KB take his 83 yard run against the Bammer 3s/4s down and he was a very average SEC back which was why Richt kept him in that blow out to pad his stats. Overall, he had a 20/146 day for the 8.3 ypc. Take down that 83 yard run against the Bammer scrubs when the game was out of reach he was 19/63 for a 3.2 ypc. Comparatively Hurd saw the Bammer 1s/2s all day during 2015 and was 16/60 for 3.7 ypc. Outperforming Chubb against a common opponent who had their best out there the whole time. Look Chubb is a good back, but he ain't what all you push him to be IMO. He may turn out that way but so far he's not that way once you remove the smoke and mirrors Richt and UGA was pushing for him. Michel was listed on the depth chart ahead of him behind Gurley for a reason.
Take away Chubb's longest run vs Bama and he ran for the exact same amount of yards vs them that Hurd did if you subtract his longest run of the day.....Chubb 19 for 63, Hurd 18 for 63. That of course is just one game. And are you sure Bama was playing their 3rd and 4th team scrubs? I honestly don't know, but are you sure? That 83 yarder came at the end of the 3rd quarter. Perhaps they had some second teamers in rather than 3rd and 4th string guys, in which case he ripped it off vs some very talented Alabama defensive players, likely a bunch of 4 stars, maybe even a 5 in there. Just a thought.
What about some of Chubb's other big games in a very short career to date? 143 vs Missouri.....202 vs Arky.....156 vs Florida....170 vs Kentucky, on 13 carries......144 vs Auburn......266 vs Louisville.....189 vs Vandy, on 19 carries......159 vs SCar
Look, we're not always gonna agree, no worries. You don't see in Chubb what I believe I do, no big deal. For the record, I hope like hell you're right about Chubb this year in Athens when the Vols come calling.
Edit- went back and did a little research regarding which Bama defensive players were on the field during Chubb's 83 yard run. Not sure about all 11, but the following starters and very good players were on the field at the time..... Marlon Humphrey, Reggie Ragland, Reuben Foster and Geno Smith.
Edit #2- add D'Shawn Hand and Minkah Fitzpatrick as well.
So, Chubb's 83 yard run in the 3rd quarter was indeed NOT vs Bama's 3rd and 4th team players....it was vs their starters/2 deep players.
