1. Isaiah McKenzie

When Georgia needed a big play, he was always there. From 3rd and long situations throughout the game, to an end around near the goal line, and to the very end on 4th and 10 with only a minute and a half to go.

He had 10 catches for 122 yards, two carries for 19 yards and three total touchdowns. Four of McKenzie’s receptions came on either third or fourth down.

Right now, he is the best player on Georgia’s offense. With defenses loading the box to shut down Nick Chubb, McKenzie has been the go to play maker for Jacob Eason and Jim Chaney. So far he has came through in spades.

It’s obvious that Eason feels most comfortable throwing to McKenzie, and the way certain other receivers have been dropping passes (looking at you, Michael Chigbu), that’s probably not a bad thing.

With his ability to change the game as a wide receiver and kick returner, it wouldn’t be surprising to see McKenzie become Georgia’s standout star this season.
