Georgia Bulldogs football: ten best games of the decade

We take a look back at Georgia’s top ten games of the decade. The Bulldogs football team played in some classic games in the 2010s

4. November 16th, 2013: Auburn 43, Georgia 38

In one of the most memorable seasons of college football ever, the Auburn Tigers couldn’t be put away in the closing minutes of any game (we’re looking at you too Alabama) until the National Championship. The Tigers entered the game as the number seven team in the nation. Georgia checked in at 25th.

Aaron Murray, Todd Gurley and company responded well to Auburn’s initial onslaught in Jordan-Hare. Trailing 37-17 in the fourth quarter the Bulldogs scored three straight touchdowns to take a narrow one point lead over the Tigers. Georgia’s defense stopped Auburn until the Tigers had one final effort on fourth and eighteen:

Aaron Murray brought the UGA offense all the way to the Auburn 20 before failing to get a throw to the end zone with three seconds left. This loss wasn’t Murray’s fault.

3. January 8th, 2018: Alabama 26, Georgia 23 (OT)

In another all-SEC National Championship Game, the Georgia Bulldogs came out to play in the first half against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Georgia took a 13-0 lead into halftime before Alabama and Nick Saban benched starting quarterback Jalen Hurts for Tua Tagovailoa.

The momentum shifted immediately. Alabama used a pair of freak interceptions, some excellent quarterback play from Tua, and one long overtime pass on second and twenty-six to win the game in overtime.

My favorite moment of the game has to be Mecole Hardman’s third quarter touchdown:
