Another name to know on the Tennessee defense is Theo Jackson. He is Tennessee’s top defensive back as he already has 10 pass breakups on the season.

Not to mention, Jackson has 6.5 tackles for loss, 60 total tackles on the season and 1.5 sacks. He is another guy the quarterbacks for Georgia need to pay attention to because he will be aggressive.

Jackson will likely cover Jermaine Burton, Ladd McConkey, Brock Bowers, Darnell Washington, or whoever Tennessee has deemed top priority. However, if another Dawg steps up because Jackson has the other covered, don’t be surprised if Tennessee moves him around.

To have 10 breakups on the season is impressive and shows how talented Jackson is on the field. Georgia’s wideouts must be ready to get pulled on and fight for the ball because he will be the guy who will do whatever it takes to make the play.

While he doesn’t want a penalty for pass interference, he will be the guy who pushes that limit of what is and isn’t interference.

Thankfully, Georgia doesn’t just have one guy who stands out in catching the ball as it has in the past. Instead, the Dawgs have five or six guys they can count on to make explosive plays. Tennessee isn’t the only offense that is explosive, and Georgia will prove that on Saturday.
