2. CJ Allen is the anchor Georgia’s defense has been searching for

Georgia's defense has a lot of great players, but all season they have been looking for someone to emerge as a true leader. Linebacker CJ Allen took a step in that direction against Florida on Saturday.

Allen was all over the field all night long and ended up recording a whopping 13 tackles in this game. This brings his total to 56 this season which isn't too far behind his career high of 76 set last season. Allen also has three sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery this season as well which shows that he can impact a game in more than one way.

So it looks like Georgia has finally found their defensive leader in Allen who they can rely on to have a big game every time they take the field. And if he keeps performing at this level, he very well could go down as the next great linebacker in Georgia history.
