Atlanta — At this point, we’re taking small steps. In a big game for Georgia, the opposing team’s star injured his receiver, turning the tide of the game.
In 2021, Alabama’s Jameson Williams and John Mechee suffered non-contact injuries that eventually resulted in torn ACLs. I got a concussion after getting a bone rattling hit from a certain Javon Bullard.
Ohio State coach Ryan Day said, “I’d say losing Marv didn’t affect the game, but it definitely did.” I can’t say enough about how he fought with all that was given to him in the.I’m proud of the way he played.”
Georgia had no answer Saturday night as he caught Harrison five passes for 106 yards and scored two touchdowns. He did all of that in three-quarters and nearly achieved his third touchdown, which would be a backbreaker for Georgia.
Ohio quarterback CJ Stroud lobbed Harrison’s pass into the end zone and the sophomore receiver found a way to pull away from Georgia cornerback Keely Ringo. Like a giant peach in Atlanta, the ball slowly descended into Harrison’s hand like a clock ticking to midnight.
But when the ball arrived, so did Bullard. He banged Harrison and sent him and the ball to the ground. A targeting flag was called upon hit, but was picked up and waved after review. Day was told by officials that Harrison was not hit in the head during the play.
This play would be Harrison’s last, as he left the game with a concussion and did not return.
It was violent, but the hit wasn’t a perfect hit from Bullard.
“It was really just CJ Scramble. He played with his feet and threw the ball up in the air,” Bullard said. I just tried.”
