Good God, the stats and data that I saw yesterday regarding 4th quarter performance and the Dawgs. The data comes from Cody Nagel but I’ll copy and paste here so you can gawk at it like I did.

Short analysis of this, if Georgia has a lead of 7 or more going into the 4th quarter, might as well pack it up and head home.

No team in the country is harder to come back against than Georgia. While 17 other Power Four programs finished with a perfect record when leading by at least seven points entering the fourth quarter over the past five seasons, the Bulldogs did it with the largest sample size, going 53-0.

Georgia’s company at the top is exactly who you’d expect: Notre Dame (44-0), Alabama (42-0), Oregon (49-1), Ohio State (48-1) and Michigan (46-1).

Good way to read this is that we rarely trail in games over the past five years heading into the 4th, in this case only 9 time, of which we won four of those games. Three of the five losses came against Alabama. Of course.

In this case, this is an analysis of games that are close (within six points) entering the 4th, and as you can see Georgia has had 10 of those, and won 8 times. The two losses? Last year against Alabama (regular season 24-21 at Sanford) and Ole Miss (39-34 in the Sugar Bowl). Ugh.

Still, that’s some nice numbers to see regarding 4th quarter performance for Kirby and Company. Will it last into 2026? I certainly hope it’s a lot of those 7+ or more leads heading into the 4th than within six points.
