… on the morning of Sunday, October 5th, you knew that Todd Gurley (94 rushes, 773 yards rushing) would not make the trip to New York for the Heisman ceremony and Nick Chubb (31 carries, 224 yards rushing) would be named first team All-SEC and the SEC Freshman of the Year by the AP.
Yeah, we all saw that coming. Sure has been a funny season.
Speaking of funny, check out Todd Gurley’s rushing game log.
Sigh….

Todd ran for over 900 yards in 5 1/2 games. Unreal!

He would’ve topped 1,800 yards if he’d played all 12 games, and likely be close to 1,900. (And a much more solid hold on the 2nd place all-time rushing list.)

Gurley did that against 5 power conference teams and one Troy. Incredible.

I hope Gurley completely recovers from his injury and goes on to have a stellar NFL career,

Damn..TGII & A.J. missed so many games in their 3 years in Athens… 😦

When I saw the picture of Chubb’s vertical leap at the track meet in Jefferson, I knew we had someone special coming in. Bruiser running backs are a delight to watch.

It’s quite simple really. Dawgs win that UF game and stroll into The Dome if Gurley is available, rather than turtling up after the week of speculation and letdown. But again, without TGII in the SECC I would rather see Missouri take the whipping.

Just goes to show the uselessness of spending all summer predicting wins, Heisman winners and playoff teams.

Knowing UGA’s reputation for suspending players and sustaining ACL injuries, I would not have been suprised if someone told me on October 5 that both were going to happen.
I probably would have just rolled my eyes again.

The Todd Gurley situation pretty much sums up UGA football since 2006…Loads of unmaterialized talent and potential. #Sad

186 carries for 1281 yards.
In his 7 starts: 155 carries for 1,057 yards
Extrapolated to a 12 game season: 265 carries, 1812 yards.
(possibly more, since Chubb missed Troy, Tenn, and Vandy)
