Offense

#86 Tripp Chandler TE, Junior

With the big passing plays coming on the outside for the Bulldogs, teams will be keying on receivers such as Sean Bailey and Mohamed Massaquoi, which leaves a lot of room for Chandler to make plays down the middle of the field. The junior’s hands will be key on third downs.

#3 Andre’ Woodson QB, Senior

Woodson has been one of the league’s most prolific passers, with the quarterback throwing 29 touchdowns to only seven interceptions this season. Georgia’s defense has excelled at holding teams to three points in the red zone, and that will help against a strong Kentucky offense.

Defense

#44 Marcus Washington LB, Junior

The Georgia linebacking corps has been a revolving door all season. Although a starting lineup still hasn’t been set in stone, Washington should see a lot of time in the middle this week. The Keysville native has played in nine games this season, starting four of them.

#2 Marcus McClinton FS, Junior

McClinton is one of the leaders, along with LaGrange native Wesley Woodyard, of an underrated Kentucky defense. McClinton will show his coverage prowess as the Wildcats’ front seven seeks to make things hard for Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford.
