Todd Gurley Listed as Starting Tailback For Auburn Game
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) – Todd Gurley is listed as the starting tailback for No. 16 Georgia when it plays No. 9 Auburn this week.
The junior is returning from a four-game NCAA suspension for taking $3,000 for autographed memorabilia and other items over two years. He was a leading Heisman Trophy candidate before the ban.
Freshman Nick Chubb filled in with four strong starts for the Bulldogs as Gurley’s replacement. Chubb ranks third in the Southeastern Conference in rushing, leading to speculation he might keep the starting job.
Monday’s depth chart listed Gurley, Chubb and freshman Sony Michel at tailback. On Sunday, coach Mark Richt said no decision had been made on a starting tailback.
