Michel earned offensive MVP honors for his performance against TCU. On 15 carries he had 18 yards with a touchdown and he also caught two passes for 39 yards with another touchdown.

Michel scored both of Georgia’s first half touchdowns. The first was a 4-yard run in the first quarter after a 77-yard catch by Isaiah McKenzie. The other was a 33-yard pass from Eason where he bowled over defenders at the goal line to cut TCU’s lead to 16-14.

Michel is also returning for his senior year and like Chubb, this game gives him a lot of momentum headed into 2017. They are already one of the most talented duos in college football. But if they stay healthy and Georgia ‘s offensive line improves, they’ll be the undisputed best tandem in the nation.
