I came across something Paul Myerberg wrote about Georgia before the 2013 season…
Georgia is 18-3 since the start of the 2007 season when intercepting two or more passes, including a 3-0 mark in such games a year ago. In fact, this record improves to 18-1 when counting only regular-season games; two of these losses came in bowl play, to Michigan State in the 2012 Outback Bowl and UCF in the 2010 Liberty Bowl.
… and decided to rummage around cfbstats.com to see how the Dawgs fared since Myerberg posted that.
- 2013: 1-1
- 2014: 3-0
- 2015: 3-0
All told, 7-1, which adds up to a 25-4 mark over the last nine seasons. That’s not too shabby there.

Any idea what’s the average win % of all teams who intercept two or more passes? Did a quick search & can’t find anything.

I wonder what the winning percentage is when we score more touchdowns than the other team. Ahhh June.

Golly–they should just try and do that every time then.

So if the opposing team never throws a pass….

Pretty much what Florida did (or did not do) 2 years ago.

the 25-4 mark (86.2%) is slightly ahead of the Richt mark at 10 wins a season (83.3%) 12 game season.

Georgia’s cumulative record over that nine-year period is 85-34, a 71.43% clip.

…which proves that Mark Richt is no offensive genius. His record was propped up by 2 interception games.

Better question in my opinion: How do you lose a game when you have two interceptions?

Maybe if your opponent has 3 interceptions!

By scoring fewer points than the other team 😉

Reminds me of the Auburn game when their QB went 4 for 12 passing with four interceptions. Then the same kid threw 4 interceptions the following year in the blackout game. We need more opposing QBs like that guy.

I’ve got a better stat:
Georgia is 31-0 when scoring more than 60 points.
