Georgia must find a way to get back to running the football

Somewhere between Nick Chubb's game-clinching 55-yard touchdown run in Georgia's opening victory over North Carolina and Saturday's must-win matchup with Kentucky, the Bulldogs lost their way on offense.

Inside a packed Georgia Dome with new coach Kirby Smart in that Bulldog red for the first time in years, Georgia ran over an overwhelmed UNC defense. Chubb, less than a year removed from a major knee injury, returned in hellacious fashion with 222 yards and two touchdowns. Freshman quarterback Jacob Eason even debuted with 131 yards, a touchdown and only four incompletions.

The Bulldogs piled up 472 yards, with 289 rushing to garner temporary Eastern Division favorite status.
