After the Yellow Jackets took a 3-point lead with 48 seconds remaining, Mike Bobo led the Dawgs on a 65-yard drive culminating in an 8-yard touchdown pass to Corey Allen with 8 seconds remaining. Georgia won the game 27-24.
The game featured one of Larry Munson’s legendary radio calls:
“Our hearts they was torn out and bleeding, we picked it up and we stuck it back inside. I can’t believe this. We won 27-24, and at the end we had no business winning this game.”
Below is a montage of Munson’s calls. A portion of the 1997 Georgia-Georgia Tech call is the second one (h/t BernieDawg):

This was one of my all time favorite games. We had traveled down to Warner Robins and were at Mother and Father in laws to enjoy the game together. By bro in law (tech student) was there. The game wasn't on Dad's TV so we fired up the stereo .... found Munson and were preparing to listen to the game when bro-in-law stated he was going to a friends as he had no interest in the game.The Gnats took a 3 point lead in the last quarter and things looked dim for the Georgia Bulldogs.......... Just about that time seconds left on the clock.. at this most dark moment for Dawg fans..... someone entered the house through the garage singing..........."I'm a ramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech.... and a hellofa engineer..... A HELLLOFA -HELLOFA -HELLOFA ENGINEER.........bro-in-law had developed a new found interest in the game and in singing. It was just about that time that Georgia's Corey Allen caught a pass in the Tech end zone, putting the world back in focus...silencing any further singing and proving once again that God is indeed a Bulldog. I smiled all the way back to Athens.
And I sang........"Glory, Glory to Ole Georgia" Sweet!
