And I’m not looking for the Stanford Band here.


For Georgia players like freshman AJ Kruah from Philadelphia — the Eagles‘ current complement of former Bulldogs on the roster — helping them to shape a Super Bowl assortment of players —is the possibility of the opportunity of getting a chance to play for one of the best organizations in the NFL, which is the chance of a lifetime.


And one thing is clear — the Eagles recruit talent from everywhere.

Last week in the Sugar Bowl,  Georgia had one last chance. Actually , they had several.

Georgia was trailing Ol’ Miss 37–34 with six seconds left. On the ensuing kickoff — Georgia attempted a lateral after running the ball out of the end zone — a play that concluded with the ball being thrown out of bounds in that same end zone for a safety to make the score 39–34. As both teams stormed the field — the officials regained order as time had not expired — forcing the trophy and the stage back off the field.

Georgia then kicked the ball onside — and recovered it seemingly as the game ended. But the clock had not started, forcing the stage and trophy off the field again.

Finally, after one last gasp for the Georgia offense from their own twenty-nine-yard line and a series of laterals — Gunner Stockton was tackled to end the game — allowing the stage and the trophy to finally get onto the field.


The game was finally over.
