4. Sony Michel and Brian Herrien

Since the two of them were used equally to keep the other fresh, they should be mentioned together. Georgia has struggled for weeks to get the running game working, and they finally found some success Saturday against Tennessee.

Michel rushed for 91 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown. Herrien added 74 yards on 15 carries. On Georgia’s last scoring drive of the first half, the duo was unstoppable. They ran the same play, just switching direction for the entire possession and ended with a touchdown that gave Georgia a 17-0 lead.
