re: Does UGA have the best RB tandem in the conference in Chubb and Michel?

It's hysterical to watch UGA fans cling to Chubb being the better than LF

It's equally as hysterical to watch LSU fans act like Fournette is clearly the better back because he had one great game. Don't get me wrong, he looked incredible, and might be the better back, but it's so ridiculous to say that one is clearly better than the other. It's even more ridiculous to say that LSU clearly has a better tandem of RBs than UGA does.

If Fournette proves he's the better back at the end of the season, congrats to him. But remember, three weeks through last season Kenny Hill was a Heisman contender. Not saying that Fournette will be like him, because I believe LF will easily be a top 10 pick, but they've played a combined 5 games this year, with none of the same competition. Chubb is on a record setting pace, and Fournette's probably been the most impressive player in all of college football. You can argue Chubb's better (clearly based on last year), and you can argue Fournette's better (been more impressive this season IMO). They're both great, and it's more enjoyable to enjoy how good they both are. Instead we're getting in a dick measuring contest, but we both have massive dicks in this scenario. It's just dumb.

Fournette has not had "One good game". This is the fourth one in a row where he's topped his alltime best game. And they shut him down with a lot of game left to play or it would have been even worse.

Don't get me wrong, Chubb is freaking amazing. But Fournette is going to end up on the SEC Mt Rushmore as one of the alltime greats and Georgia fans will probably still be crying about how Chubb got snubbed.

I never thought I'd live to see another back like Herschel Walker, but here we are. Watch him while you can because he's going to be relevant for the rest of our lives and you'll want to say you saw it.

no. just no.

You know what I mean. Obviously Fournette has looked great in his last four games, starting with A&M up until Auburn. I meant that it's more important to look at everything you can. If Chubb's most recent game was his performance against Louisville last year (266 rush yards against the #2 ranked run defense at the time), we would look at it differently. Just because Fournette's most recent game was his best, doesn't mean that it's better than Chubb's best game. That's all I was trying to say by that.

Fournette is the best back

But Georgia is deeper. 2-4 with the respective depth charts, I'd take Georgia over LSU's back ups. However, Fournette is just a monster.

Gurley and McFadden had a lot of Herschel in them as well, and they were both in the past 10 years.

No way you saw Herschel Walker play live. Both those guys were good, but nowhere near Herschel walker

georgia fans are intentionally misunderstanding something about the use of the word potential in regards to fournette. no one is saying that fournette has the potential to be a good/great running back. when people use that word about him, they're saying he has the potential to be a once in a decade kind of player. this is being said by people who cover cfb for a living, not lsu fans. and now that fournette doesn't have seniors in front of him, his numbers are backing up the rep.

i haven't heard anybody say that chubb is a once in a decade kind of player nor that he is the best player in the country at any position.

any unbiased person who has watched fournette play knows this, except for obstinate uga fans apparently. it's not about stats. it's about what's obvious to anyone who is watching.

as for the rest, williams, brossette and guice are as good as anybody's group and probably better than anybody's group. time will tell.

as for the ridiculous uga comment about the past few years, lsu has been as good as anybody at rb. alfred blue, jeremy hill, terrence magee, stevan ridley, kenny hilliard, spencer ware, micheal ford, trindon holliday have all had time in the league recently so don't act like uga is in a class all by itself. lsu is right there with anybody.

Once again this argument comes down to production vs potential

uga fans seem to be implying that fournette hasn't had great stats, like the potential is there but the production isn't. the numbers are already there and if he keeps it up, he could be in rarefied air.

again, uga fans are ignoring what pretty much everyone is saying about the 2 backs. they're being talked about in 2 different categories.

in '87, barry sanders only had 622 yards for a 5.6ypc average. he only had 1 more year at okie light but, no one leaves him out of the conversation about the goat. stats aren't everything chubbies.

I'd say as of now, yes.missing a game hurt our stats but People underestimate LF's backup, D guice. He needs a year of experience against college defenses and I think next year we hold that title. As of now hard to argue against UGA having the best tandem.

Think you are talking about confirmation bias + the auburn bias.
