Cincinnati came into the Peach Bowl undefeated and started strong, scoring first against Georgia. But Georgia didn’t take long to respond. Quarterback JT Daniels faked a shovel pass and launched a deep ball that turned into a highlight catch by receiver George Pickens, who capped off the play with a mouthguard flex and a stare into the crowd. The defender lost his shoe somewhere during the play, making it look even more dramatic. On the very next play, Georgia’s running back broke multiple tackles with a spin move and powered forward for a first down. Two big plays back-to-back had the Georgia sideline fired up.
Then momentum shifted. Georgia threw an interception, but Cincinnati couldn’t hold onto the return. The ball was punched out and bounced around before a Georgia player recovered it at the one-yard line. Chaos followed as players argued over who had the ball and who should get off who. After reviewing everything, the refs ruled Cincinnati would keep the ball at their own one. But being that close to their own end zone didn’t help much. They couldn’t get anything going and had to punt.
Later in the game, Georgia’s offense got back to work. Daniels found his favorite target again, who repeated the earlier mouthguard flex and added a blown kiss to the fans. Georgia kept scoring, chipping away at Cincinnati’s lead until they finally pulled ahead. In the end, Georgia took the win, finishing a chaotic, entertaining Peach Bowl with a comeback that sealed their season on a high note.
