The game featured big plays and turnovers, with Georgia’s defense forcing key turnovers to keep them in the game. Both teams repeatedly matched each other’s scoring in overtime, with Frazier finally sealing the victory with the winning 2-point conversion. The thrilling game ended just after midnight in a freezing night at Sanford Stadium.
