3. Zamir White shined in the game he needed to the most
After eight long games, finally, one of Georgia football’s running backs toted the rock for over 100-yards, and it isn’t shocking to see Zamir White was the guy who did it.
The redshirt junior ran the ball 14 times for 105 yards and one score. He hammered down the final nail in Florida’s coffin when he broke loose for 42 yards to make it 34-7 and give Georgia a 27 point win.
White has worked so hard to get where he is right now, and throughout the last few weeks, the way he has run during games, it’s exciting to see him hit that triple-digit mark.
It was a big day for White as he was one of the SEC Nation’s featured segments, and he pulled at everyone’s heartstrings before lunchtime, then he produced on the field.

No one deserves it more than this guy because he has fought to overcome the adversities and be a leading running back at an SEC school.
White deserves an individual slide because what we saw out of him on Saturday shows us he is just getting started, and the remaining four to six games could get interesting with him. Who knows, he could explode and rack up the rushing yards because it would be silly not to feed him with the way he is running.
Georgia is a run-by-committee team, but if he gets hot, then White deserves to get a majority of the carries. After he outran the entire Florida defense on Saturday, Smart and Todd Monken should give them to him.
