Georgia football: Roquan Smith is defensive kryptonite

Roquan Smith’s personal drama on 2015’s National Signing Day signing day in Montezuma, Georgia, became the biggest Georgia football recruitment story since Herschel Walker’s signing on Easter morning in1980.

Smith first announced at his signing day press conference he would play his college ball in the Rose Bowl for UCLA. Smith changed his mind, and in the only game he played in the Rose Bowl, Smith earned the defensive player of the game honors as a Bulldog for his effort in the Georgia football team’s 54-48 double overtime win against Oklahoma.

Superman vs kryptonite

Herschel Walker was the 1980 National Champion Georgia football team’s offensive Superman – give him the ball and he leaps buildings to score.
