Vanderbilt scores first TD on Georgia since 2018

The Vanderbilt Commodores (2-5) came to play against the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs in Nashville, scoring on their first possession of the game.

A five play, 75-yard drive that was capped off with a 49-yard Ken Seals touchdown pass to London Humphreys makes it 7-0 Commodores. Vanderbilt’s drive took just 2:53 off of the clock.

The miscommunication by the Georgia secondary allowed a catch and run that we rarely see against this UGA defense.

It’s too early to make an assessment, but the Bulldogs, who are 31.5 point favorites, have had issues with slow starts this season. Georgia had a chance to answer on its first possession, but a Carson Beck fumble has the Commodores back on offense in Bulldogs’ territory.

To a pessimist, it was a battle between bordering states’ basketball bottom dwellers.

To an optimist, it was a glass-half-full of fun.

Georgia pulled off a rare come-from-behind win in Nashville against Vanderbilt amidst a season plagued with blown leads.

Trailing by a single point with just over five seconds remaining in regulation, Tyree Crump lined up outside the paint prior to a pair of Vanderbilt free throws. Hoping for a couple of misses and then hoping to rebound, Crump and company needed a miracle.

One of this college basketball season’s best back-and-forth contests played out the ending we all deserved, and thankfully for Dawg Nation, the good guys came out on top.
