Georgia survives Purdue in overtime.(The Orlando Sentinel)
Byline: Alan Schmadtke
ORLANDO, Fla. _ What could have been a blowout became a shootout, and like all good ones, this one had a climactic ending.
Senior-laden Purdue rallied from a 24-point deficit with 17 points in the fourth quarter Thursday and gave the Capital One Bowl its first overtime game, but No. 11 Georgia got the key break to win in the extra period.
A pass-interference penalty on Purdue's Bobby Iwuchukwu set up Kregg Lumpkin's 1-yard touchdown dive on the first possession in overtime, and Georgia linebacker Tony Taylor stole Kyle Orton's last pass on fourth down, sealing Georgia's 34-27 overtime triumph before a dizzied 64,565 at the Florida Citrus Bowl.
"Unbelievable. Unbelievable," said Georgia defensive end David Pollack, who had three sacks and seven tackles. "We went through so many emotions the last few minutes."
The precursor to overtime dramatics were just as stunning: No. 12 Purdue narrowly missed recovering an onside kick near the end of regulation after slicing Georgia's lead to 27-24.
Then, as Georgia tried to run out the clock, Shaun Phillips punched the ball out of Lumpkin's grasp as he reversed field on a sweep. Defensive tackle Craig Terrill recovered_an ensuing lateral, then another fumble recovered by the Bulldogs, was disallowed_and the Boilermakers suddenly had life at Georgia's 34 with 1:19 to go.
