Georgia DB Daylen Everette snags tip-drill INT as Texas WR Isaiah Bond watches

Georgia’s defense has been creating havoc since the kickoff of Saturday’s SEC Championship Game between the No. 5 Bulldogs and the No. 2 Texas Longhorns.

A couple of tipped passes didn’t lead to a turnover as Texas moved the ball down the field, but then another tipped ball finally led to the Bulldogs claiming possession.

As you can see below, Georgia DB Daylen Everette tipped the ball into the air and then caught it in front of Texas WR Isaiah Bond, who just watched it happen before pushing Everette out-of-bounds following the interception:

Bond might face a bit of criticism from the coaching staff during film sessions this coming week. But the good news for Bond and the Longhorns was that the defense held Georgia to 0 points on the ensuing drive.

Texas has struggled on opening possessions this year. Here’s a look at the Longhorns’ opening drives:

• 4 punts
• 4 turnovers
• 2 missed field goals
• 3 touchdowns

So it wasn’t all bad, as they did get the 3 opening-drive TDs, but having 10 of your 13 first drives ending without points isn’t great. The Longhorns will need to get off to a hot start in their first drive of the Playoff or else they could find themselves in hot water.
