots of missed holding calls too. But hey the UGa coaches screwed up dogs in beginning. Why not QB sneak for a half a yard or just kick a FG on fourth down? Greedy dumb call. No need for OT if got FG by either one or PAT. Should've ended 28-27 also odd ...lots of ifs and buts that game especially
Fake shit
@@ImRanchWilder True that. A game that long is gonna have lots of missed calls.
8 OT at home to get past tech... look I know tech isnt a terrible team but if GA was as good as espn likes to say, no way it should take 8 oT's to win.
Welcome to rivalry week!
As a UGA fan, I completely agree. I loved this win all the same, but wow…we have a lot of work to do this week.
It's the fact that this is just a chaos football year with no dominant team. Enjoy it for what it is.
Totally agree - 8 OTs to get past GT? Really? GA should be embarrassed.
Rivalry week does that.
Don't follow either team, but glad I stumbled across this; most amazing finish I've ever seen. A shame either team had to lose such effort by both, but, glad for the home team, and that unbeaten-at-home streak.
How many heart attaches !!!!
This was so bizarre my wife even watched the whole thing! Can you imagine being one of those Georgia fans who left early because it was a semi blowout for Tech?
I’ve watched that game on tv between yesterday night and until midnight tonight today
I think I have maxed out on my ability to watch 2-point attempts.
People hate on the Dawgs but we always play in all the instant classics
I love the Dawgs , I love the SEC I love the Gators but the only Day I am against Georgia is the Gators vs Dawgs
A nail biter indeed.--too the very end. Congrats Bulldogs.
Take a shot everytime the announcer says, "THESE BULLDOG SENIORS HAVE NEVER LOST A GAME AT HOME!"
Yeah, I am UGA fan and that was getting a bit old.
He's only seventeen vibes.
I’ve personally been to more UGA-GT games than I can remember. This has to be the greatest game I’ve ever seen these two teams play. Even better than in 98 when Bobo found the end zone with no time left and they finally beat those suckers for the first time as seniors. The party in the lot after that game was legendary. The drum line came out and joined. It was amazing.
But this game has to top that. Absolutely. Tech is back and we should be completely on notice now. A healthy rivalry is always good for the state of Georgia. Good job little brother. Gave us a hell of a fight. 😅 Go Dawgs.
I think the average 2 pt conversion rate is about 46%. In the OTs, the teams combined for 3 of 14, or 21%. Georgia Tech was a mere 1 of 7, 14%. My goodness did these teams make the conversion look hard. Add in the miss on Georgia's curious 3rd Q decision to go for two and the combined rate for the game was 3 of 15, or 20%. Yeesh.
Huh
i think stakes are partially at play here. there is a real factor to how much it matters to the players on the field. a normal 2 point conversion usually doesn’t win a game decisively the way a 2 point conversion in overtime does.
That 3rd quarter 2pt attempt made me so mad. I always say, never go for 2 except for late in the game when you absolutely have to. If you’re going to go for 2 that early, you might as well go for 2 every time. You never know how the score is going to evolve and change with that much game left to play.
Kirby Smart after the game, “We are all out of 2 point plays now.”
Wait, isn’t every play in your playbook designed to pick up at least 3 yards? Notice we won on a flipping run up the middle?
@@NCHunter1224sort of. Being on the 3 yard line means the secondary doesn't have to worry about the deep ball, so it changes how you can draw up plays.
Wow! Incredible game!
The PI call against Tech should've never been allowed. From every angle, that ball was tipped at scrimmage.
However, by NCAA standards, it makes perfect sense. There is no way they could justify a 3 loss team in the playoffs regardless of what a favorite of the system they are. This is the same thing that used to happen for Alabama when they were the perennial favorites.
8 overtimes against Tech? A team that by all measurement should never have stood any chance? This is getting out of control.
Cry harder. They gave tech an extra free chance from the 1 for no reason. Multiple missed calls against Tech. Don't cry just because you lost.
Been very critical of beck and bobo this season but I gotta give them both credit in this one!
Dan Jackson is going to play on Sundays for a long time
What kind of overtime rules are these?
I want a personal handwritten apology from Kirby for making me stay up so long lol
That was the best!!! No one lost here!!!! Great football. 🏈 That’s y I love college football ❤
That fumble was what really turned the tide in the game, and when you face a team like the Dawgs, you need to put them away because they've been here before
All the scuffles and brawls and attempted flag plantings going on this weekend, and meanwhile, these two teams had a war of attrition, on a Friday night, that ended in a showing of respect and class.
Georgia tech was the first sports team i ever started following as a kid. Became a dawgs fan when kirby stepped in and i love both teams equally. What a game and GO DAWGS
bandwagon
This game, along with other close matchups where heavy favorites like Georgia with a 19.5-point spread were pushed to the limit, shows how much the new college football talent system has leveled the playing field. Great players are now spread across more teams, not just the traditional powerhouses. It’s awesome to see fewer dominant, undefeated teams running the table and more competitive games. This playoff is shaping up to be wild-hopefully full of emotional, March Madness-style matchups. Let’s go football!
3 of the 15 total 2 point conversion attempts for the game were successful.
That GT tight end is a beast
As a UGA fan, I have to say that King looks like a 1st round talent
Don't think so, maybe a backup or another position
@@Nic_P85could see him like a Taysom hill kinda player.
As a tech fan, he's great but thats a stretch.
@@kdog2646 he’s got talent. And athleticism he won’t be a Tom Brady but he’ll make it to the league.
@@Grae2079 honestly i see him as a backup. He won't transfer well. He takes hits like cam but doesn't have cams build. His passing has greatly improved though.
GT played great Ball this Year Starting against FSU
aight, lemme say this: as a uga fan, i gotta give props where props are due. georgia tech? y’all came with it. that game was a brawl, and trust me, i know what it feels like to take some heavy hits as a dawg fan. tech gave us everything y’all had, and it showed. the cards might not’ve fallen your way this time, but don’t let that dim the shine. that was a phenomenal game on both sides, and y’all left it all on the field. keep ya head high, tech fam-y’all got nothing to hang it low for.
Fine example of prevent defense value when the defense during the game was more than sufficient.
Upset denied thanks to a typical Atlanta choke.
Upset denied thanks to the typical SEC officiating.
@@SuperSparrow45 Where?
@@SuperSparrow45you mean the refs that put GT on the one yard line and they failed to convert?
Upset denied to teach Tech fans the needed lesson that they root for the wrong school.
@@Grae2079no, the ones that missed blatant targeting on King. The ones that let ugay players grab DLs facemasks on 3rd and 9 to allow a first down instead of a sack. The ones that make blatant PI calls on 4th down passes to extend the drive. Room temperature IQ f*cks like you won't see that though. You'll scream go dAwGS and drink away.
There needs to be a complete overhaul of college OT rules. It’s just stupid lmao
The referees were clearly influencing the game with missed calls, including a non-targeting decision, overlooked holdings, and a questionable pass interference after a tipped pass. It's interesting that the announcers chose to ignore these errors, offering no replays or consulting a rules expert for clarification. Unsurprisingly, they are ESPN employees-what a "chocker"! 😂
The pass was barely tipped so obviously no refs are gonna see it, especially since the play is unreviewable.
It wasn’t targeting, he hit his chest, not his head and he wasn’t defenseless
I guess you missed King saying after the game that it was a good hit and that Jackson's head had hit the ball. You also missed a blatant targeting by GT that wasn't called. It's okay, I still remember the first football game I watched too.
@@rigby3620 That's what they're paid to do and why replay exists.
@@JohnSmith-zr9by That doesn't matter. What matters is the technique. You can't lead with the crown of your helmet to make forcible contact. Doesn't matter where he makes the hit. Learn the damn rule. It's there to protect both the offensive and defensive player, because that can not only injure the runner, but the defender can easily fuck his neck up doing that.
How any games have been decided by a defensive pass interference call. The most impactful call in football !
They could always take passing out of the game, problem solved.
There is absolutely no way that Georgia should be #7. Two losses and a near-loss to an unranked team.
Bama, Pen, and Mia should be un ranked then by that god like logic lol😂
@MellennialCome-up Agree. That's right.
nope bot
@@coyfrasure Right. Somebody has made a bot to attack Georgia's (mediocre) football team.
@ yet have more ranked wins than any team in the country please never speak again you bot
Wow one of the greatest games of all time.
GT blew a 17-0 lead against UGA! What a game and Kirby Smart found a way to rally his team back before the SEC Championship game
You mean the refs didn’t want to see their precious georgia get left out of the playoffs
@@edun4513 Here comes the excuses! UGA could still be in the playoffs picture with winning the SEC Championship.
@@theteeman you mean the sec championship that they wouldnt have made it to had any of the absurdley blown calls not been made? Sure bud. Georgia is fraudulent as hell this year
@@edun4513and this LIAR is still spew his jealous vitriol.
@@edun4513 Baby wanna bottle?
Huh. I felt bad about falling asleep before the start of the 6th OT…but apparently there were more to go!
So, okay, I was never making it to 8. Nice try, Tech.
