Nick Chubb

Besides McKenzie, Chubb was the most important player on Saturday. He had 16 carries for 106 yards with a touchdown and one 49-yard touchdown reception.

Chubb was just too tough, strong and fast for Louisiana Lafayette to handle. He powered his way for positive yardage and sprinted through gaps throughout the afternoon. On his 49-yard touchdown catch, he caught a short pass and simply outran everyone else. One player was on his tail, but with each stride Chubb just kept getting farther away until he reached the goal line.

Chubb has had a difficult season in 2016. New offensive system, a bad offensive line and questionable play calling has kept Chubb from looking like his former self. But against the Ragin’ Cajuns, Nick Chubb was able to show that he is still just as great as he’s always been.
