Strong defensive effort, fourth-quarter comeback lift Georgia past Cincinnati

In a game full of mistakes, No. 9 Georgia completed the 11-point comeback over No. 8 Cincinnati late in the fourth quarter as placekicker Jack Podlesny nailed a 53-yard field goal to put his team up 22-21.

Georgia players and coaches stormed the field not realizing that there was time still left on the clock. Officials gave the Bulldogs an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that would be assessed on the kickoff. Georgia punter Jake Camarda booted a rocket that was downed at the Bearcats’ two-yard line.

With one last chance, Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder took the snap and rolled right, but was sacked in the endzone by Georgia outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari.
