The Morning Memory: Hello, Nick Chubb

Happy Saturday morning ‘Dawg fans. I don’t know how you plan to spend your weekend. I hope you make smart decisions. But whatever decisions you make, it’s unlikely that they’ll be better than the decision to give the ball to freshman Nick Chubb on a toss sweep against a Clemson defense that’s already been tenderized by a heavy dose of Todd Gurley:

That was Nick Chubb’s first college touchdown, during the game in which the Georgia Bulldog offense pounded Dabo Swinney’s Clemson defense to the point that they just didn’t want to play football anymore. The Ground Hound from Cedartown would score 44 rushing touchdowns over the course of his career in the Classic City. And in retrospect that outcome seems like a foregone conclusion after watching that first one. Freshmen aren’t supposed to do that against elite competition.

In that 2014 season opener Todd Gurley set a UGA single game record for total yards with 293. 100 of those came on a kickoff return to which I am certain we will return ere the summer, and this series with it, ends.
