The Georgia Bulldogs will take on the Michigan Wolverines in the College Football Playoff semifinal Dec. 31. Georgia received the No. 3 seed in the CFB Playoff after losing to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. During a recent press conference Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean was asked about taking on Michigan in the CFB Playoff. Dean leads the Bulldogs in tackles (61) and tackles for loss (8.5), and is second on the team in sacks (five).
“For the most part, they seem like a really good team,” Dean said. “They have good players; they are well-coached. I’m just looking forward to the game and the opportunity to play them.”
Dean also reflected on the defense’s performance against Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. The Bulldogs were defeated by a score of 41-24, the most points they have given up all season long.
“For the most part, the defense, we had discussions on the team about how we are going to build off the game and the type of impact it had on us there,” Dean said. “We look forward to having nothing but a positive impact, like Jake (Camarda) and Jordan Davis. Like we say, smelling salts, kind of woke us up a little bit. So, it’s stuff like that and fighting to make us work harder.”
