A double-digit lead, in a high-stakes game, squandered away to cost Georgia a (potential) spot in the national championship.
That’s a sentence that would make 2012 Mark Richt shudder, and the Bulldogs did just that Saturday: twice leading by double digits against No. 1 Alabama, but eventually falling after the Crimson Tide scored a pair of late touchdowns.
It wasn’t all bad for the Bulldogs, of course. A team does not build a 21-7 lead, and later a 28-14 one against the top-ranked team in the country, without playing one of its best halves all season.
Jake Fromm played arguably his best game as a Bulldog, going 25-for-39 for 301 yards and three touchdowns.
