Georgia may have lost star running back Nick Chubb to a serious knee injury Saturday against Tennessee, but there was still a game to be played and the Bulldogs really needed a win.

Helping the cause was linebacker Leonard Floyd, who in the first quarter scooped up a Jalen Hurd fumble and returned it 96 yards to the house.

Floyd, running out of gas, was nearly caught at the end by Volunteers quarterback Joshua Dobbs, but had just enough energy to cross the goal line and give Georgia a much-needed 7-0 lead.
