ATHENS, Ga. -- With legendary running back Herschel Walker and 92,745 others in attendance, Georgia had a chance to redeem its 38-35 loss to Clemson to open the 2013 season. It got a Walker-like effort out of junior Todd Gurley, plus a stout defensive performance, as the Bulldogs trounced the Tigers 45-21.
Georgia made the decision to conserve Gurley’s strength on a blazing hot day that reached 92 degrees (with over 80-percent humidity). He had just four offensive touches in the first half, as Mark Richt rationed Gurley’s carries like batteries during a zombie apocalypse. Gurley made the most of his chances, though, encapsulated by a bruising 19-yard run midway through the third quarter in which he broke one tackle, shook another defender off and dragged a third would-be tackler five yards.
