Countdown to Kickoff: 4 Days

It’s hard for a single player to dominate a game by himself in football. It’s REALLY hard to do so as a defensive player. That’s why when it happens, it tends to stick in your memory forever. On October 17th, 1987 Aundray Bruce did just that in Atlanta, GA against the hapless Yellow Jackets.

This was a bad Georgia Tech squad yet somehow they were in a very good position to win this football game. Imagine what position they would have been in if Aundray Bruce hadn’t been on the field that day.

The Montgomery, AL native recorded nine tackles, three sacks, three interceptions (A DEFENSIVE LINEMAN HAD THREE INTERCEPTIONS), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the Tigers’ sloppy victory.
