Often in college football it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Fittingly, diminutive receiver Isaiah McKenzie made all the difference for Georgia in the Bulldogs 28-27 victory over Missouri.
McKenzie’s 4th down reception was fairly improbable, for a variety of reasons. For one, he was matched up against Missouri’s top cover corner, Aarion Penton. McKenzie gives up two inches of height and twenty pounds of weight to Penton, who was moved over to shadow him on the final Bulldog drive, and had done so up until this play.

McKenzie lines up tight to the line, and Penton plays him tight.
