ATHENS, Ga. – Saturday’s Georgia-Texas A&M football game contained 121 total plays throughout its 60 minutes.
The visiting Aggies had 62 offensive plays and chose to run 20 times, with those 20 rushes netting minus-1 yard in Georgia’s 19-13 victory.
“We preach stopping the run all week,” Bulldogs sophomore nose tackle Jordan Davis said. “We want to suffocate them and make them one-dimensional. At the end of the day, when you hold a team to minus-1 yard, that is a huge accomplishment.
“We definitely have things to work on, but that’s something we can ride high with for a very long time.”
Not since a 2011 win over Florida in Jacksonville had Georgia held a team to negative rushing yards. The Aggies had 9 rushing yards through three quarters, but their lone rush of the fourth quarter was actually Tyler Clark’s 10-yard sack of Kellen Mond, which wound up derailing Texas A&M’s last possession of the game.
