ATHENS — It happened so fast during the course of Saturday night’s that many might not have noticed.
Late in the fourth quarter, on first-and-goal at the Tennessee 2-yard line, Georgia lined up in the I-formation. Lining up in that “I” was No. 32.
Chaz Chambliss, a full-time outside linebacker on the Bulldogs’ defense, has been doing some part-time work in practice as a fullback. Georgia finally got to unleash him in a game Saturday.
As lead blocker for running back Nate Frazier, Chambliss met Volunteers defensive backWill Brooks in the hole at right tackle and cleared the way for Frazier to score untouched. The play capped a 12-play, 92-yard that consumed nearly half of the fourth quarter and assured victory for 12th-ranked Georgia.
It was just another way for Chambliss to contribute to the Bulldogs’ cause. While he earns his money setting the edge for Georgia’s defense, the senior from Carrollton always has always been willing to help anyway. A long-time contributor on special teams, Chambliss now can add fullback to his resume.
