A Georgia Bulldog team that had been good enough to survive its faults against lesser competition finally met its match this afternoon, falling 36-16 to LSU in Baton Rouge.
The Red and Black has survived a rash of injuries, an epidemic of fumbles against Tennessee, and a plague of penalties against Vandy. But Ed Orgeron’s Bayou Bengals proved that all that was really necessary to dethrone Georgia was to play solid fundamental football and let the ‘Dawgs self-destruct. LSU converted an inconceivable 5 of 5 fourth down attempts and used 5 Cole Tracy field goals to keep just enough distance from Kirby Smart’s team for most of the game.
