It’s been an up and down career for Keith Marshall. The former five-star recruit shared the backfield with Todd Gurley as freshmen and he looked like he could be a future superstar.
However, injuries have derailed what looked like a once promising future the last two years but Marshall is looking to end his career with the Georgia Bulldogs on a high note with Nick Chubb out for the year.
Marshall only had 36 carries for 195 yards and three touchdowns entering Saturday afternoon’s game against the Kentucky Wildcats, but he may have had his best run of the year, against Mark Stoops’ team when he scored a touchdown and unleashed the stiff arm from hell to get into the end zone.

Pretty awesome, right?
Just remember that this is not a facemask penalty despite the video looking like Marshall is grasping onto or at least using the facemask to try to decapitate the would-be tackler from Kentucky.

In all seriousness, it is great to see Marshall running with authority again. He only had 12 carries for 24 yards last year as he tried to come back from the ACL tear he suffered the year before as a sophomore against the Tennessee Volunteers.
He may never get back to the form he displayed as a freshman when he racked up 749 yards on 6.49 yards per carry and eight touchdowns as a freshman, but with this highlight-reel run, maybe he’s slowly but surely starting to turn the corner to being a player who can catch on with an NFL team next year.
