Troy Coach Compares Todd Gurley to Herschel Walker
Georgia running back Todd Gurley has been mentioned as a Heisman Trophy candidate.
He’ll look for another big day Saturday against Troy.
Trojans coach Larry Blakeney says Gurley runs like former Dawgs Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker.
Both Gurley and Walker are big, physical backs.
Said Blakeney,"Herschel was more so in and out because he was so fast. This guy, he looks back-side. He goes that way. Usually those big linemen furnish him a place to run. He’s a great player in my opinion. What’s his classification? Is he a junior? He’ll be gone after this year." (laughter)
