It won't be easy, but remember we thought the same about Gurley.
Probably correct but lets remember Chubb and especially Gurley are generational runners and its a little easier said than done to cut and paste with these guys.
I remember the Barners are here all thinking JJ was just gonna step right in after Cam amd Nick Marshal (Yes,I know it's a different situation and posistion)
Gurley was/is a complete game changer,while Chubb can carry a team on his back.Hopefully the offensive roster will be filled in enough so we don't have to have that much dependence on RB position in '17.

-Musa was the first 1000 yard rusher we'd had in a decade and we didn't know what we'd do when he left.
-Then the trio of lumpkin/brown/ware balled out and more than made up for losing musa.
-We didn't know how we'd get over losing lumpkin and brown but then we got knowshon, who was our best back since hearst
-we took 2 years off but then had crowell who was very good for a TFr and if he had seen the field more would have easily broken 1000
-He got kicked off after 1 year in summer before the season and we had no idea what we'd do with no proven backs on the roster. Then we were introduced to gurley and marshall.
-In 14 Marshall got hurt early and we didn't know what we'd do with only gurley carrying the load. Then we met chubb.
-When chubb was a no go it was worrisome, but then we turned to sony
I agree that Gurley and chubb are 2 of the better backs we've had in ages and they don't come along every year. But my main point is that until given a reason, I'm not really worried about RBs at UGA for a while. Holyfield will get his reps this year and be the man heading into '17. Also in '17 we add T.Carter and likely Swift who are both terrific. Then heck, the year after that we could get Zamir White who will almost surely be a 5*.
