Nick Chubb

It was a rough first half for Chubb. In the opening quarters, he only had 13 yards on six carries. But he compiled 129 yards in the second half with longs of 48, 13 and 27 yards. In the end, Chubb had 143 yards on 17 carries with one touchdown.

It was a great performance by him to end the 2016 season and gives him momentum headed into his senior year. But more importantly, he helped his first year head coach win his first bowl game.
