WITH ROD GILMORE
Georgia made monumental mistakes at the end of this game. Punting the ball away with 1:32 to go was bad decision. Predictably, they got the ball back with very little time left, a long field and no time outs -- they had no chance. It was a bad decision.
Suffering from the flu, Eagles RB William Green was clearly not himself -- he was chased down on a break away run and was sick on the sideline, but he came back in and had a phenomenal game under adverse circumstances. His biggest run was probably his fourth-and-one first-down pick up that led to B.C.'s go-ahead TD.
Give props to the Eagles defense. They dropped a lot of linebackers into coverage and forced QB David Green to be patient. Greene had trouble seeing the coverages, threw interceptions and had a couple others dropped. Not a good game from Greene.
Motivation is a key in bowl games and B.C. was incredibly motivated. Causing three turnovers in the first half, the Eagles took away the Bulldogs momentum early in the game.
