Gurley is almost universally considered the best running back in the country. He’s 6’1”, 220 pounds and he’s averaging – are you ready?- 8.2 yards a carry in college football’s best conference, the SEC.
Apparently Todd was studying too hard last year to notice that Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M got in a lot of trouble with the NCAA for creating the suspicion that he was getting money for his autograph.
Manziel’s “suspension” was for only half a game because the NCAA couldn’t prove that he ever received direct payment for signings.
Georgia has suspended Gurley indefinitely until the investigation into his alleged violation is completed.
So, here we have a 20 year-old football player who’s averaging more than eight yards a carry and may not be able to carry the ball again this season because of a stupid violation of an even more stupid rule.
Seems like a perfect time to turn pro.
