1. Georgia has elite running backs

It was gonna be tough to replace to NFL-caliber running backs like Nick Chubb and Sony Michel after last season. However, Georgia has found their replacements with two NFL-caliber backs in D’Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield. Both backs surpassed the 100-yard mark against the Wildcats with Swift doing it in style with an 83-yard touchdown run to break the game wide open for Georgia.

Swift has proven to be the Bulldogs home run hitter at running back, as he averaged nearly 10 yards a carry against Kentucky. Holyfield, the son of former heavyweight champion Evander, is more of a bruising back and tackling him probably feels like taking a shot from his old man. It was also impressive considering how banged up Georgia’s offensive line, even with losing two linemen during the game.

The Georgia rushing attack is a major threat once again and compliments Jake Fromm very well.
