13. Georgia football sacks Tennesse QBs six times

The second most sacks in a single game came during the Tennessee game, which gives us the No. 13 best moment of the 2021 season.

Georgia football loves to wreak havoc and succeed against the fast-paced Tennessee offense — the Dawgs had to get Hendon Hooker and the other Tenessee quarterbacks uncomfortable.

The Dawgs did more than put pressure on them — they bullied them all night long.

Georgia finished with six sacks, nine tackles for loss, 27 quarterback hurries, three forced fumbles, one interception and six pass breakups.

There wasn’t much the Dawgs didn’t make happen on defense that night, and Hooker had to take a couple of ice baths to feel better.

Nakobe Dean led the team with 11 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, two quarterback hurries, once forced fumble, and one pass breakup.

However, Channing Tindall got to the quarterbacks the most with three sacks, three tackles for loss, and four quarterback hurries.

Those two put on a defensive clinic against the Vols and showed why Georgia has the best linebackers in the country.

We included this performance because this defense handled their business against an offense that was faster than any other one they faced up until this point in the season, so to wreak that much havoc is noteworthy.
