Georgia football: Top performers from the Bulldogs win over Mississippi State

Nick Chubb, Sony Michel and D’Andre Swift

Once again, Georgia’s stable of running backs had another solid game. Georgia maintained drives and kept pressure off Fromm. Chubb led the way with 81 yards on 15 carries with two touchdowns. Swift rushed for 69 yards on 10 carries. Even Michel on a bad ankle picked up 32 yards on seven carries.

Fans and media doubted Georgia’s ability to run the ball in the preseason. Last years offensive line issues were a big reason for that. But so far, Georgia has been able to impose their wills upfront and that’s led to good games for Chubb, Michel and Swift.

Saturday was no different. The trio busted off several big gains. Chubb’s longest was a 28-yard touchdown on a direct snap. On his first touchdown, it looked like he was falling down before he regained his balance and trotted into the end zone. Swift’s longest run was a 20 yards gain. Michel had a long run of his own but it was called back because of a questionable holding call.
