During his two seasons at Georgia, running backs coach Dell McGee has led one of the most productive running back groups in the nation. McGee’s backs have been a big part in Georgia reaching the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, and if the Bulldogs win, it will likely come thanks to the team’s run game.
One of the key matchups in Georgia’s showdown with Alabama in Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the Bulldogs’ ground game facing off with Alabama’s defense. Georgia has been one of the top rushing teams in the nation with 267 yards per game; the Alabama defense, meanwhile, leads the nation by allowing just under 92 yards on the ground per contest.
