Georgia Fans Say "Keep giving it to Hurd"

They'd be outta his damn way if we played towards Hurd's natural strengths as an open field runner instead of the OLs shortcomings at the inside running game.

 

no, but he isn't otherworldly. Backs are nearly interchangeable now. I don't think he's any better than the horses at AL.

 

He's a big kid with some serious wheels. He was the same great player last season but for some reason he's finally getting his just dues after flattening Clemson. Saying that, I think that everything UGA did on offense in the 2nd half of Clemson is more reflective of the Tigers refusal to give the slightest effort on defense. .

 

Yeldon, Henry Tenpenny all beasts

 

That's nothing but rhetoric. Plenty of blame to be assigned to the OL and the OC, but Hurd's vision and skills haven't impressed like so many are clamoring -- this all coming against two of the worst defenses we'll face this year.

This isn't a condemnation of his season or career. However, it isn't like he's done anything Lane's not perfectly capable of doing thus far.

 

If what you're saying is that Todd Gurley and Derrick Henry are the two best backs in the country, I agree.

If what you're saying is that Todd Gurley won't be the first RB taken in the 2015 draft, wanna bet?

 

It's scapegoating of one guy to apologize for another.

Not that Hurd sucks, but I don't think he's great, and with RBs you can tell this quickly. And if he was great, we would have seen it...even in this system and with this OL. And this is the truest thing I've written all day.*


*Though it is only four and a half hours in.

 

Where the hell is this post hoc narrative coming from? It's not actually true. Todd Gurley wasn't under the radar before the Clemson game. Not even a little.

KidB's list of guys who Tennessee has played against that caused me to become slightly frightened every time they touched the ball:
1. Percy Harvin
2. Todd Gurley
3. others

If I wasn't a Tennessee fan, and was instead rooting for a team Tennessee played, I'm sure Cordarrelle Patterson would be on the list. That guy was electric.

 

I like Yeldon better. AL has Yeldon and Henry. I'd trade UGAs stable for ALs.

 

Then you weren't around for Herschel, Bo, Hilliard, emmitt, Fred Taylor...take too long. Trent Richardson was much scarier to me and it isn't close.

 

Fred Taylor just never went down.

 

I still have nightmares about backup QBs....any backup QBs.


Eff you Matt Mauck.

 

Yeldon isn't half the player Gurley is.

 

Henry can't compare to either.

That's absurd, but whatever scares ya, scares ya.

 

Yeah, he can.

 

True story

 

I have UGA as 1a, Bama as 1b. Gurley is the best back in the league, and the Chubb kid is really really good. He's got a lot of Travis Henry in him.

 

Harvin is my clear #1. I think my heart skipped a beat every time that guy touched the ball. It was as if he had just been shot out of a cannon.

 

Humorously, I bet DJ Hall did more damage against UT than Harvin did.
