Nick Chubb has rushed for over 100 yards in 11 straight games. Those are the only 11 games Nick Chubb has been the starting running back for the Georgia Bulldogs. Even if HC Mark Richt opts to pull Nick out of the game in the second half to spare him from unneeded injury, I still like Chubb’s chances to rush for the century mark again on Saturday.

The last time UGA played an FCS opponent, Nick Chubb rushed for 83 yards on a single play. He finished the game with 113 yards on the ground for 2 touchdowns on only 9 carries in that game.
When you average 8.4 yards per carry like Nick Chubb is doing in 2015, you only need 12 carries to break the century mark in theory. Look for Chubb to have a crazy ridiculously long run in this home game.
My prediction for Nick Chubb’s stats on Saturday are 12 carries for 125 yards, 2 touchdowns and a long of 50 yards. If Nick Chubb can take it to the house from midfield, then I’m one lucky Dawg for calling that. You read about it here at ATL All Day first.
