With the injuries, attrition, and dismissals, getting to a bowl game would be a good accomplishment for a mostly young team. In Mark Richt’s first season at Georgia in 2001, the Bulldogs stayed the course matching their 2000 season. In 2002, Richt’s second season went 13-1 and won the SEC Championship and Sugar Bowl.
