Georgia Topples Cincinnati With Late Field Goal in Peach Bowl

No. 9 Georgia toppled No. 8 Cincinnati 24–21 in dramatic fashion with a last-second field goal in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta, dealing the Bearcats' their only loss of the season.

After Cincinnati opened a 21–10 second-half lead, Bulldogs rallied in the fourth quarter to pull within three points. After forcing the Bearcats to punt for the third straight time, quarterback JT Daniels led an eight-play drive that ended with Jack Podlesny kicking a 53-yard game-winning field goal. Georgia then added a safety on the final play of the game to provide the final three-point margin.

Cincinnati held the lead most of the game after opening the scoring when quarterback Desmond Ridder connected with Alec Pierce on a 14-yard touchdown pass.
