Yep
Does anyone else wonder why they went for two there?
If they would've missed it, they would have needed 3 scores to tie. Now they still need two scores plus a 2 point conversion.

And just to show how bad their quarterback is playing, they are running the ball down 22 and can't complete screen passes anymore.

GEORGIA 37 NO. 5 AUBURN 15
No BCS for Auburn
Georgia rides interceptions, rugged defense to lopsided upset

</IMG> ROB CARR ASSOCIATED PRESS Jeff Owens celebrates with fans following Georgia?s surprising upset at Auburn.
AUBURN, Ala. ? Georgia did more than just spoil No. 5 Auburn?s title hopes. The Bulldogs finally played like defending Southeastern Conference champions.
With Tra Battle returning one of his three firsthalf interceptions for a touchdown and freshman quarterback Matthew Stafford?s poised passing and running, the Bulldogs salvaged a disappointing season yesterday with an emphatic 37-15 victory over the Tigers.
And those embarrassing losses to Vanderbilt and Kentucky? What losses?
"I?m definitely not thinking about Vandy and Kentucky," Georgia defensive tackle Ray Gant said. "That was easily erased from my memory with this win. This is the sweetest victory I?ve ever had."
Georgia (7-4, 4-4) all but erased Auburn?s hopes of even winning an SEC championship much less a national title.
The Tigers (9-2, 5-2) entered the game as nearly two-touchdown favorites and were among a handful of one-loss teams trying to play into a Bowl Championship Series title shot, having been ranked sixth in the BCS standings.
"They came here with a mission and got it done at the expense of us," Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said. "Today was one of those days where there wasn?t anything going our way."
The Bulldogs, who had lost four of their past five games, jumped out to a 30-7 halftime lead against the nation?s No. 4 scoring defense. They sacked Brandon Cox four times and Battle swiped three of Cox?s eight first-half passes.
No team had scored that many points against Auburn since a 38-17 loss to Arkansas in 2002.
"They just beat us. They had an answer for everything we did," said Cox, who was intercepted four times and went 4-of-12 passing for 35 yards. "It seemed like everything we did didn?t work."
The opposite was largely true for Stafford, who completed 14 of 20 passes for 219 yards, ran seven times for 83 yards and threw for a touchdown and ran for another.
"It?s definitely a big one for me and for the team," Stafford said. "We gave ourselves a chance even though a lot of people didn?t." Georgia outgained the Tigers 446-171 and held the ball for 38 minutes. Auburn?s Kenny Irons was limited to 49 yards on 10 rushes.
