Georgia freshman tailback Isaiah Crowell had 118 rushing yards and 40 receiving yards in last Saturday’s 45-42 loss to South Carolina.ATHENS, Ga. — Isaiah Crowell had nowhere to go but up.
On his first college carry, Georgia’s freshman tailback slipped on the Georgia Dome turf for a 2-yard loss four minutes into the Sept. 3 opener against Boise State. Since that stumble, Crowell has been dazzling, rushing 30 times for 176 yards for an average of 5.9 yards a carry.
The 5-foot-11, 215-pounder had his first 100-yard game against South Carolina last Saturday, when he compiled 118 yards on 16 carries that all went for positive gains.
“He’s a good player,” Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said Sunday after reviewing the video. “He ran through us pretty well.”
So much for needing some time to arrive.
