Not since Herschel Walker plowed through opposing teams’ defenses has Georgia seen a performance like it did Tuesday night.<br /><br />Despite the loss of its starting quarterback to injury late in the second quarter, No. 13 Georgia literally ran away from No. 20 Louisville for a 37-14 victory in the Belk Bowl at Bank of America Stadium.<br /><br />Bulldogs freshman Nick Chubb carried most of the workload and set a Georgia postseason and Belk Bowl record with 266 yards rushing on 33 carries. He scored two touchdowns.<br /><br />Chubb’s 266 yards were the second-most in Georgia history behind Walker, who ran for 283 yards in 1980 against Vanderbilt.<br /><br />“Nick did a beautiful job, obviously, but he couldn’t do it by himself. He showed everyone in the country once again that he’s a very talented young man,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said.<br /><br />“He kind of minds his own business and goes about his business in a very positive way.”<br /><br />Chubb, a 5-foot-11, 228-pound tailback from Cedartown, Ga., was named winner of the game’s Jerry Richardson Most Valuable Player award. His 82-yard gain in the third quarter also set a Belk Bowl record for longest rushing play.<br /><br />“I’ve done a lot in high school but this is a whole different level,” he said. “This is great momentum for this team and for everyone coming back next year. It’s been a great season.”<br /><br />With the win by Georgia (10-3), the SEC is 4-1 in bowls so far this season.
