Game summary

[edit]

The Bulldogs took an early 10–3 lead. Arkansas wouldn't score a touchdown until Georgia's QBRay Goff tried a 'shoestring' play. He bent as if to tie his shoe and flipped the ball to Gene Washington, a legal play as long as in one motion, but RazorbackHal McAfee scooped up the ball at the 13 yard line.[3]Ike Forte scored for the Hogs, knotting the game at 10. The two teams were scoreless in the third period, with Arkansas missing three field goals, before the Hogs exploded for 21 unanswered to close the game.
