​In a sloppy, low-scoring early season clash in 2002, Georgia and South Carolina battled to a 3-0 defensive standoff for much of the day. With the Gamecocks backed up near their own goal line, they surrendered a crucial touchdown to the Bulldogs, who led 10-0 after David Pollack’s dramatic 0-yard interception return. Pollack’s score would be the only TD Georgia managed, complemented by two Billy Bennett field goals to seal a 13-7 victory. The win helped propel Georgia to its first SEC title in twenty years, hinting early that the 2002 Bulldogs might be unstoppable—though that momentum would face later challenges. Pollack’s improbable play remains a memorable moment, reflecting the Bulldogs’ resilient path that season. Go Dawgs!
