SEC Championship: Remembering Georgia’s 2005 win over LSU
It’s No. 1 Georgia (12-0) versus No. 14 LSU (9-3) on Saturday for the SEC Championship.
One of the most memorable UGA SEC Championship wins is when star quarterback D.J. Shockley led the Bulldogs to a 34-14 win over the Tigers in 2005.

Shockley finished the game with three total touchdowns and 118 yards on 6/12 passing.
Georgia receiver Sean Bailey racked up 74 yards on two touchdowns, and running back Thomas Brown rushed for 62 yards on 14 carries.
The Bulldogs defense held LSU to 230 yards of offense.
Georgia’s current coaching staff knows this classic game well.
Receiver’s coach Brian McClendon was suited up for the Bulldogs, offensive analyst Mike Bobo was serving as quarterbacks coach and offensive line coach Stacy Searels was serving in the same role for LSU.
