Todd Gurley's Heisman Trophy campaign didn't exactly take a step forward Saturday in Georgia's 66-0 trouncing of Troy, but the Bulldogs' depth at running back took more Charles Oakley Jersey than a few. Freshman Sony Michel provided a glimpse of what is to come in the Georgia backfield if Gurley, , turns pro at the end of the season.Michel ran for 155 yards and three touchdowns on just 10 carries to lead all rushers and provide Gurley with something of a low-impact week on a schedule that will only get tougher. Gurley was done for the day after just six carries and 73 yards against a completely overmatched Trojans defense. Michel had touchdown runs of 6, 8 and 18 yards, all in the first half.As a team, Georgia averaged 9.4 yards per rush (39 for 367) and led an unsurmountable 45-0 at the half.Despite the presence of Gurley and a quality backup in Keith Marshall, Georgia coach Mark Richt was able to sway Michel to sign with the Bulldogs in February as a five-star recruit. With 25 touches (20 carries, five receptions) already this season, he's played like it thus far.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter * Latrell Sprewell Jersey |
