The defensive line was one reason Georgia was held to 57 yards in the first half, and the Bulldogs still didn’t eclipse the 300-yard mark. Moore added a sack, while Broughton netted six stops.
LB – Anthony Hill Jr, 51.8, Liona Lefau, 62.6
Hill and Lefau combined for eight tackles and one tackles for loss. Hill had an interception (taken away) and fumble recovery he almost housed.
CB – Jahdae Barron, 80.1, Gavin Holmes, 66.1
Barron continues his march towards the Thorpe Award after his late fourth quarter interception gave the Horns life to set themselves up for overtime. Holmes played well too.
S/N – Michael Taaffe, 69.3, Andrew Mukuba, 82.4
Led by a team-high 11 tackles and two tackles for loss for Mukuba, both safeties continue to play fantastic and had a pair of hits that shook the Bulldogs ball-carriers to their core. Taaffe added four tackles and one TFL.
