I don't think we all know that. I was there and Georgia was the better team in almost every area (except QB), bigger, better, faster, stronger but Stroud played out of his mind that night and Bennett was a little off until it really mattered late in the game.
It wasn't a helmet to helmet hit. The refs picked up the targeting flag. Javon Bullard hit Harrison below his helmet with his shoulder. He didn't go in with the helmet and when you watch the replay you see Bullard using his shoulder, not his helmet.
And you're partially right, if Javon Bullard doesn't make an incredible play Harrison scores and Ohio State probably wins.
That's football, though. One team makes more plays and usually wins and that was Georgia that night and honestly the way Bennett, Bowers, Carter and Bullard played in that game and for most of the season, nobody could beat them.
Bullard, btw, is available in this draft and would make a helluva Dolphin. Could probably get him 3-4 rounds after Marvin Harrison goes.
Georgia isn’t winning that game if Harrison doesn’t get hit in the head.
And it was helmet to helmet. But not intentional.
