Dobbs a surprise leader on No. 2 Georgia's defense
"I started out rushing the passer and he got rid of it so I dropped back," Dobbs said. "It was a great play by Prince Miller to tip the ball. We are taught to run to the ball. I ran to the ball, caught it and saw green. I was fortunate enough to score a touchdown."
Dobbs may not start if Georgia returns to a four-man defensive front against South Carolina, but he is expected to be part of a rotation.
Georgia has averaged 50.5 points and 543.5 yards in nonconference wins over Georgia Southern and Central Michigan, but it could use scoring help with another big defensive play in its first Southeastern Conference game against South Carolina.
The Gamecocks did not allow a touchdown in a 16-12 victory at Georgia last season. They also held Georgia out of the end zone in a 14-9 win in Athens in 2001.
Georgia took five straight wins over South Carolina from 2002-06, but it scored more than 20 points only once in that span.
The Gamecocks are 1-1 following a loss at Vanderbilt.
"South Carolina has a great team and a great coach," Dobbs said. "They have some good playmakers. They are coming off a loss, so they have a monkey on their backs. We have to be ready to play."
