Gurley no sure thing

Todd Gurley (pictured) was a leading Heisman Trophy contender before his four-game suspension. Now that he’s returning for No. 16 Georgia against No. 9 Auburn this week, it’s no lock he’ll even be a starter. Gurley’s replacement, Nick Chubb, has made a strong case to keep the job. Chubb ran for 170 yards and a touchdown Saturday in a 63-31 victory over Kentucky. He had 143 or more yards in each of his four games as Gurley’s replacement. Coach Mark Richt’s task of determining playing time for the tailbacks became more difficult when Sony Michel returned from a shoulder injury with 84 yards rushing against Kentucky. Richt said Sunday he and his assistants have not picked a starting tailback against Auburn.
