Social media reacts after Georgia beats Texas in SEC championship

The Georgia Bulldogs won the first-ever SEC championship game to go to overtime and UGA fans are loving it!

The Georgia Bulldogs are 2024 SEC champions! Georgia defeated the Texas Longhorns, 22-19, in the first overtime in SEC championship history.

UGA did it without its starting quarterback. Carson Beck left the game after getting sacked on a Hail Mary attempt at the end of the first half. Backup quarterback Gunner Stockton helped Georgia overcome a 6-3 halftime deficit and did just enough for Georgia to beat a very talented Texas team.

Georgia forced Texas into countless mistakes. The Bulldogs forced three turnovers and recorded six sacks along with 16 tackles for a loss. Georgia’s defense shut down Texas’ running game and did not allow the Longhorns to score a red zone touchdown.

Coach Kirby Smart called a bold fake punt on his own side of the 50  that helped UGA tack on a field goal and eat up clock in the second half.

The SEC championship MVP, Georgia cornerback Daylen Everette, intercepted Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers twice. The Dawgs won the battle in the trenches en route to Georgia’s third SEC championship of the Smart era.

What did Georgia football fans and media say on social media after UGA won the SEC championship game?

“Dawgs get it done,” said former Georgia quarterback J.T. Daniels via social media.

“SEC champs baby!!” said former Georgia running back Herschel Walker.

“Hard to beat the Georgia Bulldogs. They get everyone’s best shot and just win. Congrats,” said Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin.

“It’s hard to beat a great team twice. … But it’s even harder to beat Georgia’s worst team in seven years once apparently,” said one UGA fan on social media.

Georgia football relieved after 4th straight win over Florida

Georgia football fans have a lot on their minds after picking up a 34-20 win over Florida

(This story was updated because an earlier version included an inaccurate headline.)

The Georgia Bulldogs prevailed over the Florida Gators for a fourth straight time. Georgia Bulldogs needed a pair of late fourth-quarter touchdowns for the 34-20 victory after Florida tied the game at 20.

Florida was down to its third-string quarterback after quarterback DJ Lagway left the game in the second quarter due to a hamstring injury.

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck and the Bulldogs failed to capitalize. Beck threw three interceptions before orchestrating a long drive to put Georgia up 27-20. Beck finished 25 of 40 for 304 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. He will have to play better if Georgia wants to beat Ole Miss next week.

Georgia fans and media react to the Dawgs’ win over Florida

“Georgia rallies for a 34-20 win, but games like this will not get the Bulldogs where they hope to go,” said Georgia football media member Anthony Dasher.

“Georgia is 7-1 and have played some of the most awful half’s of football on offense since Kirby’s first season in Athens. But the Bulldogs are still have all goals ahead of them,” said UGASports.com’s Trent Smallwood.

“It was an ugly day for the Georgia offense, but the Bulldogs put together a 75-yard touchdown drive late and CJ Allen seals the deal with a pick that set the stage for another score,” said Jordan Hill of 247Sports.

“No matter what happens, I’m going to keep coming, but I know I need to get better,” said Carson Beck after the game. Beck has show resiliency, but has been fortunate that Georgia’s defense played well enough to win against both Florida and Texas.

Our favorite annual tradition in the rivalry has to be Florida fans heading home to beat the traffic.

Twitter reacts: Georgia sets program, NFL record for first round picks

What a day to be a Georgia Bulldog! Twitter is on FIRE

The University of Georgia has set a program record with five NFL draft picks in the first round. Which is also an NFL record for the most defenders ever taken from one team in draft history.

Lewis Cine was taken by the Minnesota Vikings with the last pick of the first round. Devonte Wyatt was chosen at No. 28 by the Green Bay Packers, joining teammate Quay Walker, who was chosen by the Packers at No. 22. Travon Walker went No. 1 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jordan Davis went at No. 13 to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Here’s how UGA Twitter is reacting to the record setting night:

 

Watch: Georgia takes the lead on 3rd and 20

Check out JT Daniels fourth touchdown pass of the night to give the Dawgs the lead late in the fourth quarter

We have a game folks. Georgia leads Mississippi State 31-24 with nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter after a huge pass from new starting quarterback JT Daniels to star receiver Kearis Jackson.

On third down and 20 no less.

Check it out:

What a game so far for JT Daniels, he’s completed 27 of 35 passes for 370 yards and four touchdowns.

The game is live now on the SEC Network.

 

Halftime: UGA Twitter reacts to slow start vs Mississippi State

No. 13 Georgia hasn’t gotten off to a good start vs. a struggling Mississippi State team. Here is what UGA Twitter has to say.

No. 13 Georgia hasn’t gotten off to a good start vs. a struggling Mississippi State team.

The game is tied 17-17 at halftime

Mississippi State’s offense led by freshman Will Rodgers was able to chew the clock and keep new Georgia quarterback JT Daniels and company off of the field for most of the half.

The Bulldogs have 193 yards of offense and have held the ball only 11 minutes, while MSU has 229 total yards, have had the ball for 19 minutes and have connected on a couple of big plays, including a long touchdown pass late in the second quarter.

Here’s what UGA Twitter is saying after a lackluster opening half.

Quick props to freshman receiver Jermaine Burton, who has had a monster half.

I love what I’ve seen from JT Daniels so far, but Georgia coach Kirby Smart will have to change things defensively to get pressure on MSU’s Will Rodgers, or this game will go into the fourth quarter.

We cannot keep backing off and letting Mike Leach tear up a soft zone all night.

 

Georgia football players take to Twitter to try and save CFB season

Following the postponement of the Big Ten and PAC-12 football seasons, Georgia football players took to Twitter to express their opinions.

Following the somber news of the Big Ten and PAC-12 postponing their fall sports due to COVID-19 safety concerns, a number of Georgia football players took to Twitter in an attempt to voice their opinions on playing this season.

Malik Herring, James Cook, Jamaree Salyer and Justin Shaffer were some of the Dawgs players who tweeted out the trending movement among athletes: #WeWantToPlay.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart supported his players stance and gave them retweets on their posts.

The 2020 college football season could be hard to salvage with two of the five Power Five conferences opting out of the season, but that isn’t stopping players from expressing themselves.
