8. Nolan Smith and Travon Walker are freaks of nature

Two of the biggest stars on the Georgia football defense are Travon Walker and Nolan Smith. These two are freaks of nature that make opponents look straight-up ridiculous when they put their minds to something.

Walker recorded four tackles with one sack and two tackles for loss. Smith was a bit quieter with three total tackles and one tackle for loss. However, he did block the punt early on in the game that landed Georgia a safety.

Missouri had a hard time covering either one of those guys, and while the stats don’t necessarily say that, the duo flies around constantly if you watch the film.

Smith is such a force for the Dawgs. When he wants to prove a point, he does, and not many people can stop him. Walker is also someone who is getting hot at the right moment of the season.

While Georgia’s defense is full of playmakers, these two are so physically gifted, and when they do something big, it cannot go unnoticed.

Georgia needs Smith to keep it up after losing Adam Anderson this week, and Walker showed that he would make the play when he gets a look.

They shined against Missouri, and it’s hard not to brag about these two because they are so strong when they are playing well.
