The Chubb injury is going to make the Fournette talk about the NFL really pick up this week.

That injury was ugly. They didn't show the replay. It was that ugly.

yeah it was. What is it with top tier SEC RB's and devastating injuries? This is like 3 in the last 3-4 years- Lattimore, Gurley, and now Chubb.

The only way to stop a really dominant runner is to pin his legs together, which means a lot of folks are going to be going for his legs, instead of higher up, where the odds of tackling him are greatly reduced.

It's simple logic.

I happened to catch it (semi-)live on WatchESPN on AppleTV, waiting for NDSU second half to start. They showed it and replayed it there.

As soon as I saw his knee buckle backwards like that, I knew he was done for the year. That's really too bad!

Georgia has a lot of injuries at Tennessee. They lost 4 players there two years ago to knee injuries. I wonder if their turf needs to be replaced.

I think the SEC refs tend to let more stuff go than other conferences. It was a late hit on Chubb. Not flagrant, but he was already out of bounds and there was no flag.
