Chubb+Michel>Anyone?

San Diego State’s Rashard Penny led the nation in rushing this year, besting Heisman runner-up Bryce Love by 54 yards. But alternating playing time playing the same position, Georgia’s top two tailbacks Nick Chubb and Sony Michel outrushed Penny by one hundred yards.

While two option teams (Navy and Georgia Tech) may have had duos with more rushing yards, these duos played different positions. Georgia’s Chubb and Michel were never in the game at the same time. Add third stringer D-Andre Swift and the UGA tailback position rushed for 2720 yards.

Some of the top 1018 rushing leaders:
