CFB: Field goal lifts No. 24 Georgia past Vanderbilt

Knowshon Moreno rushed for a career-high 157 yards in his first start for Georgia (5-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference), who danced on the Vanderbilt (3-3, 1-3) star at midfield after Coutu's kick sailed through the uprights.
Vandy's Cassen Jackson-Garrison fumbled 7 yards short of the goal line, setting up the Bulldogs' winning drive.
Matthew Stafford had 201 yards passing for Georgia, including 32-yard touchdown pass to Sean Bailey.
Sean Walker caught a touchdown pass and ran for another for Vanderbilt, who didn't score a point in the second half. Walker caught a 16-yard touchdown pass, originally ruled incomplete, to give the Commodores a 17-7 lead in the third quarter. Walker bobbled the ball twice, but appeared to control it before falling out-of-bounds in the back of the end zone.
Vanderbilt essentially found themselves playing a road game with Georgia fans painting Vanderbilt Stadium red in a rare sellout.
