2011 NCAA First Round Playoff-Georgia-22, LSU-17

Baton Rouge, LA-LSU dominated the college football in 2011, but they had trouble getting Aaron Murray and the Georgia offense off the field. Murray threw for 352 yards and 2 TD and the Bulldogs knocked off the top-tanked Tigers, 22-17. Georgia controlled all phases of the game, outgaining LSU, 481-254. If not for a pair of Georgia turnovers, the margin of victory would have been even larger.

Isaiah Crowell ran for 111 yards for the Bulldogs and helped to control the clock. LSU could only manage 40 yards on the ground. Despite rolling to a 13-0 record in the regular season, LSU could not manage a second consecutive victory over Georgia. The Bulldogs will travel to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama in the NCAA Quarterfinals.
