Georgia football play of the day – Georgia vs Auburn (2017)

Watch the Georgia football play of the day here!

It’s Tuesday, September 1, just 25 days until Georgia football is scheduled to kick off versus Arkansas.

Today’s play of the day comes from the 2017 SEC Championship game which featured No. 6 Georgia and No. 2 Auburn.

Auburn had thrashed the Bulldogs in their annual regular season matchup 40-17, so Georgia was looking for some redemption this time around.

We pick up early in the second quarter with the Tigers up 7-0. Auburn has controlled the pace of the game so far and faces a third and six from the Georgia 14 yard line.

Watch what happened next here:

A turning point for Georgia who would go on to score 28 unanswered points and secure its first SEC title since 2005. Truly an outstanding defensive performance by the Bulldogs in this one.

Auburn star quarterback Jarret Stidham was held to 145 yards passing and the Tigers offense tallied just 259 total yards.

 

Houston Texans sign UGA’s Davin Bellamy to practice squad

The Houston Texans have signed former Georgia Bulldog linebacker Davin Bellamy to their practice squad.

The Houston Texans have signed former Georgia Bulldog linebacker Davin Bellamy to their practice squad. Bellamy was previously with the Texans when they signed him as an undrafted free agent after the 2018 NFL Draft. Bellamy spent 2018 on Houston’s practice squad.

In 2019, Bellamy primarily played for the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad. Now, he’s returned to Houston, who is facing the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs this weekend.

Bellamy will look to make Houston’s roster in 2020 and establish a larger foothold in the NFL. Bellamy reportedly rejected rejoining Cincinnati’s practice squad.

Bellamy recorded 13 sacks and 135 total tackles as a Georgia Bulldog. He’s continued to play OLB at the NFL level.
