After their nail-biting yet still impressive road victory over the rival Auburn Tigers, former Ohio State quarterback and current college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit gave the Georgia Bulldogs some Twitter praise.
My top performing teams of WEEK 12:
1- @OU_Football
2-@GeorgiaFootball
3-@UMichFootball
4-@HawkeyeFootball
5-@RiceFootball & @NMStateFootball (both got 1st win)— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) November 18, 2019
Herbstreit listed the Dawgs as his second best-performing team of the week, trailing only the Oklahoma Sooners, who rallied to overcome a 28-3 deficit and defeat the Baylor Bears.
It certainly was an impressive victory for the Dawgs. They marched into hostile territory, and though it got closer than it probably should have been towards the end of the contest, UGA still escaped with a 21-14 victory, which is no easy feat. The defense took center stage, showing why many believe that the unit will give the Dawgs a fighting chance in their SEC Championship matchup with LSU.
The Dawgs will next take the field this Saturday for their final home game coming against the Texas A&M Aggies.
