WATCH: Georgia coach celebrates too hard, temporarily injures player
Georgia freshman defensive back Rico McGraw helped the Bulldogs defeat Auburn by a score of 20-13, as part of a secondary that held the Tigers to only 62 yards passing.
With McGraw playing on the defensive side of the ball, he's generally expected to be the one making the hits. However, Georgia assistant coach Mike Ekeler adminstered perhaps the biggest hit of the afternoon -- on McGraw himself.
After a big play, Ekeler was overzealous and passionate, to say the least. Seeing McGraw, he excitedly gave him a considerable head-slap while celebrating. The hit dazed McGraw a bit, as he was instantly shook up.

Fortunately for both, McGraw was back on the field during the next defensive series for the Bulldogs.
If Ekeler has any eligibility left, Georgia might consider suiting him up as a linebacker.
