Richt Not Ruling Out Nick Chubb Against Troy
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) – It would seem Georgia’s depth at tailback took a hit when freshman Nick Chubb had surgery on Monday to repair his fractured left thumb.
Coach Mark Richt, however, isn’t crossing Chubb off his list of running backs for No. 13 Georgia’s game against Troy on Saturday.
Richt said Tuesday Chubb may play against Troy "if he wakes up Saturday and feels good."
Chubb and another freshman, Sony Michel, have helped provide enviable depth at tailback. Chubb is the Bulldogs’ second-leading rusher behind Todd Gurley.
There will be even more depth when Keith Marshall has fully recovered from the right knee surgery which ended his 2013 season. Richt says he expects "some nice runs" this week from Marshall, who has only 10 yards rushing through two games.
