2016 UGA vs. Nicholls State - it was not extremely hot that day, maybe low to mid 90s, but it felt very hot. UGA pulled it out 26-24, so it was a win, but it sure didn’t feel like it. A lot of anxiety in the student section and the crowd in general.

2016 UGA vs. Vanderbilt - Same year. Wasn’t as hot but it was warm for October. UGA played terrible and lost 17-16 I think. At one point, we had a kickoff return where the returner caught the ball at the 1 yard line near the sideline and then fell out of bounds right after catching it. 4th and 1 at the end of the game, we ran a toss sweep with WR Isiah MacKenzie with Nick Chubb as the lead blocker. Head scratcher.

2019 UGA vs. South Carolina - Terrible game. Probably outgained South Carolina 2 to 1, but turned the ball over, missed field goals. Lost in overtime 20-17.

2016 Tennessee is an honorable mention, but even though it ended poorly for UGA it was a great game, and I didn’t want to include three games from the same season. 2016 GT also. There were some serious growing pains Kirby’s first season.
