It's worse in Augusta, believe me.
Well, you know that's what's going to happen. The media in this state are consumed with anything and everything that happens in Athens.....except, of course, for things that put them in a bad light.
I love Georgia Tech, but let's not compare Nick Chubb to anyone in white and gold. Skov and Marshall are good. Justin is outstanding, but Chubb is a bona fide superstar. Our corralling of him in the second half last year was as great an accomplishment as that 53 yard field goal.
I'm gonna agree with you on that. Gurley was a much more special talent than Chubb seems to be. Chubb is more of a FB with more quick twitch muscles.
Chubb is really good, no doubt about that. We don't really need to downplay him. He had a cut on one run where he ran up the middle and stopped on a dime to avoid a tackle before cutting out left...ridiculous change of direction for a guy his size. However, I think we just might have a pretty solid D this year. DJ White and Chris Milton are both very good corners, and physical at the point of attack. Our DTs are possibly the most athletic pair in the nation. KeShun and PJ are both very disruptive in the backfield. We have the pieces on D to contain him (at least a bit), and we have the O to put pressure on them to keep up. If we get a lead, they won't be able to just handoff to Chubb all day.
Love that place.
Not quite the same, but one could almost feel sorry for Vanderbilt. Even in years they have been a decent team, and years in which they have beaten Tennessee, their own home town newspaper is all Vols stuff.
