Georgia football super freshman lift Dawgs’ rushing

Sharing the wealth

The Dawgs runners don’t mind sharing the wealth. “I think it will pay off in the long run, when we’re still fresh at the end of the season,” said Holyfield, who is coming off his first start of the season and leads the backs with a 7.1 yards, per-carry average. “I always feel really good the whole game. There has not been a point in any game where I’ve felt dog-tired.”

Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason says it’s not calculus. “When you stay ahead of the chains, you stay on the field. When you stay on the field, there are enough balls for everybody. That is the simple formula right there.”

With the Bulldogs ailing on both the offensive line and at tailback, Kirby Smart devised diabolical plan to boost the offense: play the most talented player on the team, Justin Fields.

Genius.

Georgia  defensive lineman Michael Barnett brings this perspective from the opposite side of the ball. “You never know when you could have a gunslinger back there or a mobile guy. Both of them run and throw really well, and that trait puts our team in a good situation.”

Holyfield is down with the situation, too. “They both show what they’re really good at, and that helps us because it’s different,”

While Fields rushed for 45 rushing yards on five attempts and two 15 yard touchdowns against Tennessee, Georgia football fans wore themselves to a frazzle tying to figure out the plan for Fields and Fromm.
