[edit]Controversies
[edit]Late in the fourth quarter just before the two-minute warning, Georgia Tech had the ball on their own 30-yard line on third down and one, where quarterback Haynes King fumbled which was recovered by Georgia defensive end Chaz Chambliss. However, controversially on the hit that caused the fumble by Georgia safety Dan Jackson, some argued that the hit should have been called targeting which would have given Georgia Tech the first down, and the ball back.[9][10]
Media and celebrity reactions
[edit]After the game many[who?] questioned Georgia's talent level and playoff hopes.[11]
