Georgia football play of the day – Georgia vs Auburn (2013)

Watch the Georgia football play of the day here!

It’s Monday, August 31 and today’s play of the day comes from Georgia versus Auburn at Jordan-Hare stadium in 2013.

No. 25 ranked Georgia was considered an underdog in their match up with No. 7 Auburn, who had national title hopes in mind.

Auburn held a 20-point lead early in the fourth quarter before star quarterback Aaron Murray led the Bulldogs to three straight touchdowns to make it 37-31 Auburn.

After a late hold by the Georgia defense, it was Murray and the Bulldogs final chance to secure a comeback win.

Georgia marched down the field to the Tigers’ 5 yard line where they faced a fourth and goal with 1:56 remaining.

Watch what happened next:

One of the most clutch plays in Georgia football history that, unfortunately, gets overlooked because of Auburn’s miracle game-winning pass that answered this legendary score by Murray.

Regardless, Murray finished with 415 yards passing with 3 total touchdowns and an interception in one of the most impressive performances of his great career in Athens.

 

Georgia football the first to offer 8th grade QB Antwann Hill Jr. , cousin of UGA center Trey Hill

Georgia football has offered a scholarship to eighth grade QB Antwann Hill Jr., the younger cousin of Georgia center Trey Hill.

The University of Georgia has offered a scholarship to class of 2025 quarterback Antwann Hill Jr., per his Twitter account.

Hill is an eighth grader at Mossy Creek Middle School in Kathleen, Georgia.

The younger cousin of Georgia star center Trey Hill, Antwann is already one of the top quarterbacks of his age group.

Rusty Mansell of 247 Sports wrote:

“I have personally seen him live 3-4 times already and he is pushing 6-3 as a rising 8th grade.”

Georgia already had a recruiting advantage with having Trey Hill in Athens and now they become the first to offer young Antwann.

While it is still very early in the recruiting process, as Georgia’s lone offer in the 2025 class, coach Kirby Smart and staff have shown Antwaan that he is a priority moving forward.

Watch the Georgia football play of the day here!

It’s Saturday, August 29 and today’s play of the day comes from Georgia versus Auburn in their classic match up of 2007, which featured the Bulldogs in their blackout alternate uniforms.

Georgia held a 10-3 lead over the Tigers early in the second quarter. Star quarterback Matthew Stafford led the Bulldogs to the Tigers’ 13-yard-line  where they faced a third down and five.

Watch what happened here:

Good audible by Stafford and an even better throw and catch.

Georgia football makes 4-star DB Terrion Arnolds’ list of top schools

Georgia football has been named in 4-star DB Terrion Arnolds’ list of top schools. Details here

2021 four-star safety Terrion Arnold (John Paul II Catholic High School) from Tallahassee, Florida, listed his top-11 schools on his Twitter account on Friday, which included the University of Georgia.

Arnold wrote:

As most people know I have been taking my recruitment slow and trying to find the best fit for me. With that being said these are the schools I will be continuing with… The journey is just beginning #11

Arnold, an Under Armor All-American, is rated the No. 10 player in Florida, the No. 2 safety and the No. 85 prospect overall in the 2021 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.

As one of the elite defensive back prospects for 2021, Arnold has plenty of interest from some of the top programs in the country.

He holds 44 offers, including ones from Alabama, Florida State and Florida – which are all rumored to be in the lead to sign Arnold as of now.

Making Arnold’s list is great for the Bulldogs, especially because of how Georgia’s secondary, while strong, may be losing several key players to the NFL next year – Eric Stokes, Tyson Campbell and Richard LeCounte to name a few.

 

 

Georgia football play of the day: A.J. Green vs Arizona State (2008)

Watch A.J. Green’s impressive freshman performance versus Arizona State in 2010 here!

It’s Thursday, August 27 and today’s play of the day is more like play(s).

We are making an exception for Georgia receiver legend A.J. Green and instead of highlighting one of the plays from the Bulldogs’ match up with Arizona State in 2010, let’s watch all of his catches from his dominant freshman performance.

Sometimes I think Green isn’t appreciated quite enough for how great he was for Georgia and this clip is a great example of just how good he was, as a freshman nonetheless.

Green finished with 8 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown on the way to a 27-10 Georgia win. He would also go on that year to break the UGA freshman receiving record for receptions in a season with 56.

Green was drafted No. 4 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2011 NFL Draft. He became the first rookie Pro Bowl receiver in eight years and now, continues to lead the Bengals receiver room in his ninth season.
