Georgia Bulldogs: Trey Burton
ATHENS, Ga. -- Forget the talk about Georgia’s Jordan Jenkins becoming the next Jarvis Jones.
Even if the freshman outside linebacker never matches the eye-popping statistics that Jones has produced in a season-and-a-half as a Bulldog, Jenkins has already emerged as a key defensive weapon himself. He certainly proved that in last Saturday’s 17-9 upset of then-No. 2 Florida, when he and Jones formed quite the dynamic duo -- typically as bookends on opposite edges of the line of scrimmage.
Jones produced one of the most memorable individual performances in recent memory against the Gators, but both players wreaked havoc against Florida while playing at the same time -- an opportunity that Jenkins hopes will arise again.
“We definitely were on the field a lot more in this game. I don’t know if it’s going to stay like that or not,” said Jenkins, whose sixth-ranked Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 SEC) host Ole Miss (5-3, 2-2) on Saturday. “Hopefully it does because I was doing some pretty good things.”
