On the Aggies' first possession of the game, they drove to the Kentucky 11, where Greene stormed in from his outside linebacker post on fourth-and-1 to fell the runner for no gain and turn the ball over on downs. On Texas A&M's second possession, which reached the UK 27, Greene again quelled the advance, intercepting a pass and returning it seven yards. In the third quarter, on a third-and-2 play, he again sliced from the edge to hold the runner to no gain, forcing a punt that Kentucky eventually turned into a touchdown drive. For the game, Greene totaled six tackles, an interception, one-half tackle for loss and a fourth-down stop for a turnover on downs. - SEC Football
