Ranking the top Georgia football wins of the decade: #8

UGA Wire ranks the top Georgia football wins of the decade: #8

In honor of the start of 2020 Wednesday, we decided to put together a list of the Top 10 Georgia football wins from the past decade.

Coming in at No. 10 on our last was the 2013 Georgia Tech game, while the 2014 Clemson game claimed the No. 9 spot.

Now, it’s time to reveal our No. 8 in this list of the top Georgia football games of the decade. Coming in at No. 8 is the 2017 Tennessee game, due to the significance. While this wasn’t the most competitive matchup, it was a fan favorite, which will be remembered for a long time.

Nothing Georgia does will ever hurt the Tennessee fanbase like Hobnail Boot or the 41-0 beatdown on Rocky Top. Neyland Stadium might as well have performed a mandatory evacuation drill as thousands of orange-clad fans dashed to their cars in the middle of this contest, with the Bulldogs in complete control. Never mind the fact it was one of the worst losses in Volunteer football history. Yikes.

Take a look:

What a day in the Tennessee hills!
