Ladd McConkey has been on both sides of the Tennessee-Georgia rivalry, and now he’s enjoying what it’s like to be on the winning side this season.
The Georgia wide receiver grew up a Tennessee fan, but that’s all changed in recent years.
“This is definitely a special game,” McConkey said. “… I wouldn’t want it any other way, don’t get me wrong. I’m here, I’m Georgia until the day I die. I couldn’t have said that 10 years ago, but now being here, having the people support me that are here now, I just love it, it’s awesome.”
McConkey led Georgia with 5 catches for 94 yards and a touchdown in the 27-13 win on Saturday.

Jim Chaney reportedly spent 30 mins at his HS. It was a quick “in & out” visit. UT never offered pic.twitter.com/ccZi1pRqde
