They keyed in on him his sophomore year before his injury plenty and he was still averaging 8.1 ypc. That was with Lambert, whom everyone here shits on and Schottenheimer. He's not the same. He's lost some of everything. He's still a great back and I think he and Michel need the ball more than they got it Saturday but he's pretty clearly lost a few steps.

I blame Chaney.
#1. The offense has changed from a multiple I look to a more Spread style. Chubb is better from the I. Go back and look at his early highlight reels. You'll see many of his runs out of the I which allows a back to hit harder downhill than the Inside Zone plays where he is reading inside to out looking for a seam to hit. Most backs are coached on the Inside Zone to be running at 85% speed on the mesh. In the I, the back is coming full speed on the hand-off thus exploiting the back's speed getting downhill faster than in the Spread. Nick is not the type of back to flourish in Chaney's offense. Nick's best play out of Chaney's offense in my opinion was the Crack Toss Sweep out of the I-formation against North Carolina last year that he busted for a TD.
#2. Chubb is not getting the ball nearly as much as he used to under Richt and Co. Go back to my first point....he isn't going to flourish under Chaney's offense and I think Chaney honestly sees this, hence the reason why he isn't going get as many carries per game.
I hate Chaney by the way. I miss Bobo like the deserts miss the rain.......

Vs ULM Warhawks, Southern, Vandy, and a 3-9 Gamecock team that Spurrier ended up quitting on. In two of those games, Lambert threw for 90+ percent completion.
Easy to get 8 yards per carry when your quarterback is 24 for 25.
My point is that each season is unique and you can't use ypc as the sole indicator that Chubb "ain't so good as he used to was".
Let the season play out, we can look back later and make a better determination.
He is still the best back in the SEC as far as I can tell. If anyone is better, it is Sony.
Hell, Swift might end up blowing both of them away.
Time will tell.
