College football fans react on social media to Notre Dame leading Georgia at the half
Heading into Saturday night’s showdown in Athens, everything favored Georgia: ESPN’s FPI, ESPN’s SP+, the betting line, etc.
Unsurprisingly, Notre Dame came to play and is giving Georgia a game through the first two quarters. In fact, the Fighting Irish lead 10-7 at the reak.
As you can imagine, with this the primetime CBS game, college football fans and media members of all allegiances are watching – and tweeting.
Here’s a sample of the first-half social reaction to a score some weren’t expecting:

Both defenses playing well. Both tackling really well. https://t.co/Z8fsVRqhne

Notre Dame playing pretty well considering the crowd and the hype. https://t.co/dpkLeIFArc

UGA's offensive coordinator is scared as hell

Alright Kirby, you’ve “established” the run. Let Fromm loose.
— Max (@maxsCFB) September 22, 2019
Georgia, asleep at the wheel. Brian Kelly is out coaching Kirby Smart, folks.
You think he was tired of hearing about Notre Dame vs Top 5 teams last 20-years?

"On that drive Georgia showed why everyone believes that they're elite."
Gary D.
There's that word again. 7-7, Elites vs. Non-Elites.

watching Georgia run the ball without success on 2nd and long is getting me hype for tomorrow's Seahawks game

Uga defense not that good why did y’all lie?

This is a pretty good football game right now; it’s living up to its hype. #UGAvsND

I hope Gus is taking notes on how UGA can’t stop the tight end

This Georgia defense is vulnerable
— Christopher Yanes (@MrChrisBits) September 22, 2019
Georgia doesn’t look like a top team right now. Playing conservative and scared and the defense looks awful. #NDvsUGA

A lot can, and will, happen in the next two quarters. Based on the first half, college football fans are in for an entertaining ball game.
I hope this isn’t the one we lose that we shouldn’t.
I see Chaney made a stop in Athens before going back to Knoxville to conservatively call the pups offense in a big game one more time, but really both Ds playing and tackling well uga needs to tighten up on ND tight ends a bit but other wise solid muffed punt is what’s cost uga the halftime lead
UGA get your crap together.
UGA has spent over 200 million in the past 3 years to become a national champion. We shall see, but UGA 10, the mascot, needs to lay off the Lucky Charms.
I for one am used to it. Uga is overrated and overhyped every year. Smart gets out coached in every big game. This will be one of 4 loses this year
Every big game?
This matured well.
That’s why I wait until the end of the game to post! lolol….GO DAWGS!!!
This take did not age well at all LOL
Please for the love of God, beat Notre Dame. Do it for the children Georgia.
I wrote a book they didn’t publish!!!! MORE CHEATING REFS!!!!! More Chaney like stupid play calling at times!!!!! But we deserved to win by 30!!!! Minimum!!!!!!
GO DAWGS!!!!! From now on stop listening to the HYPE OF THE MEDIA!!!! They tried to get you beat tonight and that is a fact. IT WAS ALL A FIX FROM THE MEDIA TO THE REFS!!!!
PS. Time for somebody to do something about these foul REFS!!!!!

I only signed my name once.
You didn’t need to sign it at all.
Says the fake marine
Says the fake MSU fan writing like he a teenager pretending to have a post graduate degree. Good stuff child.
I’m going to be calling you out every post. You’re a fake marine
Jeez, didn’t lose and still blaming refs. There were missed calls on both sides but for the most part I thought the game was decently called. Ask ole miss about refs and be happy your team won a big game.
@Thedynastycontinues…………..Your not an ole miss fan. But glad you can admit that Alabama cheated them many times with no call also!!!!!
NO I’M NOT HAPPY!!!! I’m not going to wait until the SEC is on the line or a national championship and then say it once its TO LATE!!!!!! If you think this game was called well your both blind bias and stupid!!!!! No I didn’t see the REFS miss anything on UGA!!!!! But as I said. I NO LONGER CARE!!!!!
How many times is it alright to grab WRs without bothering to turn your head??? 4 or 5 times that I personally saw!!! All meaningful plays!!! Most big-time meaningful plays!!!! UGA GETS CALLED FOR PI WHEN WE DO TURN OUR HEAD!!!!!
The long pass at the end that helped give Notre dame a TD was out of bounds!!! There was VISIBLE SPACE BETWEEN HIS FOOT AND THE GROUND WHEN HIS BUTT WAS OUT!!!!!!
Notre dame got away with BLATANT HOLDING ON NEARLY EVERY PLAY IN THE OFFENSIVE LINE!!!!!
Go watch their first 4th and goal TD. Watch the left side of the oline. Then watch as one of the notre dame guys LAUNCHES HIMSELF AT THE KNEES OF THE DEFENDER!!!! It’s called a BLANTANT ” CHOP BLOCK ” or blocking below the knees. Take your pick of what to call it. Either way it should have been a huge penalty period!!!!!
I could go on and on. And again, NO THE GAME WAS NOT CALLED PRETTY GOOD. IT WASN’T FAIR!!!! The head REF that looks like the head coach of Michigan. He was visibly pissed when he was forced to call penalties on Notre dame that the other REFS saw!!!!
Brian Kelly was cussing the line judge out and should have been flagged but wasn’t!!!!!!!
How about those Notre dame FLOPS to stop our momentum????? One time the other player grabbed the guy and made him flop!!!! THOSE WERE FLOPS CALLED FROM THE SIDELINES!!!!!
Otherwise the other player wouldn’t have bothered taking a chance at pulling him down. You see he was PUT IN THE GAME TO FLOP!!!! Otherwise WHY wouldn’t the player who pulled him to the ground just flop himself????
I’ll tell you why. Because he was too important and was not put in the game to flop/cheat!!!!!! It was sooooooo blatant!!!!! Don’t tell me the REFS missed it!!!!
And how about the guy running into Jake Fromm’s arm on purpose and then flopping???? TELL HELL WITH THE EXCUSES!!!!!!! We were cheated and it’s time something is done about it!!!!

Yes there were a couple pi calls not called on Nd. The guy going down was pretty blatant. The second time the guy clearly had something in his eye when he went down. The camera showed him on the sideline on the next play getting water poured in his eye. Now I am glad Ga won but lets talk about the pi not called on them on NDs 4th down play at the end of the game. Or the 2 or 3 offensive pi that should have been called throughout the game on GA. The receivers clearly pushed off the defenders to make the catch. If you want penalties called on every play go watch the No Fun League.
I don’t go around blaming the refs for Clemson beating the hell out of Bama. They got beat by a better team on that day. If Georgia could ever beat Bamas back-up QBs I would give them props. Not blame the refs. Until then just keep signing your name on everything idiot.
Stop yelling.
I hope this is n0t the one we lose that we shouldn’t.
