The lone offensive player on this list is Zamir White, the Georgia football running back that laid the final nail in Florida’s coffin on Saturday.

White finished the game with 14 carries for 105 yards and one score while averaging 7.5 yards a touch. His 42-yard touchdown run helped that average out, but still, he became the first Dawg all season to record over 100 yards in one game.

That touchdown came late in the game after Florida finally got into the Dawgs endzone and felt like they needed to beat the Gators by 27 points instead of 20.

White leads the Dawgs on the season with 97 carries for 505 yards, which is about 5.2 yards a touch, and he has eight touchdowns.

The last few weeks, his attitude on the field showed that White wanted a break-out game, and he finally got it. Georgia is a run-by-committee team, and there is nothing wrong with that, but to see a guy like White get that 100-yards was exciting.

White earned every bit of it too, he refuses to go down easy, and it tasks multiple defenders to get him.

He was the only offensive player that earned a helmet sticker because he understood the assignment and wasn’t falling short on that long touchdown run. White knew if he got in the endzone, he would go down in Georgia-Florida history, and well, now he is there.

That run will be one Georgia fans remember as the final nail in the coffin that allowed the Dawgs to beat the Gators by almost four touchdowns.
