Gurley only 143 yards away from being a 1k rusher...

Would be only the third running back in the Richt era to accomplish that feat (Musa Smith in '02; Knowshon Moreno in '07 and '08).

I feel like it needs to be said. Knomo was a rsFr. Where TG is a TRUE freshman. Much more impressive IMO.

Musa Smith in 2002 had 1324 I believe, so this will make him the third.

Hershel started the season as the third string back. Vince called him a stiff running back. He missed a game and a half or a quarter as a result of a sprained ankle. We had no real passing attack in those days. A total of 1300 yards in 11 games. So his achievement is even more amazing.

Hope he gets it but he's had a very good first season regardless.

If he keeps this up for 3 years (being realistic) then he will go down as the 2nd best we've bet had and that's a great accomplishment.

He'll be 3rd by Saturday night.
