Team Reports

Georgia: The last time we saw Georgia's defense, Georgia Tech dissected the beleaguered unit for 409 rushing yards in a 45-42 upset. But that doesn't necessarily bode ill for the Capital One Bowl, where the Bulldogs must try to slow down Michigan State's Javon Ringer. More

That second half proved the value of Stafford's accuracy, power, and poise. He will be next year's Matt Ryan ... unless he goes to the Lions.... Post your thoughts!

"The biggest thing was eliminating mistakes. The whole first half, first drive of the second half, we were making foolish mistakes - me not hitting guys, us not picking up blitzes, not finishing off drives."
