Sony Michel who Richt had starting over Chubb before Michel's injury and Chubb's freshman campaign had a 2015 season of 5.30 ypc and UGA's issues were not due to poor RB play. Likewise if one of our RBs were to be injured my expectation is Vol team 120 does not miss a beat and the next man up fulfills them and meets the team's needs. Team 120 is not a one trick pony.

I hope so. I'm thinking more along the lines of having to use the TE to block and the play calling would be adjusted for sure

You may be right. I probably should've put this in the recruiting forum where people can have real conversations without the children showing up.

I know, jinx this and voodoo that.

So how do we hold up as an offense if we lose Jalen to injury? How many games could it cost us? I hope and pray we don't have a Nick Chubb Event.

What's the effect Volnation?

Hey - I hit LIKE accidentally - so didn't want you to think anyone on Vol Nation actually liked this thread title, subject and or implication.

How about this for a title instead?

What if Hurd Stays Healthy and Kicks Ass All Fall Long!?

While it is not a one trick pony, to think it does not miss a beat if Hurd goes down, is quite silly.

I think we miss his productivity and intangibles, but do I think we lose a first down if Hurd is out? No I do not, I think it's silly to start wringing hands, weeping, wailing, gnashing teeth, and wearing sack cloth if one player goes down on a multi talented and faceted team especially if it is all hypothetical.

He and Kamara are different type backs, neither has a ready replacement behind them. The workload that Kamara would have to take on would be one of the many troubling issues created if Hurd went down. To not understand Hurd's value is an astonishing feat.

We got depth. Next man up.

Similar to Jamal Lewis going down.

Yeah, just like that. Except for the fact that we had 3 future NFL'ers and a first team All American in that backfield. Otherwise its identical to 98'. :good!:

We'll move Ethan Wolf to fullback. I got that from a Ouija board, bank on it.

Well Kamara (easily a #1 back at many schools) is headed the The League as well. The others are unknown but have shown some promise.

I've coached and played on winless teams as well as teams that have gone undefeated and won championships at multiple sports during my time on this planet. To place the season and success of the entire 120 team especially at the collegiate level on one guy's shoulders is a major flaw you have and is an astonishing feat in and of itself.

Try better reading comprehension.

Never said the entire team's success is on one guy's shoulders. But he is a pretty important frigging piece of the puzzle.

Bama does not win it all last year if Henry goes down. To help you, that is not claiming they go 0-12.
