Georgia Brock Bowers Christopher Smith Malaki Starks Stetson Bennett LSU Missouri (Organization) CBS Sports SEC Smael Mondon

The Georgia Bulldogs are 13-0 after winning the 2022 SEC championship against the LSU Tigers. Let’s take a look back at Georgia’s top five plays from the 2022 college football season.

Jalen Carter’s sack against LSU, Stetson Bennett’s great escape and touchdown pass against Oregon, and Brock Bowers’ juke on his long touchdown reception against South Carolina were all great plays, but none of them made our top five.

Here’s how we rank Georgia’s five best plays of the season before the Bulldogs play in the College Football Playoff:

5
Brock Bowers' touchdown reception against Florida

Brock Bowers showed incredible concentration on his long touchdown catch against the Florida Gators.

4
Stetson Bennett's long touchdown run against Auburn

The Auburn defense parted early in the fourth quarter and Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett took off. Bennett showed off his speed in the long touchdown run.

3
Smael Mondon's freak interception in the SEC championship

This play is not all luck. Safety Christopher Smith had a well-timed pass deflection against LSU. The ball bounced off the head of the LSU receiver and somehow ended up in the hands of Georgia linebacker Smael Mondon.

2
Christopher Smith's blocked kick return for touchdown

Georgia’s Nazir Stackhouse blocked a LSU field goal in the SEC championship. Senior safety Christopher Smith saw one side of the field was wide-open, so he returned the blocked kick for a touchdown.

1
Malaki Starks' touchdown-saving tackle against Missouri

Malaki Starks’ touchdown-saving tackle against Missouri should not be overlooked. Starks, who had an incredible interception against Oregon, hustled to tackle Missouri’s running back. Georgia held the Tigers to a field goal and completed a second half comeback on the road.
