A.J. Green haunted Arizona State for the second year in a row. In a game featuring more raincoats than Redcoats, Blair Walsh nailed a 37-yard field goal at the buzzer to lift No. 21 Georgia to a 20-17 win over the Sun Devils at Sanford Stadium. Sophomore wide receiver A.J. Green, who had a career game against Arizona State last year, blocked a field goal in the fourth quarter and later hauled in a 36-yard reception on third down. Georgia (3-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) committed three turnovers in the second half, letting the Sun Devils back in the game. Arizona State (2-1) had a chance to take a late lead. But Bobby Wenzig's 38-yard field-goal attempt with 4:31 remaining got blocked up the middle by Green. Against Arizona State last season, Green posted 159 receiving yards and a touchdown. In the first quarter, he hauled in a 56-yard scoring pass from Joe Cox in the first quarter. Cox, the reigning Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week, threw two second-half interceptions, extending Georgia's turnover margin to minus-9 on the season. The Bulldogs led 14-9 at halftime and appeared to be cruising when the turnover bug bit again - in dry weather. Arizona State scored 14 points off a fumble and an interception to take a three-point lead. Georgia's much-maligned defense, which entered last in conference scoring (34.0 average) and total defense (406.3 yards per game), contained the Sun Devils. Despite allowing Dimitri Nance to rush for 108 yards on 23 carries through three quarters, the Bulldogs pressured quarterback Danny Sullivan at times and held him to 9-for-24 passing with no touchdowns and one interception through three quarters. Arizona State took advantage of Georgia's 10th turnover of the season, a Caleb King fumble on the Georgia 37. Nine plays later, Sullivan connected with Nance on a 6-yard touchdown pass to pull the Sun Devils within 14-10 midway through the third quarter. Arizona State safety Jarrell Holman picked off a high Cox pass at the 47. Holman then shook off three tackles en route to the end zone to give the Red Devils their first lead of the game at 17-14 with 5:25 left in the third quarter. Blair Walsh's 21-yard field goal tied the game 17 seven seconds into the fourth quarter. Fred Munzenmaier scored on a 2-yard run late in the first quarter to push the Georgia lead to 14-3. The junior fullback has now scored on each of his three career carries. The SEC Rocks!
