… but this is pretty cool.
I took this picture in the fall of 2014 on the field of Running Back University in Athens, Ga. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?
You can watch the two guys on the left play in #SBLIII in two weeks, and there’s a decent chance you’ll see the guy on the right win NFL Rookie of the Year. pic.twitter.com/Pm06scK4cm

Only thing is all three were recruited by a different coaching staff.

Also 1st school to have 2 1000 yard rushers in back to back years and all 4 were different players.

Marshall was a good kid but even healthy he was just a really fast guy at best. I can count on one hand the number of tackles I saw the guy break in his entire career.

Chubb would be Offensive ROY if it weren’t for a teammate of his names Baker Mayfield.
Still awesome to see. Oh, and we have more NFL starting backs coming in the next 3 years. Go dawgs.

What could have been …
Bobo could have not had Mason run a bootleg on 1st and goal in Columbia (and Gurley could have picked up the edge guy).
McGarity could have not hung Gurley out to dry and suspended Gurley for 2 games without providing details.
McGarity could have been more proactive to get Gurley back on the field for Florida rather than waiting until the week of the game to get the appeal in.
Gurley could have not gotten hurt against Auburn.
Richt could have not pooch kicked against Fech with the ensuing ability to get the game tied.

What? Are you nuts??
3 went around to the left on the fake. The guy that rushed Hutson was unblocked on purpose and on the right..
See, read option pass.
Stupid play because asking Hutson to beat any outside rusher for usc is a mismatch for us.

On the one where Gurley didn’t finish the block 11 should have thrown left to TK instead of trying to get it to 26 on the short side.

DGDs and UGA legends, all three of them. I’ll never forget Gurley’s first game/breakout party at UGA, when we immediately knew we had someone special as he ran that kickoff return for a TD on his first play. It’s been such a thrill to watch genuinely good kids like Gurley, Chubb and Michel go from young college players who brought UGA football back to relevancy to NFL superstars, not to mention multimillionaires.
I’m not that emotionally invested in the NFL but I’ll be cheering for both of them each time they get the ball.

It didn’t help this year. Both Emery and Sanders went somewhere else and UGA got caught holding the short straw

Michel/Gurley weren’t in the super bowl last recruiting cycle. Our RB room will always be crowded so it’s foolish to expect us to land every 5 star back. Doesn’t mean we won’t continually field the best RBs in the country.

Emery went back home to LSU. Had they not righted the ship when they did and turned the fan base around, we would have kept him, imo. Sanders was a loss, one we might not have taken if Holyfield’s decision was before ESD. As calidawg states below, we aren’t ever going to get everyone, but our philosophy of sharing carries and the OL success we are enjoying will keep us attracting solid candidates.
I am not concerned about our running game with Swift, Herrien, Cook, Zeus, and McIntosh on board. Cook needs another 10+ pounds to become a between the tackles back, and Zeus will have to get comfortable with those rebuilt knees, but we have time to bring another stud or two on board before we become needy. I kind of hope we don’t have two backs go for over a thousand this season, want to see a little more passing through out the game with a good mix directed toward backs and TEs. The run will always be a factor in UGA’s offense but we need more of a mix to keep defenses honest. Not arguing with our results, just feel we could be more dangerous than we have shown.
