Should have run on first down. Now they were behind the chains.

3rd and 1, 3 yard run

1st and 10, 4 yard run
2nd and 6, 2 yard run
3rd and 4, 2 yard pass

Seems like a good mix here and just did not convert on 3rd down.

3rd drive (24-27)
1st and 10, 36 yard pass
1st and 10, 10 yard run
1st and 10, incomplete pass
2nd and 10, incomplete pass
3rd and 10, interception

Bad things happen when defenses know UGA is going to pass.

4th drive (24-34)
1st and 10, delay of game
1st and 15, incomplete pass
2nd and 15, 9 yard run
3rd and 6, interception

Again, bad things happen when UGA pass the ball.

Overall UGA was pretty productive running.
