In the UGA game we were obviously planning a fg if we didn't score the winning td. I'm trying to recall the last time the Tigers won a game in regulation with a last second (or even late) fg.

Recall we kicked a fg with 1:40 in the 05 Auburn game to get into OT, but can't recall last time Tigers won a game on late fg. [Tried to win the 07 UK game on long fg, but just missed.]

Anybody recall that happening?

I found one - Sept.11, 1993

LSU 18 MooState 16. Lafleur FG from 26 yards w/ 10sec left in game.

Anything more recent?

In all honesty, I was worried we wouldn't even get the chance to try the field goal. If Scott gets stopped on 2nd down, what do we do on 3rd? I'm guessing a pass play if it were 3rd and 4 or more. I was just worried that the combo of a line not blocking well and young QB not having developed a clock yet would result in a sack taking us out of range. Was anybody else worried about that at that time in the game? Or do you believe we would have just run again anyway and were already planning on taking a long field goal attempt?

I have to honestly say that I didn't like running one play, then calling one of your two timeouts. It looked as if we were almost content to line up with a 45-50 yard FG at the end.


Back to the original question, I know it wasn't the most recent, but given that it was vs UGA, I think the last time we won in Athens was on a David Browndyke last second FG.

all this is a mute point if hawkins intercepted the ball. aj green made a hell of a play on the ball. if it was any other wr the game would have been over. the sport channels all over and everybody would say that we are turning the corner.but it took a great play for uga to stay in it.we are getting better ever game the defense is win the game for us in the flordia book it.

Browndyke kicked 4 fgs in the 26-23 LSU win, but the winning score was a 5 yard td pass from Hodson to Brian Kitchen.

Getting back to the original question, we beat Ole Miss in 2006 on a Colt David field goal in overtime to win. It was a "walk-off" kick, if you will.
