After a so-so game against ULM, Dominick Sanders certainly made his mark in the UGA-Vandy game with his 88-yard interception return for a touchdown to essentially seal the victory for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Even though he is only a true sophomore, Sanders has the potential to become one of the all-time great defensive backs to play for the Red and Black. He was the first guy to Commit To The G following the Jeremy Pruitt hire and this former 3-Star DB Recruit could force his way on to an All-SEC Team should he continue to grow in 2015.

UGA needs a new leader to emerge in the secondary after Damian Swann’s graduation. While UGA can handle the responsibilities by committee, I think that Dominick Sanders rises to the challenge and becomes that leader in the defensive backfield in this rivalry game.

Look for Sanders to have a crucial pass breakup in a 3rd and long situation for the Georgia Bulldogs. Should there be an errant pass, perhaps Sanders again takes an interception to the house versus the Head Ball Coach and Sakerlina. Here’s to wishful thinking, Go Dawgs!
