Edwards recorded 11 receptions for 67
yards, but the 1997 Biletnikoff Award fi
nalist never seemed to get on track.

quarterback Tim Rattay threw a pass on a
wide-receiver screen pattern that Edwards
caught, but he immediately slipped to the
turf for no gain on the play.
Edwards averaged only six yards per
catch for the game.
The Bulldogs’ high-octane passing of
fense averaged only eight yards per pass
completion in the game as compared to the
12.5 yards per completion they averaged
entering the contest.

“They were nasty conditions, but we
got done what we needed to get done,”
Stewart said. “We missed opportunities
with turnovers, but we played to win, and

make more throws, but we probably had a
good throwing day anyway.”
