Before the season began all the buzz in Georgia’s run game centered around the return of Nick Chubb, Sony Michel after a 1,000 yard season, and the “Son of the Real Deal” Elijah Holyfield. But immediately after the season opener against North Carolina, Brian Herrien was the talk of the Bulldog Nation.

Michel and Holyfield were injured for the UNC game leaving the spotlight wide open for Herrien when Chubb needed a breather. he took full advantage of that and since then he has run with it.

Herrien has 50 carries for 347 yards with three touchdowns, good enough for second on the team. With Chubb injured against Tennessee, Herrien took the spotlight again during Michel’s breathers.

And last week against South Carolina, he was 18 yards away from his first 100 yard game. That would have been Georgia’s first ever game with three 100 yards rushers.

But a question about him needs to be asked; If Chubb and Michel are the one-two punch, what does that make Herrien?
