2. Trevor Etienne is a superstar

Georgia running back Trevor Etienne is a superstar. Some of you maybe already felt that way going into this game, but Etienne made a believer out of everyone else after his performance Saturday night.

Etienne was the featured back all night for Georiga, but that was expected after the Bulldogs had two running backs land on the injury report this week. But Etienne took advantage of his opportunity and rattled of 87 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries. He even added three catches for 23 yards in the passing game as well.

Georgia needed their star running back to have the best game of his season to win this game, and Etienne did just that. Especially with Beck and the Georgia passing offense having issues at times, Etienne was a steady workhorse who UGA could always rely on to pick up the first down or finish off the drive in the end zone.

Even when Georgia's two injured running backs return, I hope Etienne continues to be the featured back. He proved against the No. 1 defense in the country how dominant he can be, so Georgia needs to continue to ride his hot hand while he still has it.
