georgia–japan relations
the sugar bowl, the second bcs bowl, and the final game of six played on january 2, 2006, was contested at the georgia dome in atlanta, georgia, having been, like the new orleans bowl, displaced from the louisiana superdome by hurricane katrina. west virginia, representing the big east as conference champion, upset georgia, the winner of the sec championship game, 38–35. georgia was looking for its third straight win in atlanta in as many appearances, having won its last regular season game (against rival georgia tech on the tech campus) and the sec championship game (over lsu) at the georgia dome, located near the bulldogs' athens, georgia campus, but west virginia took a 28–0 lead in the game's first 16 minutes and withstood a furious georgia comeback before scoring late in the fourth quarter to secure the win. mountaineers freshman running back steve slaton began a career day early, running for a 52-yard score just 2:48 into the game en route to accumulating 204 yards on 26 carries against a bulldogs defense that entered the game having allowed only 3.5 yards per carry. on the subsequent west virginia possession, freshman quarterback pat white accounted 56 yards of a 64-yard scoring drive, connecting with wide receiver darius reynaud for a three-yard touchdown pass; reynaud caught six passes for 50 yards on the day. just two plays into the next bulldogs drive, running back danny ware lost the first of what would be three georgia fumbles on the day, and west virginia took just five plays to go 26 yards, scoring a touchdown on a 13-yard reynaud run. the mountaineers defense stymied an additional georgia drive and forced a fumble by georgia quarterback d.j. shockley, setting up a 50-yard drive that culminated in slaton's second touchdown scamper, an 18-yarder that gave west virginia a 28-point lead just 15:50 into the game. shockley began to have success against the mountaineers defense in the second quarter, completing three straight passes for a total of 46 yards before running back kregg lumpkin, who finished the day with 67 yards on nine carries, scored from 34 yards to put georgia on the board. after their defense forced a west virginia punt, the bulldogs went 91 yards in just six plays, with thomas brown's scoring on a 52-yard run; brown has held largely in check the remainder of the game, totaling only 78 yards on nine carries. a long run by west virginia fullback owen schmitt, who finished the day having run for 80 yards on nine carries, set up a 27-yard pat mcafee field goal, but shockley, who finished the day having completed 20 of 33 passes for 278 yards and having gained 62 yards on eight carries, drove his team 80 yards in under five minutes and hit wide receiver leonard pope, who caught six passes for 52 yards on the day, from four yards to cut the west virginia halftime lead to 10 points. after combining to give up more than 600 yards in total offense in the first half, both defenses tightened in the second half and although brown lost a fumble to the mountaineers, neither team managed a score until 1:44 remained in the third quarter when shockley hit a.j. bryant for a 34-yard touchdown to bring the bulldogs to within three points. white continued to play well through air and on the ground in the fourth quarter, though, and led his team on an 80-yard drive that ended when slaton ran for a 52-yard touchdown and once more extended the west virginia lead to ten. for the game, white completed 11 of 14 passes for 124 yards—completing four passes for 64 yards to senior brandon myles, his leading receiver—but also added 79 yards on 24 carries in contributing to his team's 386-yard rushing performance. shockley drove his team once more, connecting with mohamed massaquoi, whom he four times for 43 yards on the day, to convert a crucial third down and then finding bryan mcclendon, who caught three balls for 72 yards, on a 43-yard scoring drive. the bulldogs defense held but west virginia punter phil brady successfully carried out a fake punt and ran for a first down, allowing the mountaineers, behind slaton and white, to run out the clock, run their season to 11–1, and prevent the big east from going winless in four bowls; south florida, rutgers, and louisville had all lost earlier. the game was the final of three games hosted by the georgia dome in four days; the chick-fil-a peach bowl was held on december 30, and an nfl contest between the carolina panthers and atlanta falcons was played on january 1, which the panthers won 44–11. the game returned to new orleans in 2007.
