KEVIN BUTLER’S PLAYERS OF THE GAME<br />
Each week, <strong>Georgia</strong> and Chicago Bears<br />
Hall of Fame legend Kevin Butler<br />
picks his Players of the Game. A<br />
member of numerous Halls of<br />
Fame and holder of a slew of<br />
records, Butler co-hosts DawgTalk<br />
on <strong>Georgia</strong> Football Saturdays<br />
and the famous Bulldog Brunch<br />
from the Hilltop Grille on Sundays.<br />
— COMPILED BY JEFF DANTZLER<br />
OFFENSIVE PLAYER<br />
Darnell Washington - <strong>The</strong> tower of power had another very<br />
productive game that helped the <strong>Georgia</strong> offense find pay dirt<br />
late in the fourth quarter versus a focused Missouri football<br />
team. #0 does what he does best, YACs -getting those “yards<br />
after the catch” that makes a big difference to the <strong>Georgia</strong><br />
offense. Standing 6-7, 270-pound - at least - Darnell is averaging<br />
18 yards per catch this season and complemented those stats<br />
Saturday with three catches for 64 yards. When Darnell catches<br />
the ball, it’s easy to see the Tower of Power but watch the film<br />
and witness what a superior blocker Darnell has turned into.<br />
Whether it’s through the air or pushing people on the ground<br />
Darnell is another star on the <strong>Georgia</strong> offense.<br />
DEFENSIVE PLAYER<br />
Malaki Starks - <strong>The</strong> freshman sensation from Jefferson, <strong>Georgia</strong><br />
plays like he is a seasoned veteran in the <strong>Georgia</strong> defensive<br />
backfield. Standing 6-1, 205-pound, Malaki is not intimidated<br />
by anybody he has faced. Registering six tackles with four<br />
solos and a pass deflection, Malaki is a force in the secondary<br />
for UGA. Not many freshmen step in on defense and make a<br />
name for themselves like Malaki has. His hustle was evident by<br />
running down a Mizzou player to stop a dagger, touchdown<br />
opportunity for Missouri at the 1-yard line. This gave the defense<br />
an opportunity to complement Malaki’s hustle and turn Missouri<br />
back from the end zone forcing them to settle for a field goal.<br />
Malaki is a great athlete and gives <strong>Georgia</strong> a shutdown DB for<br />
years to come.<br />
SPECIAL TEAM PLAYER<br />
Jack Podlesny - In a game that featured kickers, Jack performed at<br />
his best against Missouri. 4 for 4 on field-goal attempts, registering<br />
14 points that gave <strong>Georgia</strong> the ability to stay close to Missouri<br />
until the offense found the end zone. Jack is becoming one of the<br />
most reliable kickers in all of college football and will certainly<br />
play a role in every game the Dogs face in the SEC. A native of<br />
St. Simons - all the people that live there are certainly excited to<br />
watch their home boy take good care of the dogs using his right<br />
foot. He may not weigh as much as Mavis (Mizzou’s kicker) but we<br />
will take him every day as <strong>Georgia</strong>’s kicker.<br />
