Last week’s rushing touchdown reminded us once again that Keith Marshall can put points on the board for the Georgia Bulldogs. After two injury-riddled seasons, Marshall is looking like a great change of pace back in the UGA backfield.

With Nick Chubb likely playing sparingly, if at all, in the second half, expect Keith Marshall to pick up where Chubb left off and run the football convincingly for the Georgia Bulldogs.
What I’m interested to see in Marshall on Saturday is if he can make big plays for UGA in both halves. I think he gets in the end zone twice, once in a goal line scenario in the first half. The next one will come on a 40+ yard scamper to all but put the game out of reach for the Jaguars.
With each game that Marshall stays healthy, he is building more confidence and will thus play better for the Dawgs as a strong rotational back. Keith Marshall gets 12 carries for 80 yards and 2 touchdowns in this one.
