JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Georgia has another 10-win season. It adds another bowl trophy to its lavish case, too.
The Bulldogs beat Penn State in the TaxSlayer Bowl 24-17 to finish off the kind of season that eludes most major college football programs but has been the model for Georgia the last decade.
Interim coach Bryan McClendon and his players deserve credit for insulating the Georgia locker room and rallying for a win. A lot of teams might have folded given the circumstances surrounding the Bulldogs' program -- a beloved coach's dismissal followed by an exodus of assistants to cap a regular season full of negativity.
