I will throw in Richard Samuel III for UGA. He only got 58 yards against Florida. But I believe that all of them were in the second half and they iced the game for a 4 point win in 2011.
The kid was a damn good dawg his entire tenure at UGA. But the amount of games that he impacted could be counted on 1 hand. Helping the Dawgs to win the Florida game in that season, and he shouldn't ever have to pay a tab in Athens again.

The GOAT one hit wonder: Pulpwood Smith
As a freshman in 1983, Smith played in just one game, rushing for 25 yards on four carries against Kentucky. That offseason, he worked his way up Georgia's depth chart to the starting fullback position by the season opener of 1984.
Against Southern Miss to open the campaign, all eyes were on freshman tailback and future NFLer Lars Tate—the top running back prospect in the nation. Instead, it was Pulpwood who captivated the Sanford Stadium crowd, bursting for a 50-yard touchdown in the third quarter of a 26-19 Georgia victory.
Three games later against Alabama, Pulpwood ran for a 44-yard touchdown on the fourth play of the game, and on Georgia's next possession, added a 34-yard score on a burst up the middle. Two weeks later against Vanderbilt, Smith had a 47-yard touchdown run. Smith's long, scoring jaunts were reminding some of another Bulldog back, Herschel Walker, who had played just a couple years earlier.
Smith finished the year leading the team with 665 rushing yards and four touchdowns, and was recognized by Coach Vince Dooley as the team's best player. Nevertheless, during the spring of 1985, Pulpwood was declared academically ineligible and was dismissed from school, never to play football again between the hedges.
