Georgia Post-Game Notes: Oct. 10 at Tennessee Taking It To The House Again: Sophomore cornerback Brandon Boykin had the second 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown this season today to even the score at 7-all in the second quarter. Boykin and former Bulldog Gene Washington share the mark now with two kickoff returns for touchdowns in a season. In 1973, Washington’s two covered 96 yards vs. Clemson and 86 yards vs. N.C. State. Boykin had already broken the school record after taking a kickoff 100 yards back for a touchdown versus South Carolina. He is the first SEC player to have two 100-yard kickoff returns in one season in SEC history. He finished the day with 128 returns yards (32.0 avg) on four kicks to give him 529 kickoff return yards this season. Boykin’s return versus the Vols also ties the longest scoring play on the road in school history. Georgia had a 100-yard punt return for a touchdown in 1952 at Vanderbilt by Jimmy Campagna and a 100-yard INT return by Charlie Britt in 1959 versus Florida in Jacksonville. Since 1941, the NCAA put a maximum length on all plays at 100 yards. Points Off Turnovers: Opponents have now scored 71 points off 16 Bulldog turnovers this year. The Bulldogs are -11 in turnover ratio. Georgia has converted five turnovers into 13 points after Rambo returned his INT for a TD against the Volunteers. Georgia gave up one interception in the first quarter on a tipped pass from Bulldog quarterback Joe Cox. Cox threw another pick early in the second half. Senior SE Michael Moore fumbled a catch in the fourth quarter, which led to a TD. Moore had six catches for 49 yards. NCAA Leader Drew Butler On Target Once Again: Sophomore punter Drew Butler had to punt six times for a 49.8 average with four covering 50+ yards and one inside the 20. His first punt was his longest at 61 yards. He came in today leading the nation with a 49.8 average. Rambo Tallies INT, TD: Redshirt freshman safety Bacarri Rambo caught a tipped passed for an interception and returned it 28 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. This was Rambo’s second career INT and the first defensive TD for the Bulldogs this year. Georgia has had four INTs this year with Boykin also having two. This was the first INT return for a TD since Darryl Gamble returned a pair of picks for scores at LSU in 2008. Renner Blocks A Punt: Redshirt sophomore split end Zach Renner blocked a punt with :23 seconds left in the opening half to give the Bulldogs two points on a safety as it went through the endzone. This was the third blocked punt of his career after he tallied one against Alabama and Arizona State in 2008. Renner tied the school record for blocked punts in a career along with Corrie Collier, Kendrell Bell and David Pollack. Renner’s latest punt block was the 17th for the Bulldogs in the Mark Richt era. Walsh Drills Another 50+plus: Sophomore PK Blair Walsh drilled a 52-yard field goal late in the second quarter. He is 5-for-8 from 50 yards or more in his career and 3-for-3 from that distance in 2009. A.J. Leading The Way: Georgia sophomore FLK A.J. Green led the Bulldogs with 60 yards receiving and tied his career-high with eight catches. It was the third time he had eight receptions in a game. Freshman WR Marlon Brown had his first career reception on a 9-yard catch in the 2nd quarter. Starters: Freshman TE Arthur Lynch started the first game of his career. The Bulldogs started two tight ends on offense, six linemen and no wideouts after starting their first drive on their own 1-yard line. Next Week: After today’s 45-19 loss, Georgia (3-3, 2-2 SEC) travels to Nashville, Tenn., for an SEC matchup with Vanderbilt on Saturday, Oct. 17. Vanderbilt plays Army today. The Bulldogs have won 13 out of their last 14 games versus the Commodores, including a 24-14 homecoming win in 2008
