Spotlight #1: Georgia OT Cordy Glenn
Spotlight #2: Georgia CB Brandon Boykin
1st quarter
13:02: Glenn looking awesome and powerful here early. Here he has an excellent 2nd level block.
12:34: Glenn blocks well again, excellent powerful hands, great technique, Aaron Murray is getting forever to throw.
11:59: Tackle for a loss on the play, but don’t blame Glenn, who has yet another excellent 2nd level block.
11:12: Glenn powers a guy out of the way for Aaron Murray to get out of the pocket for a decent run, not quite enough for the 1st however. 4th and 1.
10:20: Glenn, high motor, pushing a guy far into the 2nd level after the pass is released. He didn’t stop once the ball is released. He immediately became a 2nd level blocker and overpowered his guy, who wasn’t playing with the same motor.
8:36: Boykin takes a poor angle to the ball after a check down.
6:56: Boykin whiffs on a tackle on an end around.
2:37: Glenn man handles a man in pass protection. He’s so big and strong and he’s just long arms and knows how to use them. You can’t even see the guy behind him he’s so big.
2:02: Glenn doesn’t pick up a secondary block on an outside run that goes nowhere.
0:56: Glenn gets great push on Georgia’s 4th down conversion, a quarterback sneak on 4th and inches. The Bulldogs have converted several short downs in this game and Glenn is a big part of the reason why.
2nd quarter
8:53: Boykin on Da’Rick Rogers, Tennessee’s top receiver, and allows the 12 yard completion. Rogers got separation with speed.
4:35: Excellent job of Glenn of bending his knees. He’s not a natural knee bender and he hasn’t bent as knees as much as you would like in this game, but he did well here.
3rd quarter
11:38: Glenn left to block two guys and has a lot of trouble. It was like he couldn’t decide between them and he let both get pressure.
4:33: Boykin thrown against deep and it’s not completed. Nice recovery by Boykin on what initially wasn’t the best coverage.
1:44: Glenn whiffs on a cut block on a short 3 step drop.
4th quarter
14:12: Glenn struggles on another cut block. He’s not very agile.
4:02: Boykin thrown on, tight coverage, but an excellent throw by the quarterback. Boykin does a good job of mirroring the receiver when he changes directions.
3:23: Completion in Boykin’s area in prevent coverage. Not Boykin’s fault though. He did the right thing on 3rd and 26.
0:00: Cordy Glenn is being scouted as a guard. He’s a former guard playing left tackle for Georgia. I think he could stay at tackle at the next level, albeit right tackle. He’s so big and powerful and uses his hands so well. He’s not a natural knee bender and he doesn’t have great agility and he struggles when he has to do “small guy” type stuff like cut blocks, but he’s so powerful in both run and pass protection. Unless you can beat him off the line, you won’t get past him. He’s also got a great motor and is a great 2nd level blocker. He’s a rising prospect right now and for good reason. He could end up in the first round as a right tackle or a guard when it’s all said and done.
As for Brandon Boykin, he was solid. He wasn’t thrown on a lot and he had a fairly tough assignment, guarding Da’Rick Rogers with Jim Bray throwing to him. He really struggled against the run and he is pretty small at 5-11 180. However, he does cover well and I think he could end up a 3rd or 4th round. He’s also very fast and athletic and can return kicks.
