LSU Breaks Georgia's Heart With Late Score
ATHENS, Ga. | With 69 seconds left in the game, Sanford Stadium was as loud as it had been all season. When Georgia's players trudged to the locker room after LSU's game-winning drive, there was barely a sound.
For a moment, Bulldog quarterback Joe Cox was a hero. For a moment, Georgia receiver A.J. Green had gone from star to legend. For a moment, there was a celebration.
And as quickly as it happened, it was over. No. 4 LSU answered Georgia's go-ahead touchdown with 1:09 to play, robbing Cox and the Bulldogs of their first home win over a top-5 team in a quarter-century with a two-play, 16-second drive to seal the victory.
"Our football team, if you turn your back on them, they will beat you up," Tigers coach Les Miles said. "We have competitive men, and they like to play. I am so proud of them."
