Not a bad day to be a Georgia fan.

With the news that Nick Chubb and Sony Michel have decided to play their senior seasons in Athens, the SEC East will get one more go-round against a pair of backs that have each enjoyed 1,000-yard seasons.

For Chubb, he clearly has unfinished business to attend to with the Bulldogs, and their record book. Here’s a look at five marks Chubb has a chance of claiming before the curtains close on his career.

1. Chubb in the 4,500 club?

Entering the team’s Liberty Bowl matchup with TCU, Chubb has 3,282 career yards, still far off from Herschel Walker’s all-time SEC mark of 5,259. Even while Derrick Henry busted through the once-impenetrable 2,000-yard rushing wall on the way to a Heisman Trophy in 2015, it’s still a tall task for Chubb to duplicate that kind of production and catch Walker.

However, he has a very decent shot of becoming just the third player in this hallowed conference of outstanding rushers to reach the 4,500-yard plateau.

Most career rushing yards in SEC history

SPAN PLAYER, SCHOOL RUSHING YARDS
1980-82 Herschel Walker, UGA 5,259
2005-07 Darren McFadden, ARK 4,590
1995-98 Kevin Faulk, LSU 4,557

2. Claiming seniority

Walker never played as a senior, but Chubb still has a pretty steep mountain to climb if he wants to have the best senior season in UGA history. The school has only had two 1,000-yarders, one in the late ’70s and one in the late ’80s.

Most rushing yards by Georgia senior

SEASON PLAYER RUSHING YARDS
1978 Willie McClendon 1,312
1987 Lars Tate 1,016
1997 Robert Edwards 908
1942 Frank Sinkwich 795

3. Gunning for Gurley

Chubb held the school record with an average of 7.38 entering this season before losing a hold of it. However, it’s still well within reach with a solid campaign from the Cedartown, Ga., product in 2016.

Most career rushing yards per carry in Georgia history

SEASONS PLAYER YDS PER RUSH
2012-14 Todd Gurley 6.44
1942, 45-46 Charley Trippi 6.42
1972-75 Glynn Harrison 6.37
2014-pres Nick Chubb 6.34

4. Single-game greatness

Walker has a sky-high total of 283 rushing yards vs. Vanderbilt in 1980, but Chubb came just 18 yards shy of that when he flattened Louisville for 266 in the 2014 Belk Bowl.

Chubb actually holds two of the top nine single-game rushing efforts in Bulldogs history, with that game against the Cardinals sitting at second and his 222-yard romp of North Carolina in this year’s season opener at ninth.

The SEC record is 321, which is shared by the Commodores’ Frank Mordica (1978 vs. Air Force) and the Razorbacks’ Darren McFadden (2007 vs. South Carolina).

5. Revisiting 1,500

If Chubb can recapture the production he had as a freshman in 2014, when he went for 1,547 rushing yards, he’d join Walker and McFadden as the only SEC players to hit 1,500-plus yards multiple times.

Walker (1981-82) and McFadden (2006-07) both did it in back-to-back seasons.

BONUS FOR THE DAWGS’ DYNAMIC DUO

With Chubb and Michel deciding to return for their senior seasons, the two could become the first pair of senior SEC running backs to rush for 1,000 yards.

There have only been eight instances among current SEC schools that have seen a running back tandem go for 1,000 yards. Kentucky’s Boom Williams and Benny Snell joined that list this season, while Auburn’s Kamryn Pettway/Kerryon Johnson and LSU’s Leonard Fournette/Derrius Guice can still add their names.
