CJ Allen
Georgia Bulldogs junior CJ Allen has become one of the team’s key playmakers over recent seasons.

Georgia trailed Tennessee 21-17 entering the third quarter. But Georgia made an amazing comeback, traveling 75 yards in 14 plays with three 3rd down conversions en route to Josh McCray plunging in from one yard out for what proved to be game-winning score and winning for nine consecutive times in ranked games since Kirby Smart became head coach.
Knoxville hosted an exciting battle between Georgia and Tennessee that featured eight lead changes and 15 scores, serving as a reminder of some classic matchups played between these teams recently. Georgia hadn’t won at Georgia since the end of Mark Richt’s era in 2011, while Tennessee lost in this stadium on a Hail Mary pass back in 2013.
There was much doubt among Georgia fans whether their young offense would be able to handle Neyland Stadium. Georgia showed them otherwise with a solid defensive effort, limiting Texas to four passing touchdowns and one rushing score while recording zero false starts from their inexperienced offensive line.
KJ Bolden and Joenel Aguero each intercepted Joey Aguilar passes for easy pickoffs from KJ Bolden and Joenel Aguero – giving Georgia an early edge in SEC East race as their record now stands at three wins out of three versus Alabama (2-0, 0-0 SEC). Georgia will host Alabama (2-0, 0-0 SEC) next weekend in Athens when Georgia faces off against Alabama (2-0, 0-0 SEC).
They will meet again against Alabama (2-0, 0-0 SEC). Georgia will then host Alabama (2-0, 0-0 SEC).

They will next return home against Alabama (2-0, 0-0 SEC), on September 27.
Joenel Aguero
On Saturday, Georgia’s defense struggled at times against Tennessee, surrendering 496 yards and 41 points. Yet even with such subpar play from its entirety, certain individuals stood out. Joenel Aguero stood out with four tackles, two pass breakups, and an interception he recorded during Georgia’s win.
Aguero stood out with his physical play. Not shying away from physical challenges, his efforts helped the Bulldogs stave off an intense Tennessee comeback attempt in overtime.
He also provided crucial hits when the team needed them – something Georgia offensive line was struggling with against Tennessee’s rush attack.
In the fourth quarter, Aguero broke up a pass that set up Tennessee for third-and-8. On the next play however, he allowed for a 12-yard completion which Smart pointed out postgame as being his mistake; yet at the same time praised Aguero for his overall effort and physicality.
Peyton Woodring stood out as another key factor in helping the Bulldogs control special teams during this game, going 4 for 4 this season and 25 for 27 (92.6%) in his career. Prior to Saturday, Woodring stressed conditioning while admitting his love of road kicking. As evidence of such valuable talent joining their squad.
Bo Hughley played an essential role in Georgia’s offensive line’s recovery by replacing Earnest Greene at right tackle and helping Georgia eat up time on both of Tennessee’s final drives.
Hughley has proven an invaluable asset as Georgia still seeks consistency on their right offensive line side, providing Georgia with another weapon should one be required against Alabama next weekend at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
