To find a representation of Georgia’s offensive struggles in early action against Tennessee, look no farther than Bulldogs tight end Isaac Nauta.
Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm took the snap on third down, and the Bulldogs were already in position to post its first points, but then pass protection broke down. Once in search of a receiver, Fromm was stripped and brought to the ground by Tennessee linebacker Darrell Taylor.
It was Nauta’s fault, until he proved to be hero.
He scooped up the fumble and found space, worked past a few Tennessee defenders and somehow found the end zone 31 yards later.
