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

The fact of the matter is that he missed 3 games, missed an entire half against LSU and didn't get nearly as many carries against Clemson that he would have minus the injury (look at the Gurley/Marshall splits for that game compared to UF '11 and Bama '11).
After a thigh injury against Clemson and a high ankle sprain against LSU, he literally stayed banged up the rest of the year. He wasn't even 100% in the bowl game.
He still had a very productive year when looking at his total yards and total TDs.
