Nazir Stackhouse says returning INT was difficult ‘when you got all that meat right there’

The Georgia Bulldogs got another big win on Saturday night, as they defeated the Missouri Tigers, 30-21. It was a very competitive game, as the Tigers were down only 6 with the ball midway through the fourth quarter.
One of the defining plays of the game was a Georgia interception against Missouri QB Brady Cook. It wasn’t by a secondary player, but rather, senior defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse, who is listed at 320 pounds. He nearly scored a touchdown, but was caught after returning the ball 44 yards.
While the interception was a special play, his response when talking about getting caught was also hilarious.
Dying at this Nazir Stackhouse quote, after Brock Bowers apparently joked about his INT return:
"You gotta give me some type of credit… My chest started to stick out, my stomach started to stick out, it's hard to pick up your knees when you got all that meat right there"

“You gotta give me some type of credit,” Stackhouse said. “My chest started to stick out, my stomach started to stick out, it’s hard to pick up your knees when you got all that meat right there.”
The interception was the first of Stackhouse’s career and he has 11 tackles with a sack after the game. It was one of the 2 interceptions for Georgia’s defense on the day, as Javon Bullard also picked off Cook.
With the win, the Bulldogs set a school-record with their ninth consecutive win against ranked teams. Georgia has a chance for its 10th next weekend, when the Bulldogs host Ole Miss.
