For a while there, we allowed ourselves to believe. To believe that Georgia could pull this one off. That the defense would do what it’s done for weeks, and that the offense might do just enough, and that Rodrigo Blankenship might be there to cement things.
That belief was misplaced.
Kirby Smart’s team ran into a buzzsaw in purple and gold, succumbed in a hail of injuries, and eventually just sort of spent itself out in a 37-10 SEC Championship Game loss.
Like many of you. I nursed a quiet fear through the week that this one could get bad.
