His 131 yards on 20 carries dont even hint at what he did for his team in response to three Dylan Thompson touchdown passes and one more score on a sneak. On one third-and-16 in the second half, Gurley got the ball, hurried out to the left, saw a mass of bodies, then reversed and ran all the way to the other side of the field. He ran what looked like 40 yards to gain 17. He stood up after being tackled and marched back to the huddle for more. And yet when his team had a chance to take the lead late in the game, on a first-and-goal at the South Carolina 4 after a momentum-swinging interception late in the fourth quarter, Georgia did not go to its star with the first play call. Coachs call, Gurley said flatly when asked about that decision.
