No. 6 Georgia staged a fourth-quarter rally and then survived in overtime for a thrilling 44-41 win over No. 15 Tennessee on Saturday in front of a raucous crowd at Neyland Stadium. The Volunteers had a chance to win it in the final seconds of regulation, but Max Gilbert’s 43-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right to give the Bulldogs new life.<\/p>\n
After holding Tennessee to a field goal on the first series of overtime, Georgia used a 21-yard rush from Nate Frazier to position itself for the game-winning score, as Josh McCray plunged in from a yard out to secure the win. The outcome extended the Bulldogs’ winning streak over Tennessee to nine games.<\/p>\n
Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar tossed four touchdowns in his SEC debut and got the Volunteers off to an early 21-7 edge. But Georgia’s Gunner Stockton rose to the occasion and matched him in his first road start.<\/p>\n
Georgia trailed 38-30 and faced a fourth-and-6 on Tennessee’s 28-yard line with under 3 minutes remaining. A turnover on downs would have backed Georgia into a corner, but Stockton found London Humphreys with a perfectly thrown deep ball for a touchdown that brought UGA within 38-36.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A subsequent 2-point conversion tied the game and gave the Bulldogs new life. Stockton finished 23 of 31 passing for 304 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. He also scored a touchdown as a runner and called 38 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n
Tennessee is now 21-2 at home since 2022 with both losses coming against Georgia.<\/p>\n
