The Georgia Bulldogs came out on top in one of the greatest Rose Bowl games ever Monday, and two local products came through in the clutch for the team.
Harris County alum Tae Crowder and Brookstone alum Prather Hudson delivered on special teams in Georgia’s 54-48 double-overtime victory over Oklahoma. The two players’ efforts were part of a big showing for the Bulldogs’ special teams, which included a 55-yard field goal and a blocked field-goal attempt in overtime.
Crowder’s biggest play of the contest came just seconds before halftime. After a trick-play touchdown put Oklahoma ahead 31-14, Sooners kickoff specialist Austin Seibert attempted a squib kick to drain the final five seconds off the clock, but the sophomore snagged the ball as it flew past him.
