Rather than wearing their regular red jerseys at home, Georgia sported black jerseys at the game. They have worn black twice before, including in the 2008 Sugar Bowl, winning both games. Bulldogs' head coach Mark Richt also urged fans to wear black in the stands, to create a complete black-out of Sanford Stadium.3
