>We’ve seen a glimpse of the “favorite moments from 2009” from our Virginia Tech and North Carolina bloggers. Now it’s time to venture to Athens and see what I can come up with. The 2009 Georgia Bulldog season was a roller-coaster ride. The opening stretch of games (Oklahoma State, South Carolina, Arkansas, Arizona State and LSU) were all up and down battles that had fans reaching for their favorite stomach relaxer. Georgia had a very disappointing year at 8-5 and there were a lot of good and bad moments to reflect on.
Contenders for 2009 Favorite Moment:
1. Branden Smith’s redemption against South Carolina
In only his second game as a collegian Branden Smith fumbled a kickoff coming out of the end-zone in the first quarter of this game. South Carolina was able to capitalize with a field goal. At the beginning of the second quarter Branden Smith (a defensive back by trade) got a chance to redeem himself and took a reverse and out ran the entire state of South Carolina for a 61 yard TD.
2. Arkansas makes Joe Cox look like Peyton Manning. Cox went 18 of 26 for 375 yds 5 TD and 1 INT. Ryan Mallet actually had a better statistical game but after the Oklahoma State game I’m not sure anyone was expecting this out of Cox.
3. AJ Green blocks an Arizona State field goal to ice a Georgia win.
4. AJ Green takes a screen pass 65 yards to the house against Vandy.
I don’t have a youtube video of this one, but it was one of those AJ Green moments that shows why he’s the best player on the field in just about every game he plays in.
5. Bacarri Rambo separates an Mario Fannin from the football to save the game for us against Auburn(the downside to this one was that Rambo knocked himself out on the play and for a while no one was sure if he would be OK).
