-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*.

Would never put Chubb or Gurley in the same sentence with any of those previous RB's but as I said earlier lets hope our talent on offense has enough of the holes filled to make up for Chubbs loss.

At the very minimum we should know what we got headed into '17 with Holyfield,
