Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard had a fantastic postseason for the Bulldogs during their second consecutive national title run, earning Defensive MVP in both the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and the College Football Playoff championship game. Against TCU in the title game, Bullard forced three turnovers as the Dawgs won 65-7.
But no play was bigger than his crushing hit against Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in the back of the end zone to break up what could have been a touchdown, pending the ref’s decision whether or not to call illegal touching had it been caught. Bullard’s hit was initially ruled targeting, but the call was overturned and allowed Georgia to keep things close enough to pull off the victory.
