Well deserved
LINEBACKER – Kyle Efford, Georgia Tech, LB, Dacula, Ga.
Efford posted a game-high 11 tackles and recorded a game-sealing interception in Georgia Tech’s bowl-eligibility-clinching 31-22 win over Syracuse. Efford's 11 tackles were a career-high. His first career interception came with 2:18 to go in the game to seal the victory. However, perhaps his biggest play of the game came in the third quarter when he and teammate Horace Lockett teamed up to stuff Syracuse on fourth-and-one from the GT 32-yard line, which gave Tech the ball back with its 24-10 lead intact. The big play proved to be instrumental later in the game when the Orange pulled within two points at 24-22. Efford led a defensive effort that saw Tech limit Syracuse to just 259 yards, nearly 100 yards below the Orange's 357.6-yard average this season.
