Georgia’s Deandre Baker sends reminder to Gamecocks with interception
It took Deandre Baker only 47 seconds and five plays to tell South Carolina wide receiver Deebo Samuel who he was.
Baker, named a preseason first-team All-American by the Associated Press, took advantage of a hit by D’Andre Walker which derailed a pass and sent the ball toward the senior cornerback’s hands.
From there, it was green grass toward the end zone, where Baker would have scored if not for dropping the ball to the field before crossing the goal line. Baker had not only made up for a pass interference play earlier in the drive, but hushed a raucous Williams-Brice Stadium and reminded the Gamecock sideline of his accolades.
