Georgia has now forced 11 negative plays, perhaps none bigger than just now, a sack on third down to force a longer field goal attempt – which missed. That’s two missed field goals, the difference as Georgia clings to a 10-6 lead.
This has been the ultimate bend-but-don’t-break for Georgia’s defense, giving up 254 passing yards, including a number of chunk plays. But every time Texas has gotten near the red zone the Bulldogs have firmed up.
