Georgia Football: The top 21 moments that made 2021 epic
18. Zamir White’s 42-yard touchdown run against the Gators
Georgia football running back Zamir White was a big factor in the Dawgs’ success this past season, but his best performance came against the Florida Gators, putting his 42-yard touchdown run at No.18.
Plus, that was the day the SEC Network’s Marty Smith told his story about him overcoming a lot of health issues as a child. So to see him shine the way he did, was fate.
White recorded 14 carries for 105 yards on the day, including a 42-yard touchdown run to make it 34-7.

The Gators had no answer for him, and to see him finally break off a big run like that was good for his confidence.
What makes his performance so memorable is that the Dawgs had to win the ground game, and White made that happen.
There were a lot more big plays from this Florida game that make this list, but White deserves some credit because when no other running back could get much going, he did and found a way to help the offense.
His lone touchdown against the Gators was the icing on the cake in beating their biggest rivals on the schedule by 27 points.
