ATLANTA -- The play that changed Georgia's season might have been the moment that wrecked its season.
With 6½ minutes to go in the first quarter of the Bulldogs' opener against Appalachian State at Sanford Stadium on Sept. 2, quarterback Jacob Eason scrambled out of bounds near Georgia's bench. Mountaineers defensive lineman Myquon Stout hit Eason late, causing his left knee to buckle.
Eason, a sophomore from Lake Stevens, Washington, limped back to the playing field before collapsing to the ground in pain. He was helped off the field by trainers and wouldn't play again for three weeks because of a sprained left knee.
