Tennessee-Georgia: post-game awards


  • Best Ripley's Believe it or Not: More than half a hundred on the Georgia Bulldog defense?  The one that was 32nd nationally in rushing defense, 6th nationally in total defense, 5th nationally in pass defense, and first in scoring defense?
  • Best Jekyl and Hyde: John Chavis' defense, which, in the first half, forced no turnovers and gave up 210 yards, two touchdowns, and a field goal to the Georgia offense.  In the second half, though, the defense forced three interceptions and one fumble, and allowed Georgia only 106 yards and nine points.
  • Worst memory: Tennessee fans, who, despite the historical implications of such an attitude, were all chatty before the game about the Vols' margin of victory and backup QB Jonathan Crompton's playing time.
  • Worst good news, bad news:  The good news?  It's looking like Tennessee might be able to run the rest of the SEC table.  The bad news?  It's looking like Florida will.
  • Best repeat performance: Erik Ainge, who traveled to Athens for the second time and came out with a second win and some pretty nifty stats as well:  25 of 38 for 268 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Worst repeat performance: Georgia's special teams return units, which followed up last year's punt return for a touchdown with one 86-yard punt return for a touchdown and one 99-yard kick return for a touchdown.
  • Best return of a favor: Tennessee sealed the game with a four-minute minute drive for a touchdown (actually two of them in a row) while protecting the lead.  Sort of like Georgia did to us last year.
  • Best new star: Antonio Wardlow, who scampered around a defender to block a punt in the end zone, bounced up,  and ran down the ball before it wobbled out of bounds, scoring a touchdown.
  • Best hops: Head coach Phillip Fulmer,  who made like a pogo stick after the surprise Gatorade victory bath.

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
