Georgia senior linebacker Chaz Chambliss put on quite the performance in the Bulldogs' 31-17 win over the Tennesse Volunteers.
Chambliss was credited with four solo tackles and two sacks for a combined loss of seven yards, and three quarterback hurries in the victory.
But perhaps his most exciting and underrated play in that game came when he lined up as a fullback during a goal-line situation in the fourth quarter to help block for running back Nate Frazier's final rushing touchdown of the night.
After the game, head coach Kirby Smart handed Chambliss his flowers.
"He's tough, he's physical. And when we had the offensive line injuries, we were forced to find a kind of another fullback body type because we've been using Micah there, and we've had guys out," Smart said. "I think Chaz's work ethic is buying into his leadership, his film study. Chaz knows what people are running before we do as coordinators sometimes because he looks at so much tape, and he uses those cues to help him and make plays.
"And he benefited a little bit Saturday. All sacks are not necessarily your play. Somebody else did a really good job and forced the guy to you. He capitalized on opportunities. And I really love the way he's working and playing with toughness."
Heading into Week 13 of the college football season against UMass, Chambliss has 32 tackles and 5.5 sacks on the season so far. 4.5 of those sacks have come in the last three games when Georgia has needed them the most.
Chambliss will only look to add some more sacks and elite blocks to his resume as he continues to make a name for himself in his final season with the Dawgs.
