2003 SEC Championship Game: LSU 34, Georgia 13 | Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GA. | December 6, 2003
Nick Saban's LSU Tigers delivered a statement performance against fifth-ranked Georgia, dominating from start to finish in a 34-13 win that would go on to propel the Tigers to a share of the national championship.
The game was effectively decided in the opening minutes. Freshman running back Justin Vincent broke off an 87-yard touchdown run just 10 minutes into the contest, setting the tone for a Tigers offense that would finish with 293 rushing yards on the day. LSU kept pouring it on, building a 17-to-0 lead about five and a half minutes into the second quarter, a stretch in which the Tigers had piled up 196 yards of offense while holding Georgia to negative 8. Quarterback Matt Mauck, the surprise MVP of LSU's win in the 2001 title game, added a 43-yard touchdown pass to Michael Clayton, and Vincent later scored again to help LSU pull away.
Georgia's most memorable moment of the day came...
