jkrdevil Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 West Virginia beat Georgia 38-35 in the Sugar Bowl. Big win for WV and the Big East. The Fake Punt was a brilliant call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I guess that means that Georgia just has to be good at everything else. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZapRowsdower8 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Does this validate the Big East keeping the automatic BCS bid? As a Pitt supporter I have to say yes, although I'm sure that still won't be the popular opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 The Fake Punt was a brilliant call. Four things cost Georgia the game:1. Couldn't stop the run. Georgia should have run blitzed, run blitzed, run blitzed, especially in the last 6 minutes of the game.2. Turnovers3. Linebackers and safeties played way too far off the line of scrimmage4. They didn't go with the punt block on that fake punt. Go for the block, take away the possibility of the punter running, and if WV downs it inside the 10, fine...they probably would've done that anyway.Another terrible coaching decision was Richt not calling a timeout on 4th down with more than two minutes to go in the game. Save the time, especially with the clock stoppages on first downs. Turns out it didn't matter, but if WV did punt, Georgia lost 40 seconds right there.Great game - congrats to the Mountaineers. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 The fake punt was ballsy by the Mountaineers. It took the steam out of Georgia after they'd clawed back from a huge deficit. Congrats WVU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I was shocked that Georgia lost in Atlanta that was a Bulldog crowd all day. Having been downtown all afternoon and into the evening, WV brought a lot of fans, and had a lot of support in the Dome. It wasn't exactly a UGA home game.Good effort, Bulldogs, but kudos to WV. They came to play.Bring on the Hilltoppers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Nice job by the Mountaineers. They came out and beat holy hell out of Georgia for a quarter then hung on for dear life. The fake punt was the most gutsy call I have seen in a while. Well done West Virginia. Great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Although their bowl record won't show, I personally think the Big East had a great bowl season.Rutgers nearly beat Arizona St in the Insight Bowl, which was essentally a home game for the Sun Devils.USF, although they got blanked, was in the game against NC State in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, which was also a pseudo-home game for the Wolfpack.Louisville gave Va. Tech a big fight in the Gator Bowl before falling in the end.Now, West Virginia comes to Atlanta and yet again, the pseudo-home field edge for their opponents comes to play. WVU took it out quickly before Georgia came back and made it a game.Congrats to WVU and the Big East for proving to me that you deserve that BCS bid.

Cujo Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I had 5-to-1 that UGA would come back and win when they were down 38-28. If not for that successful fake punt, the Bulldogs (and D.C.) would have won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowl games determine only which team is less rusty and more focused after a long layoff. Does anyone think LSU would beat Miami by 37 points in the middle of the regular season?
