How about Eric Stokes!!!

ChicagoDawg

Enough grousing. Eric Stokes stepped in and had one heck of a game. He came to UGA as a project. No one knew if he would pan out. He made a great play on the blocked punt. He came in for Campbell, Lock went after him, and he was solid at CB. How about some props for young Eric.

Divaad Wilson will push for playing time somewhere in the secondary next year. Looked like McGhee was playing star most of the time against Missouri.

My only critique is that he needs to get his head around.
He was in excellent position each time, covered the wideout like a glove, but on big stages, some refs over referee. (Ie natty last year)

Georgia teaches them not to turn and look for the ball if they are out of phase. If they are out of phase, they put their hands up and through the receiver's hands when the receiver puts his hands up.

He seemed to be blanketing the wr perfect each play, just turning his head slightly eliminates almost any chance of a pi call.

Pleasant surprise for sure. Great for depth for him to get some game reps too

It is always pleasant and encouraging when the "next man up" is actually able to step up and get the job done. I have to admit that I am still a little nervous when the next man has to step up; just too many years without this level of quality depth. (I look forward to how we look after another couple of years of Kirby and Company reeling in the big fish.) I was glad to see how Stokes handled the situation. Now we can really look forward to more from him in the future. BIG WOOF!!!

Extremely impressed with him. Also the simple toughness of Cambell. Guy played through a stomach bug, reports of him throwing up during the game. I don't know about you guys, but I'm a sniveling baby when I get a stomach bug.

It was fun to see. Very happy for this DAWG!!!!

This may surprise us fans, but coaches have praised him for awhile and he shared 1st team reps in fall practice.

Just rewatched the game and he had an excellent game. You can nitpick but the kid stepped up against the best quarterback we will face in the regular season and didn't flinch he deserves a bone!

Only if we gave them out. Sort of miss seeing the bones on the helmet

Apologies

He had a big bone along with the savage pads on the sidelines after his block and scoop. Maybe a ST thing?

Reminds my of CB Brent Grimes. Kid can play

I think Stokes may be the next great CB for UGA. Baker had his breakout game against Mizzu as well when he was a sophmore
