That's Mr. Houston to You

Yes. He's a badass. The SEC Defensive Player of the week now is now tied for the lead nationally in Total Sacks with 9.5 according to CFBStats.com.

The only thing missing from his game is an inside spin move. He's so fast rushing up field past the OT that teams often call the inside draw play to run inside his attack route. If he could vary his approach a little with an inside spin, he could further disrupt the opponent's play calling.

Houston is currently on pace to record 15.5 sacks this season. Although, that number will be almost impossible to hit with GT throwing the ball so infrequently and Cam Newton being so super human difficult to sack.

UGA single season sack leaders:

14 - David Pollack (2002)
13 - Mitch Davis (1993)
12.5 - David Pollack (2003)
12 - Richard Tardits - (1988)
12 - Jimmy Payne (1981)

SEC career sacks records:

52 - Derrick Thomas: Alabama '85-88
49 - Billy Jackson: Ole Miss '80-83
37 - Ben Williams: Ole Miss '72-75
36 - David Pollack, UGA '01-04
33 - Alex Brown, UGA '98-01
32 - Reggie White, UT '80-83
29 - Richard Tardits, UGA '85-88

For his career, Houston currently has 19.5 sacks. He would need to stick around for his senior season to have a shot at the UGA career mark. And it would take one helluva a season to knock that record down.
