Jones was a great linebacker this year but the forced fumbles number is not equal to Teo's interceptions number. Also Teo had more tackles and was a more overall pressence on ND's team. Georgia did not have as much of an impressive team as Notre Dame and Teo competed with what is most likely the best front 7 defense in the last several years. He also did this through a rough period of time where others may have given up.
