#11 Kentucky vs. #1 Georgia. 12:30 PM PST
Number 11 takes on number one in a college football game of the week. What 2022 NFL Draft prospects should you keep an eye on?
Players to watch:
Georgia:
Lewis Cine S
Adam Anderson LB
Jordan Davis DT
Nakobe Dean LB
Derion Kendrick CB
Kentucky:
Chris Rodriguez RB
Josh Paschal DE
Wan’Dale Robinson WR
Yusuf Corker S
Kentucky RB Chris Rodriguez
Kentucky has been flying under the radar this year, but it’s time to take notice. They will have their hands full with number one ranked Georgia this weekend, and this provides some very interesting matchups. Georgia’s defense is tough, but Kentucky has some playmakers on offense. Chris Rodriguez is an excellent running back. I want to see if Rodriguez can produce against defensive tackle Jordan Davis and linebackers Adam Anderson and Nakobe Dean.
Darian Kinnard has been flying up draft boards, this guy looks like a stud at the offensive tackle position. He looks to be a first or second round pick at this point. If Kentucky wants to do anything against a tough Georgia defense, Kinnard is going to be a key to their success. He may also have to deal with linebackers Anderson and Dean blitzing from the linebacker position.
Georgia CB Derion Kendrick
Wan’Dale Robinson has been quietly explosive for the Kentucky offense. Can safety Lewis Cine and cornerback Derion Kendrick keep Robinson in front of them? Wrapping Robinson up is going to be important for the Georgia Bulldogs, because Robinson is a slippery receiver.
On the other side, George Pickens has been a guy we’ve had our eye on for a long time. He’s a big star receiver in the making, but he needs to be healthy. Pickens made the trip last week, he’s been running routes in practice for a few weeks, is this the game we finally get to see Pickens? If so, Yusuf Corker will have his hands full.
