What Paul Johnson said about Georgia following blowout loss to Bulldogs
The Georgia Bulldogs took care of business at home on Saturday to close out the regular season, beating rival Georgia Tech 45-21.
The game wasn’t that close, though, as coach Paul Johnson’s triple-option offense put up 14 of those 21 points in fourth-quarter garbage time.
After the game, Johnson said the Dawgs are a good football team and, combined with the Yellow Jackets’ bad day, it had all the makings of a blowout (via AJC.com):
“We played against a really good football team and we played very poorly,” he said. “I think they probably had something to do with a lot of that. Offensively, they were pretty much a machine there in the first half. We got ourselves dug in a hole and never could put together anything consistently on offense.
“They’re a good team and we played horribly so put the two together and that’s what you get. You get your butt kicked.”
This is two years in a row the Dawgs have blown out the Yellow Jackets, making it clear they’ve surpassed their rivals on the field.
Next up is a tough test against No. 1 Alabama in Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game.
