First Georgia lead of the game lasts 55 seconds

By
Jan 1, 2023

As my mini-headline would suggest, Georgia briefly nabbed its first lead of the game at 24-21 after a 32-yard field goal by Podlesny.

It took Stroud and the Buckeyes’ offense 55 seconds and four plays to soar 75 yards down the field and reclaim the lead, 28-24.

These scoring plays are coming faster than I can type, so y’all bear with me please.
