Sept. 3 marked not only the first college football Saturday of the season but the return of one of the game’s best players to the field, as Georgia junior running back Nick Chubb made his quick return to the field for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic against Georgia.
So far so good, as Chubb looks to have regained his true form without any hesitation or rust:
Welcome back, Chubb!
