ATHENS – Georgia used to fancy itself as Tailback U. It was a distinction to which Southern Cal often took exception. Both schools certainly produced their share of great tailbacks. The Bulldogs, it could be argued, featured the best of all time in Herschel Walker.

But the tailback-featuring I-formation has gone the way of the Wing T, it seems. So even at Georgia, there are no more tailbacks, per se. But the Bulldogs have continued to produce some pretty special running backs, and they’ve been matriculating to the NFL as if on an assembly line.

Nick Chubb and Sony Michel are the latest additions. Now playing for the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots, respectively, each of them had their breakout games as NFL players this past weekend. Chubb rushed for 105 yards and 2 touchdowns on only three carries in what ended as a 45-42 overtime loss to the Oakland Raiders. Michel was showcased in the Patriots’ 38-7 win over Miami with a 25-carry, 112-yard performance that also included a touchdown.

Meanwhile, Gurley, the third-year All-Pro and 2015 NFL Rookie of the Year, was his regular-ol’ Gurley self. He totaled 156 yards on 83 rushing and 73 receiving and a touchdown in the undefeated Los Angeles Rams’ 38-31 win over Minnesota.

For those keeping count, that was 373 and 4 TDs for the Bulldogs’ backfield trust. That makes Georgia RBU for at least one week.
