Todd Gurley on facing former Georgia teammate Sony Michel: 'I want to beat him'
Every so often, the Super Bowl will pit former teammates and friends against one another with a title on the line.
Just last year, we saw former South Carolina teammates and friends Alshon Jeffery and Stephon Gilmore do battle in the Super Bowl. This year, ex-Georgia RBs Todd Gurley and Sony Michel will square off, each in search of their first rings.
During Super Bowl Media Day on Monday night, Gurley said he has spoken with Michel this season, but added that he wants nothing more than to send Michel home with a Super Bowl loss:
Todd Gurley said he talked to Sony Michel a little bit this season but wants nothing to do with him until the game is over.

Obviously, that’s normal for players on opposite sides. Gurley and Michel seem to be friends, but that friendship is on hold this week.
Who will win? We’ll find out on Sunday, but both figure to play big roles for their teams.
GO DAWGS!!! Sic ’em!
Gurley is pretty pumped for this game.
He didn’t play much in the last one so we’ll have to see how big of a role he actually plays.
Apparently after leaving our alma mater, being from Georgia doesn’t mean anything to our players.
That’s a shame.
Being a Georgia supporter never meant anything to you.
At least you guys have young superstars in the league. We only have Eric Berry and he is old by NFL standards. That tells you how long we’ve been a dumpster of a program. Gooo vols.
Apparently it does to Bill Bellichick these days.
Will there ever be another backfield pair like those two? Watching them run over Oklahoma was cloud 9 material.
Too early, I should have said Michele and Chubb. Gurley made a huge name for himself at UGA too. I would say most UGA fans are pulling for the Rams this weekend. I am.
Still too early! Check your spelling. Michele is the girl you dated in HS. (:
HaHa. Too funny!
Gurley and Marshall
Chubb and Michel
Next up…Swift and Herrien/White
RBU….I believe I hear the horses are getting restless in the stable…is it SEC football season yet?
