I still don't think I've totally recovered from that emotional game Saturday.
Perhaps that's what Miss Colombia felt like when she was crowned Miss Universe, only to then be told "Oops! We meant this other woman."
Because that one hurt.
But enough of that, let's talk football.
1) Why is it always Georgia?
I saw a metric put out by ESPN late Saturday night that said Georgia has now been on the losing end of two of the top four most improbable comebacks in the last five years, the 2014 debacle against Georgia Tech being the other.
Somehow I wasn't surprised, and then noticed that the list didn't even include the 2013 "Prayer at Jordan-Hare" against Auburn or the 2012 SEC Championship game.
It just got me wondering: Why us?
Why is it seemingly always Georgia that is on the losing end of the so-called "instant classics"? When will it be our turn for a miracle?
Oh, right. We had one Saturday night, and managed to lose to a bigger miracle.
I'm working on a theory — which has thus far proven bullet-proof — as to why that is the case.
Follow me on this.
Sometime in 1979, Vince Dooley must've made a sacrifice to Satan to get Herschel Walker, and a national championship.
And since he was rewarded his due, the Bulldogs have been paying the price with heart break and torment ever since. We keep getting tantalizingly close, but always falling just short.
It's flawless logic, really.
2) The running game.
Lost amid the vomit-inducing outcome was the fact that Georgia's run game, with only a single carry from Nick Chubb, found its footing again.
Sony Michel (16 carries, 91 yards, 1 TD) and Brian Herrien (16 carries, 74 yards) both had good days on the ground, and the Bulldogs amassed 181 yards rushing.
Hopefully this will give the offensive line a boost going forward, and take some pressure of Eason and the receivers.
It certainly gives some confidence for me that the offense could have some semblance of balance.
3) The freshmen.
Another item lost in the outcome was the fact that Georgia's freshmen really played well.
Eason, of course, played admirably, and we saw big games out of Herrien, TE Isaac Nauta and WR Riley Ridley.
It'll be interesting to see how the chemistry among the young guys grows moving forward, and perhaps give us a glimpse of things to come.
We've seen other freshmen show flashes this year already, including TE Charlie Woerner and RB Elijah Holyfield.
Given that the SEC East is just about sunk, I wouldn't be surprised to see more young guys gobbling up some playing time down the road.
