2. Channing Tindall is a bad bad man

Channing Tindall stepped up in a big way on Saturday for the Dawgs as he led the team with three sacks.

After losing Adam Anderson, Georgia needed the other linebackers to step up and fill the void. So far, the Dawgs have done that and haven’t missed a beat. Against the Vols, Tindall recorded eight tackles, three sacks, three tackles for loss, one forced fumble, and one quarterback hurry.

All three of his sacks came in the second half of the game when the Dawgs needed a stop, and Tindall gave it to them. He is another guy on Georgia’s team who likely increased their draft stock on Saturday.

Tindall was so explosive, and Tennessee’s offensive line couldn’t contain him. He is part of a linebacker group that made a statement on Saturday as they were responsible for a good chunk of the defense’s success.

Georgia needed to get in the quarterback’s head, and Tindall did it at will. Regardless if it were Hendon Hooker or Joe Milton, if they saw 41 coming their way, it rattled them.

He was a force for the Dawgs, and it’s only polite to call him a bad man because we mean that in the best way possible. Tindall is so talented, and he blossomed on Saturday against the Vols. This performance is the second time he recorded multiple sacks against the Vols, so he enjoys provoking some pain against this SEC East foe.
