 The Bulldogs drove down to the goal line with 16 seconds left, but rather than spiking the ball to save time off the game clock, they inexplicably called for a handoff up the middle for no gain.Time expired before Georgia was trying to hurry up on offense, and the Bulldogs lost to the #24 Tigers 24–17.In 2002, #7 Georgia traveled to #22 Auburn with a spot in the SEC Championship game and an outside chance at the national title on the line.
