Georgia & LSU Record Big Wins in SEC Battles
November 6, 2022
Georgia and LSU recorded key victories in their respective divisions of the SEC which will make their roads to the SEC title game a little easier. The No. 1 ranked Bulldogs used a stingy defense that sacked Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker six times enroute to a 27-13 victory over the Vols. In SEC West Division action, No. 17 LSU used a two-point conversion in the first overtime to beat then-No. 6 Alabama, 32-31. Georgia remains No. 1 and LSU rises to No. 8 in this week’s USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.
