1998: Georgia 35, Virginia 33
The No. 19-ranked Georgia Bulldogs avenged 1995's loss to Virginia with a stirring, come-from-behind 35-33 victory in front of a record crowd of 72,876.
After 12th-ranked Virginia had built a 21- point lead by capitalizing on three interceptions by Georgia freshman quarterback Quincy Carter, the Bulldogs responded with 21 points of their own. Virginia regained the lead late in the third quarter on a 67-yard pass from Aaron Brooks to Terrence Wilkins. The extra point failed, however, and at the end of three quarters the Cavaliers led 27-21. Georgia took the lead for good on its first possession of the fourth quarter when senior running back Olandis Gary capped a 67-yard drive with a two-yard run. After a Carter quarterback sneak from one yard out and an extra point conversion upped the Bulldog lead to eight points, Virginia responded as Brooks scrambled 30 yards to cut the lead to two points at 35-33 with 1:34 remaining. Bulldog Jeff Harris broke up the Cavaliers’ two-point conversion, seemingly icing the victory for Georgia. However, Vi rginia re covered the onside kick, setting up a 48-yard field goal attempt with 19 seconds remaining. Todd Braverman’s kick sailed wide right, though, and Georgia held on for the victory.
