Cox threw for 153 yards and two touchdowns late in the game to lead Georgia to a comeback win, 14–13.[4] Cox started one more game in the season, in a 14–9 victory over Ole Miss, but eventually lost his starting place to the highly-touted Stafford, who went on to be the first overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft.
