So either you have a crystal ball or it is yet to be seen, agreed?
Marshall may, I repeat may, be an outside running threat to SCAR but Gurley is not unless it is an occasional well executed power pitch sweep maybe and that wouldn't work for long.
There will only be one, maybe two, RBs in the field that day with the speed to run outside on any good SEC defense and that is David Williams and maybe Shon Carson but I doubt even Shon would be able to do it against UGA's LBs.
The game will be won and lost between the tackles.

Dont forget Chubb and Michel. They'll be dressed out.

Gurley has been getting outside against top level defenses. Didn't he break some long runs outside against LSU and SCar last season? His first touch in 2013 against Clemson went 80. I think he got long runs on Florida, but I don't remember if they were on the edge or not.

The mizzou fan gets it.
Can you run the football when the opponent knows you want to run the football?
It is about efficiency on the ground in those money situations. And it is the difference between a good team and elite team.
The best stat that i have found for this is rushing TDs.
The best at running the rock into the endzone are the best teams at the end of the season (i.e. win the big games).
UGA is a great example of when running the rock for yards on 1st and 2nd down are meaningless (crowell was a beast on downs 1 and 2 when the defenses were respecting the pass option... but in running situations, Crowell was very underwhelming.)
2011 was another example of a bad rushing UGA team that lost every major game on the schedule (10-4). It is the fine line between good and great.

You're seriously underestimating Gurley's speed. He doesn't really look like he is moving that fast, but he is booking, he is a good bit faster than all but a couple of players on your defense.
Marshall is even faster. If they get into the secondary, neither will have any trouble erasing whatever angles your green DBs take.
You think UGA can't run a toss sweep? How long have you been watching football?

We have 3 RBs on the roster faster than either of them. Thanks.

Agreed, as most games are. Too bad for you guys.
