First Quarter
As much as No. 1 LSU said it wasn’t looking ahead to the national championship game Jan. 9, the Tigers sure didn’t show it in the first quarter of Saturday’s Southeastern Conference championship bout with No. 12 Georgia
LSU came out of the gates flat, gaining a total of 11 yards in the first quarter without earning a first down.
No. 12 Georgia on the other hand, racked up 134 yards and got on the board first when senior kicker Blair Walsh nailed a 40-yarder on the Bulldog’s opening drive.
Georgia successfully converted a surprise onside kick on the ensuing possession, but the Tigers held the Bulldogs scoreless on the drive.
After another bland drive by LSU, Bulldog quarterback Aaron Murray connected with tight end Aron White for a 12 yard touchdown, to put Georgia up 10-0 as the quarter ended.
