Running Back

Georgia Bulldogs-D’Andre Swift 5’9″, 215 pound, junior, 5 star recruit out of Philadelphia, PA.

31 rushing attempts, 290 yards, 9.4 yards per carry average, two rushing touchdowns, three receptions for 73 yards and one receiving touchdown in three games in 2019.

Notre Dame Irish-Tony Jones Jr. 5’11”, 225 pound, senior, 4 star recruit out of Bradenton, FL

21 rushing attempts for 127 yards and one rushing touchdown.

Advantage-Georgia

The run game presents a major advantage for Georgia. Swift, who was on the preseason watchlist for the Doak Walker Award, given to the best running back in college football, as well as the Maxwell Award, is projected as a first round draft pick in the upcoming 2020 NFL draft. He is an excellent all-purpose back who has the ability to get to the outside and break up the sideline, bust a run up the middle of the line, or catch a pass, all with big play ability. While he lacks elite speed at the running back position, he has excellent field vision and finds the open holes to run through with ease.

Swift will look to exploit an inexperienced Irish linebacking crew in an effort to make plays at the next level of the defense. He provides a major challenge for the Notre Dame defense coming into this game.
