Tyrique McGhee shines bright as Georgia football’s next man up

Georgia football’s undersized and battered Tyrique McGhee accepted a position change from star and safety to cornerback last week.

One Foot Down called the resulting performance by Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book the second least effective performance of his career.

For McGhee and the Bulldogs, their performance was a Glory! Glory! moment.

Hard and soiled

Georgia football had just rolled back up the welcome mat Saturday when top cover cornerback Eric Stokes went down with an injury.

Transfer DJ Daniel was already subbing in at one corner for Tyson Campbell, and Kirby Smart replaced Stokes with the undersized McGhee.
