Just about everything worked out for the Gators on Saturday.
It appeared the team was attempting a 21-yard field goal to cut down the one-touchdown deficit. Then holder Michael McNeely caught the snap and stormed down the right side untouched for a miraculous score.
Georgia quarterback Hutson Mason made a late run, throwing for 319 yards and one touchdown on 26-of-41 passing yards. Nick Chubb scored both touchdowns for the Bulldogs.
From 39 yards out, Chubb took a handoff and absolutely plowed through the defense for a score.
