Not really. TCU did what Ohio State couldn't and beat Michigan. UGA just played a bad game and let this look weird. Georgia could have lost to a lot of teams as bad as they played in this game.
@@brianpoole7581really just rewatch the game. 3TDs and a queen Elizabeth wave from JJ to the whole horseshoe 🤣 🤣 🤣 don't rob Wilson of that TD and the final score is 52-51 Michigan. Really they beat themselves they play their best nobody in the country beats them. Facts..
I'm still in awe of the play Brock made at 45:42. What amazing awareness and athleticism. I don't know how he was able to get his left leg up as it was sliding towards the line. Then to have the wherewithal to contort his body in an effort to have the ball cross the line? That has to be one of the best plays I've ever seen in football. Just incredible
I have rewatched that play several times and I am still amazed at his body control, his athleticism, and his situational awareness. I don’t know if we will see his like again, in our lifetime.
@@xuexxiong The referees were NOT going to call the penalty for 12 men on the field which is WHY he burned the t.o. It would have been one of those complaints we Dawgs have about referees being wrong. Remember not offsides called offside? Best time out of all damn time! Go Dawgs!
I went to this game. knew this was a great game but you really don’t realize it till you watch it over and see the media craze. Definitely top 5 game of all time.
I knew it was over when Ransom slipped and blew coverage. I felt it in my soul. Made me sick to my stomach. Not a targeting on Harrison. A targeting call should be something so egregious that it’s not debated. Painful to watch this thinking what could of been playing TCU. Congrats to UGA. You guys are the standard in CFB now.
Georgia fan here. At the time, I was absolutely elated for the win. Still am. But watching this now, I feel for Ohio State. I’ve been in that situation watching Georgia lose at the last second more times than I can count. I’m so glad we won that game. I’m glad Ohio State did miss that field goal at midnight on NYE. But man I feel for them… especially for CJ Stroud. Dude played absolutely out of his mind. This was the National Championship as far as I’m concerned.
As an Ohio State fan, this just makes me sad. I can't watch this right now, but I clicked on it because I do want to watch this EVENTUALLY. The key to this game was the Georgia Defensive Coordinator. He was able to dial up just the right creative pressures at just the right times to force just enough field goals and punts. Congratulations to the Georgia players, coaches, and TRUE Georgia fans. All the haters, I hate them.
Hats off and MUCH respect for that comment. I’ve never met a level headed Ohio state fan. Your fan base is arguably the worst in the country. Glad to know you’re not all assholes.
Clearly the best team Georgia played all season. O state will be back . They are always in it. The Dawgs won it all. Goooo Dawgs whip-em sick-em AGAIN!
As a fan of the Bucks and the Dawgs, this was a hard game to watch because I like em both. Didn't leave my my easy chair the whole game. And what a great game it was.
I had forgotten how bad some of the officiating was. Even with the poor calls and no calls OHIO State couldn't finish the deal. Thank God! I'd have hated to start another drought due to poor officiating. Go Dawgs!
@terrancejohnson9548 kid.. did you see how yall looked againt UT Martin?? 🤣 🤣 🤣 mark my words .. yall lose 2 regular season games for sure.. just be happy dawgs went back 2 back. Period..
Enough said…..GO DAWGS!!!!!! So proud of my team….Todd Monkin, Kirby Smart, what can I not say..this team, we have overcome injuries but never complaining as our team is elite within ourselves. It is not about a specific player, we share the load and each player is unselfish and we celebrate as a team, not one player. The ones that decide to go in the draft, never forget the lesson of humbleness and patience, you will do well. To the ones that will continue into the 2022-2023…watch out to our opponents on our schedule. Back to Back champions but we don’t gloat but keep preparing…be blessed🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤GO DAWGS GO DAWGS GO DAWGS!!!!!
Absolutely! Exactly the point I’ve been trying to make since the 2021 Natty. If a team can’t win games without 1 or 2 key players, then how solid is that team as a whole?? The whole team has to step up and make key plays to win the game. This is why GA was able to come back from a 14 point deficit twice.
I considered this UGA's actual championship game. UGA vs TCU was a snoozefest, within the first quarter we knew, that championship was in the bag. This was the most memorable way to ring in the new year in my whole 36 years!
A year later and I still come back to watch this game as a Buckeye fan. It was such a great game regardless of the heartbreaking ending. Ryan Day is given a hard time for losing these games but man, just one play difference in this game and 2019 and he’s playing for a natty 3 of 4 years as a head coach. Much respect to the Dogs, they got it done. I still would love to see our Buckeyes play them again sooner than later.
I feel you man as a Georgia fan I know what it felt like to be so close but yet so far. 2012 with the loss to Bama, 2017 with the loss to Bama, 2018 with the loss to Bama, and this year with the loss to Bama. It sucks but it’ll be worth it once you win it all again and trust me the Dawgs and Buckeyes will inevitably square off again in the 12 team playoff sooner rather than later!
Ohio State had as many, if not more injuries to key starters, and still should have beaten Georgia! Ohio State would have destroyed a very overrated TCU team, just like Georgia did, to win the National Championship!
“MIRACLE”?! Georgia scored 42 (should have been 48, because the usually reliable Podlesny missed 2 VERY makeable field goals earlier in the game) on them, and won the 4th quarter, 18-3 - by the way, Harrison didn’t catch a SINGLE pass in the 3rd quarter - THE BETTER TEAM WON - PERIOD!!!
Yes and the Buckeyes scored 41 on your best defense ever? They should have had 48 or even more but for a dropped interception by Cam Brown and bad calls. You got lucky they missed that last field goal, face it! That's the miracle!
@@stevenstritenberger1761 “BAD CALLS”?! You mean, like #79 holding our pass rushers on literally EVERY play ALL night long, yet NEVER getting called for it?! 18-3 in the 4th quarter, bitch, when ALL the chips were on the table, and YOU couldn’t stop it from happening - Cryin’ Day has “disciples,” I see - a football game lasts 60 minutes, NOT 45 - YOU just got beaten by a tougher, better team, sore little Browneye - suck on THAT, pansyboy, and then go bake us some cookies……………
@@stevenstritenberger1761 our best defense ever was the season prior and yeah we got lucky, such is the nature of sports lol, but maybe don’t blow 2 separate 14 point leads and you’d be calling yourself a champion this past season 🤷🏾♂️
@@stevenstritenberger1761also if we are talking about bad calls y’all were holding ALL game. I don’t think we got lucky if y’all consistently gave up double digit leads
This was the first and only CFB game I’ve attended. The game was amazing and the environment was electric. Me and other Dawgs fans were beside ourselves the whole game until the last play. The experience still feels unreal. Go Dawgs!
Everyone says that it should've been Michigan or Ohio State are forgetting one thing. TCU DID beat Michigan. Wolverines had a shot, but didnt get it done. Yes, TCU got smacked, but it doesn't change the fact that they earned their spot.
Two great teams. Ohio State played better early. Georgia played better late. It could have gone either way. There is less than a 50% chance a kicker makes a 50 yard field goal. I fail to see any "miracle".
LOL....are you blind my guy?? Let me see if I can help you see it!! lol UGA had no business winning this game since OSU won the first and 3rd quarters, however, when it comes to close football games it's the 2nd and 4th quarters that are the most important since they close out each half of the game. Now, take your pick, from the following list of things that happened in the game since any of them could be considered the reason for the midnight miracle in the A!!! Coming back from a 2 TD deficit .....TWICE! Scoring the go ahead TD with a minute left in the game to take the lead, which UGA hadn't held since it was 24-21 UGA in the 2nd quarter And of course Ruggles missing the FG as the clock struck midnight ending the 2022 year, which UGA dominated, and started the 2023 year which will be a repeat for UGA!!!! You see it now? mmm? GO DAWGS!!! GO43N23!!!
Georgias TD at the 8:40 mark wasn’t a “slip” by the DB, it was an Ankle Breaker move that put him on his butt. Sad that an Ohio State & Big Ten Fanboy and former player, Herbstreit, gets to call these games. He never calls it fairly and his bias comes through bright and clearly. Even when the “media member” got flattened on the sideline, he gave Stroud credit for helping her up, when Bulldog Smael Mondon was helping her first. He also says a lot by his silence whenever the dogs scored or did something big. It’s really a shame he gets these prime games and he has way too much influence over college football in general.😊
@@romanneeld9537 Reece did say it first, but Herbsreit said it during his color of the play. I watched it quite a few times. With that said, it’s all good as I mean no ill intent to you my friend, I think we’re on the same side here. Kindest regards! Go Dawgs!
Really! I watched the game! If there was holding, the officials didn’t call them, and also it would have been on both teams, not just Ohio State! Ohio State outplayed Georgia, should have won, and if anything, the officials helped Georgia get the W, reversed targeting call, etc.!
@@jeffreyleohner3247 you are drunk. Those Ohio State offensive linemen held UGA defensive players outside the frame of their bodies time and time again. Those are supposed to be called. You could probably make a holding call on every play , but if you are an offensive lineman and you hold the defender within the framework of his body and don't make it too obvious, it's accepted as a non hold. That's been an acceptable compromise amongst officials, players, coaches and has been so for decades.. Dawgs scored more points than anOSU, accumulated more yards rushing and passing, plus outscored the Buckeyes 18 -3 in the fourth quarter. UGA out gained Ohio State by 66 yards on 6 viewer plays and had a +1.8 ypp advantage. So, the idea that Ohio State outplayed Georgia is nonsensical
We just knew when Stetson Bennett threw that interception that we were going to be in control of the game this game was our best game of the season fr us OSU fans are fucking tight 😠 i hope this year we finished teams off when we got the chance and dominate when needed too
If Bennett hands the ball off instead of keeping it on the 3rd & 1, on Georgias 1st drive, then would have scored first. Likely, a much different game if not for those 2 first half FG misses.(see how OSU fans sound)? I can do the same for UGA and they won.
Yes! That decision by Bennett to keep the ball still urks the heck out of me, even though we won. It was plain as day, if he hands that ball to #6, he walks in the end zone untouched! Even the announcers said it.
Buckeyes gave it their best and the better team won. The missed holding calls was the only reason it was that close. Look forward to drafting Harrison Jr in fantasy
Congrats to TCU beating a solid Michigan team. Although, it wasn't a beat-down like the one Michigan gave OSU at the shoe. TCU was BEST of any team that DAY! OSU got in "via the back door", once again! NCAA: Close the damn back door! USC should've opted out of conference title game and prepare for a NATTY.
I was at WSMFP NYE in Nashville and certainly was not having fun during the first half of the game. As the comeback slowly happened I could feel it throughout Bridgestone Arena. Widespread teased Honky Red and I will never forget turning around to look at my brother and say "Honky Red is gonna lead the Dawgs to victory". During that song was when AD caught that touchdown pass. Honky was followed by Taildragger and the missed kick. Some dude in the pit had the game on his phone so i watched the kick. My brother could not bare to watch it. After he missed I turned to my brother shouting "WE WON THE GD GAME" multiple times. Taildragger was followed by Trashy, and by that point the boys must have gotten word about the result because after Trashy they played Greta and unleashed a PACK OF RABID DAWGS all over Bridgestone!!!
@@baylorgreenhaw2573 Awesome…a friend of mine is a Panic lover also. I’ve framed about 8-10 crazy panic posters through the years for him. They played at his wedding 20 years ago.
This is the one that Ohio State missed the field goal in the final seconds at the struck of midnight of 2023 & Georgia went on make it back to back national titles & 4th overall.
1:05:56 This didn't affect the outcome of the game, but #55 of the Buckeyes commits one of the most blatant holding calls I've ever seen. He grabs, holds, and tackles his opponent! Watch the live video of this play and you will see the Georgia lineman screaming for a holding call after he is tackled to the ground.
