Like so many other Georgia Bulldog victories over the past few seasons, this one just wasn't as easy as it could have been. It appeared in the fourth quarter, up 24-3 with that a Georgia squad which has been through the emotional ringer since it last took the field in late November finally started to take its collective eye off the ball.
And then, as so often has been the case, the errors of the opponent and a couple of timely plays by the good guys reeled things back in. Georgia, playing without its usual head coach, offensive coordinator/QB coach, defensive coordinator/secondary coach, running backs coach, fullback, leading tailback, a couple of wide receivers (and even the dad gum placekicker by the end of the thing) limped out of EverBank with a 24-17 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions.
