UGA football: J.R. Reed has 'savage moment' on Georgia's first defensive touchdown of season | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

J.R. Reed extended his arms out while he was hoisted up on his teammates shoulders. He was donning the golden spikes, which are awarded to defenders who come away with turnovers, as those around him celebrated in jubilation.

Soaking in the moment, Reed was in glee after scoring his first-ever fumble recovery for a touchdown.

“You could call it a savage moment,” Reed said.

Georgia defenders have referred to themselves as savages when getting after the opposition.

On Reed’s touchdown, with 5:21 remaining in the third quarter of Georgia's 42-7 win over Florida, he and defensive back Tyrique McGhee both came on a blitz and hit Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks, forcing him to fumble the ball.
