chimesAU 89 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Voted for CAP. Felt kind of like when your wife asks you if she's prettier than Kate Upton and you, without hesitation, say, " Of course you are, sweetheart". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt kind of like when your wife asks you if she's prettier than Kate Upton and you, without hesitation, say, " Of course you are, sweetheart". Indeed, and I voted for CAP as well. I may objectively think Gurley is one of the best players at RB in college football thus far, but that doesn't mean that I need to do anything to help him or UGA.

dire_tiger 0 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I seriously question having Hilliard in there. He had one good game against a wisconsin team that lost two defensive linemen. If I'm being objective I say Gurley, CAP, then maybe a healthy Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripe 5 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Voted for Cap. The problem with UGA and Gurley is the he is their whole offense. So when he gets hurt in a few weeks the UGA team is done. I for one can't wait for it to happen tired of UGA fans thinking that they have wine the last 40 nc's when they can't even win the east outright lately.

wakeriderof87 31 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Can you guys imagine what Gurley would accomplish in our offense. I think Cap will have the better year, but Gurley is a freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Voted for CAP but Yeldon is very, very good IMO. Gurley had one great game following a year of constant media hype anticipating greatness. Truth be told and when all's said & done, the best SEC RB may be Roc or Barber. Or that frosh guy at LSU who was the #1 high school prospect, played a mediocre game last Saturday, but was truly a man among boys in high school. Slightly different topic: think of Nick & Jeremy as Bo & Fullwood. Kind of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronCrazy 1,072 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I love CAP and I'm very proud of his performance in Game 1. But the best player in the SEC and maybe the country is Todd Gurley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurley had one great game following a year of constant media hype anticipating greatness. Truth be told and when all's said & done, the best SEC RB may be Roc or Barber. Or that frosh guy at LSU To each his own. The numbers part of my basis (to go with what I've watched):Gurley: 2012 -13: about 390 attempts & 6.0 avg. per carry. In first 2014 game, under 200 yds but 13.2 yds per carry, kickoff return for TD. Yeldon: 2013 -13: also about 390 atts. & 6.0 avg. First game of 2014 5.5 yds per carry avg. CAP: 2013: 110 atts., about 6.7 yds per carry avg. First game of 2014 6.7 yds per carry. Henry & Hilliard are odd candidates IMO, Henry has about 500 yds on 36 atts (albet for a gaudy 10 yds per carry avg) and from 2011 - 2013 Hilliard has only about 200 atts. for about 5 yds per carry avg. My beef is with the perception that Gurley's the second coming of Hershel Walker (doesn't UGA have one every 5 years or so?). As you can see he's very good even by SEC standards but this Gurley love is on the heals of punking...Clemson. Where for example is Mike Davis who's career stats are deserving of this poll except he and his team just got wasted by A & M so they're not the flavor of the week. I'd say Davis O line is the worst over his college career of any RBs in this poll. The O line argument (factor) is a long one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,829 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is UGA going to lose one of their backs to transfer? I see Keith Marshall only had 6 carries vs Clemson. He is a beast in his own right, kid has some serious wheels. Wasn't he a more featured part of their offense the past few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see he's very good even by SEC standards but this Gurley love is on the heals of punking...Clemson. As you said in your previous post, the Gurley love started well before Saturday. His performance only confirmed what most already believed. But it's interesting that you decry the Gurley love for being based on one game while offering that 2 hyped true freshmen- one who hasn't played a down and one who already played a crap game- might be better than him. Is UGA going to lose one of their backs to transfer? I see Keith Marshall only had 6 carries vs Clemson. He is a beast in his own right, kid has some serious wheels. Wasn't he a more featured part of their offense the past few years? This might explain the Marshall situation: Keith Marshall, who rushed for 759 yards in 2012 and 246 last year before suffering a season-ending knee injury on Oct. 5, returned to action Saturday. He had six carries for eight yards and didn’t play after Georgia’s next-to-last possession of the third quarter.Richt said Marshall’s knee was checked out afterward. “He’s fine,” Richt said. “Coming off an injury like that, if there’s any little thing that gets tweaked, sometimes you wonder if something is going on in there. And we had a couple of tests to reassure that he’s fine. And so he’s good and we’re good in that regard.” http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/richt-tailback-group-probably-his-best-marshalls-k/nhC7j/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
