Georgia Bulldogs UGA logoATHENS, Ga. – Georgia freshman tailback Todd Gurley collected his sixth collegiate 100-yard rushing game in Saturday’s 37-10 thumping of Ole Miss.
Gurley rushed 18 times for 117 yards, reaching triple digits on a 31-yard run in the fourth quarter. That set up the final touchdown for the Bulldogs, which was a 23-yard pass from Aaron Murray to Rantavious Wooten.
“I didn’t even know I had 100 yards,” Gurley said. “Even when I had that long one, it was tough. We kept pounding and pounding, and I was just happy to see my teammates scoring and having a good time.”
The 6-foot-1, 218-pounder has 857 yards this season and is closing in on becoming Georgia’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Knowshon Moreno had 1,400 as a redshirt sophomore in 2008. Gurley already has surpassed last year’s rushing total by Isaiah Crowell, who totaled 850 yards in his lone season with the Bulldogs.
