This past Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs beat their in-state rival: Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech started the game in hopes of snapping the six year losing streak against Georgia. Georgia started the game in hopes of reaching a BCS bowl in January. Of course, only one team's hopes came true, and this time it was Georgia's.
Playing for His Job
For anyone who didn't already know it: Chan Gailey was playing for his job on Saturday. In his six years at Georgia Tech, Gailey was 44-32 overall, and never had a losing season. The only problem: no wins over arch-rival, you guessed it, Georgia. The athletic director at Tech announced that Tech's assistant coaches will coach the team through it's December bowl game and that Gailey will not return.
Stats from Bobby Dodd Stadium
Thomas Brown had a good day in Atlanta, along with his quarterback Matthew Stafford. Brown rushed for 139 yards and one touchdown, while Stafford went 14 for 29 passes and ran 31 yards for a touchdown, catching Georgia Tech completely off guard.
The usual super star Knowshon Moreno didn't have the day he is used to having and rushed only 17 times for a mere 45 yards. It's OK Moreno shake it off and come back strong in the bowl game.
Massaquoi had the most yards through the air. He finished the day with 6 receptions for 74 yards and one touchdown.

Bad News from Lexington
Early in the third quarter, the Bulldogs' head coach got some news from Lexington that made him believe the day would turn out perfect. He heard that Kentucky had made a comeback and had beaten the Vols of Tennessee which would send his team to the SEC championshiop. Unfortunately, he found out later the news he had received was false. The true story was that the Wildcats had come back, but were going into overtime in Kentucky.
Just as the third quarter was coming to a close, they learned that Tennessee had held on to their early lead and beaten Kentucky after four overtimes.
If anybody else is like me, they were flipping back and forth between the Georgia game and the Kentucky game. I was pulling for Kentucky and thought they were going to pull it off, until the last overtime when Andre Woodson fell and couldn't find anyone for the two point conversion. Oh well, I guess we can sit at home and watch Tennessee get slaughtered by LSU.

Rivalry Saturday
Saturday was rivalry Saturday in college football. Georgia played Georgia Tech, Florida played Florida State, and Alabama played Auburn just to name a few. I had a great Saturday flipping back and forth between these games, but my favorite was of course the 31-17 win over Tech.
