Georgia running back Nick Chubb earned the SEC’s offensive player of the week award following his performance in Saturday’s 42-13 win over Kentucky.
Chubb ran the ball 15 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns against the Wildcats. His final carry of the game, which was his final rush ever at Sanford Stadium, went for a 55-yard touchdown down the left sideline. The run and yardage total were season bests.
For the season, Chubb has totaled 1,045 yards and 12 touchdowns. By going over 1,000 yards this season, Chubb became only the second player in program history to rush for 1,000 yards in three separate seasons, joining Herschel Walker in doing so.
