Tennessee's Cordarrelle Patterson cut Georgia's lead to just 6 points (PATs are at a premium today) on an impressive 46-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, reminding us again just how important that nasty recruiting business is in February.
Cordarrelle Patterson, Michael Bennett remind us all about the importance of recruiting
Recruiting giveth and taketh away for Derek Dooley.
Patterson was heavily recruited by the Dawgs (as well as a host of other SEC teams) before signing with UT out of junior college in February.

That’s Michael Bennett, the UGA receiver of touchdown catches of 8 and 32 yards in the third quarter alone, meaning that, so far, Derek Dooley’s recruiting prowess is being outscored 13-7.
