10/02/21 - RB Zamir White, rJr/2022, Georgia

Zamir White rushed for two touchdowns and recovered a blocked punt for another score, and No. 2 Georgia pounded No. 8 Arkansas 37-0 on Saturday in the Bulldogs' second consecutive shutout. Georgia (5-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) raced to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter despite playing without quarterback JT Daniels, who was held out with a right lat injury. Stetson Bennett filled in for Daniels and passed for only 72 yards as the Bulldogs relied on their running game and top-rated defense to beat Arkansas (4-1, 1-1). Georgia, leading the nation in total defense and scoring defense following last week's 62-0 win at Vanderbilt, held Arkansas to 10 first downs and 156 yards.

The Bulldogs rushed for 273 yards while continuing their committee approach at running back. James Cook had 87 yards on 12 carries. Kenny McIntosh had 57 yards. Kendall Milton ran for 48 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown. White had scoring runs of 3 and 15 yards. He finished with 68 yards on 16 carries. Georgia stretched its lead to 21-0 when Dan Jackson blocked Reid Bauer's punt and White fell on the ball in the end zone. Daniels was in uniform, but he missed his second game of the season after testing the injury in pregame warmups. An oblique injury kept Daniels out of the Bulldogs' 56-7 win over UAB on Sept. 11. Arkansas also had quarterback questions after KJ Jefferson missed most of the second half of last week's win over Texas A&M with a bruised left knee. Jefferson returned for the final drive and had the knee wrapped while starting against Georgia. Jefferson completed 8 of 13 passes for 65 yards. Malik Hornsby took over at quarterback in the final quarter. - Georgia/AP College Football
