Georgia righted the ship at the end of their up and down season, scoring three straight wins over ranked opponents, including a 31-24 comeback upset of No. 14 Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The offense, led by freshman quarterback, Matthew Stafford, had help from senior linebacker Tony Taylor, who set up two fourth-quarter touchdowns with interceptions.
