His performance was a key factor in securing the victory, proving his value as a reliable playmaker.

Outside Linebacker Chaz Chambliss

Chaz Chambliss has been a key contributor since his freshman year at Georgia and he had his best performance pass rushing performance of his career against Tennessee. Chambliss recorded four tackles, two sacks, and two tackles for losses helped the defense shut out Tennessee’s offense in the second half.

Offensive Tackle Monroe Freeling

The left tackle position was questioned after Earnest Greene’s performance in last week’s loss against the Ole Miss Rebels. Monroe Freeling earned his first career start against a strong Tennessee defensive line led by future first-round pick James Pearce Jr. He excelled in protecting Carson Beck’s blindside, playing a key role in the offensive line’s outstanding performance, which allowed no sacks.
