UGA football wraps season with bowl win

The Georgia Bulldogs wrapped their football season in victory--a 24-12 decision over the Michigan State Spartans in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando New Year's Day. The Bulldogs close their season with a 10-3 record. Georgia posted its 6th 10-win season in Mark Richt's 8 years as Bulldogs head coach.

Junior quarterback Matthew Stafford was named the game's MVP. He and redshirt sophmore running back Knowshon Moreno perhaps played their final game in a Georgia uniform. The standout players are considering leaving school early for the NFL Draft. Underclassmen have a January 15th deadline for a decision.

Georgia Tech buried in bowl game

The hope of Georgia Tech's football team to complete a 10-win football season met disaster Wednesday night. In their worst defeat in 3 years, Tech was buried in a 38-3 loss to LSU in the Chick-Fil-A bowl from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The good news for Tech? It happened while the calendar still showed 2008.

The Yellow Jackets had a terrible night with their special teams--miscues included a fumbled punt return and failed recovery of an onside kick. LSU's Tigers scored 28 second quarter points.

Tech wraps their season with a 9-4 record under first-year head coach Paul Johnson.
