With Nick Chubb and Sony Michel gone, D'Andre Swift set to lead Georgia's backfield committee | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

For four years, Georgia could count on Nick Chubb and Sony Michel to make some spectacular plays toting the football.

Now that their time in college has come to an end, the Bulldogs will look to a different crew of running backs to keep the chains moving in the ground game. Based on the production seen in 2017, rising sophomore D'Andre Swift appears ready to assume the lead role in what is still a loaded backfield at Georgia.

As a true freshman, Swift ran for 618 yards and three touchdowns. His highlight run of the season came in a 28-7 win over Auburn in the SEC Championship, which saw left tackle Isaiah Wynn and left guard Kendall Baker open a wide hole for Swift to burst through.
