ESPN’s Ed Aschoff predicts Todd Gurley won’t be this year’s SEC rushing champ, which is okay, but not for the reason you might think:
Georgia’s Todd Gurley has yet to make it through an entire season healthy…
Did I miss something? Was it another Todd Gurley who finished second in the conference in rushing attempts in 2012? How unhealthy can you be and do that?
Those 222 attempts were nineteen more than Davis had last season, by the way.
Get The Picture 
I could see Gurley not leading the SEC in rushing because he’ll (hopefully) be sharing more carries this year with Marshall, et. al.

Yeah but he only played in 14 of the 14 games that year. Any chance we run wildcat if Mason goes down this year? Seems like we score touchdowns 50% of the plays where Todd gets the snap.

First Adelson, then Aschoff. ESPN needs better talent writing about college football.

I agree, but fans will read anything on the subject. I bet the traffic numbers are insane for these posts. I’ve read a lot of Aschoff’s stuff and I’ve yet to come away impressed by any of it. Yet here he is. I’d love to know what he (and his fellow conference bloggers) make.

I know he played in all of the games, but I recall him being injured his Freshman year. Maybe I am wrong, but that is my (and seems to be others) recollection. Deep thigh bruise maybe?
I’m excited for Keith Marshall, interesting what Gurley pointed out earlier in the camp about him not going down as easy as in the past. That was always a mystery in my mind- he never seemed to get many yards after first contact. Sounds like that might change. Wonder if the arm whirl will still be in there.
There are a lot of UGA in the playoff predictions out there which scares the hell out of me. Also, Desmond Howard has predicted us to go to the final game. The curse of death, I’m guessing.

With people like Aschoff and Adelson writing for them, how much longer will the WWL be the WWL?
Senator, GTP is better than pretty much everything that pretends to be serious sports journalism today. Most of the commenters here could be better opinion people than the idiots who actually get paid to write this drivel.

ESPN will be the WWL as long as they dominate the live event coverage. That’s what people want. That’s why FS1 is struggling. No studio show will drive ratings. Live content people want (games) will, however.

Point taken but their online content is not befitting the WWL moniker.

Absolutely.
I was watching Fox Sports South tonight for the Braves game, and the FS1 commercials were pushing the Wofford vs. Georgia Tech home opener (with Tech’s “prolific offense”… seriously) as their big opening-day game in the 12:30pm timeslot, as well as the “Bates & Bowden” (Terry) college football show. Yuck.

Just 4 more days until it begins to be proven. When Sir Todd and company strap on their gear and hit the field of battle, all the yammerers and trolls will have their chance with the rest of us to find out how prescient they (and we) were. I’m a Chicken Little about Georgia Football from way back. But when you actually check out TG’s past performances, it’s not injuries you walk away thinking about. It’s his rare combination of speed, power, endurance and grit. So listen up, whippersnappers: us old timey Dawgfans know a thing or two about college football running backs. We have seen the very goldurned best, and then some. This ol’ boy says Todd Gurley is for motherf-k–g real and will prove the Hell out of that in 2014.
