How is it exaggerating? If a player rushed 1 time in each quarter and never saw the field apart from those 4 plays...yes in reality he played the whole game. But playing in a grand total of 4 plays in the whole game doesn't really mean they "played the whole game". We have to use a little common sense.

He missed all of UT, Mu, and Vandy. That's 6 halves right there. He got hurt in the 2nd quarter of the LSU game and missed the last half, so already we're at 7 full halves of football missed.

CU- he had 12 total carries, or an average of 3 carries per quarter. Don't you think that if he was fully participating in teh game he would carry more than 3 times per quarter? He bruised his thigh early in the 1st quarter and got spot carries the rest of the way.

UF- after the 1st quarter he went to the lockerroom for stomach problems. Hard to be fully playing if you're in the lockerroom. He did get more carries than against clemson, but he did not play the full game.

App St- was taken out after the 2nd drive of the 3rd quarter. So he missed roughly 25 minutes of clock time.

So you're saying that Gurley never once lined up next to Aaron Murray for pass protection, huh? Gurley also never ran a route except the times he actually caught the ball? You think only the plays in which the player actually touches the ball should count then? And you're the one talking about common sense?

Played in 7 of the 20 offensive snaps in the 2nd. Played in 9 of the 21 offensive snaps in the 3rd. Played in 9 of the 15 offensive snaps in the 4th.

He missed two drives, ffs. He played in the majority of every other offensive drive for UGA. Just because he didn't get the ball on a zone-read or a when he went out for a pass doesn't mean you just wipe that quarter away from his playing time. Facts and shite

It's amazing the revisionist history UGA fans are trying to portray with Gurley.
