America’s best running back comes out of Athens

For years, Georgia has known how to bring the bite at the running back position.

This season, the Dawgs will be feeding the ball to 5’10” 220-pound boulder Nick Chubb.

Last season, many Georgians thought all hope was lost when UGA lost Todd Gurley to a torn ACL. They thought wrong.

Let’s put it this way. Gurley went down in game five, and Chubb was able to tie Garrison Hearst with 1,547 yards. That’s good for UGA’s all-time silver medal single season rushing record. And that’s downright scary.

Chubb is the bowling ball that can help Georgia knock down pins on their roll to the national playoff. Either way, he’ll still rush for 2,000 yards.
