Bring out the “turnover spikes.”

With the Auburn Tigers already holding a 7-0 lead and threatening to score again, Georgia outside linebacker Davin Bellamy came up with a huge strip-sack fumble in the SEC Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Early in the second quarter of Saturday's game, the Tigers had the ball on the Georgia 14-yard line. Bellamy tracked down Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham from behind and knocked the football out of his right hand. Bellamy’s fellow linebacker Roquan Smith jumped on the loose football to give possession back to Georgia.
