JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo walked briskly through the EverBank Stadium press box after yet another come-from-behind victory on Saturday, shouting, "That's the way we like it -- down to the wire every time!" The No. 5 Bulldogs' 24-20 victory over rival Florida proved to be more difficult than expected, but it was nothing new for a football team that has now trailed in the fourth quarter of four SEC games this season, winning three times.
The jokes at the presser, the pregame shirtless photo, the "timeout clapping" bit when his Ole Miss team was still up-all killer bits. But at some point, when he was workshopping the routine, he forgot about how to properly finish a football game, particularly against Georgia. Maybe he was still riding high over last year's victory and he thought he had the science down, but there's no trick to beating Georgia.
ATHENS, Ga. -- Ty Simpson passed for 276 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score as No. 17 Alabama held on late to beat No. 5 Georgia 24-21 on Saturday night to hand the Bulldogs their first home loss in six years. Alabama (3-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) has won three straight after opening the season with a 31-17 loss at Florida State.
