ATHENS — Kelee Ringo added another memorable moment to his Georgia career with a textbook interception in the Bulldogs’ end zone.
Ringo’s interception came with Georgia leading 21-6 at the 4:52 mark of the second quarter over the CFP Committee’s No. 1-ranked Tennessee Vols.
Heisman Trophy candidate Hendon Hooker appeared to be in rhythm passing, and had just converted on a fourth-down run to the Georgia 39 when the Vols’ got greedy.
Hooker unloaded a deep ball down the right sideline intended for Cedric Tillman, but Ringo was running stride for stride and turned his head with the ball in flight.
It was Ringo — not Tillman — coming down with the pass in the end zone, reversing the momentum as Georgia stayed in command in the second quarter of the SEC East Division showdown.
Ringo’s interception against Tennessee might not be as famous as his 79-yard interception return that clinched the Bulldogs’ CFP Championship win over Alabama, but many at Sanford Stadium surely won’t forget the key play anytime soon.
