ATHENS, Ga. (AP) – One teammate remembers the scrimmage where Isaiah Crowell leaped over a defender near the sideline, somehow managed to stay inbounds, then burst ahead for a few extra yards.
Another talks of a goal-line drill, when Crowell seemed to be stopped short of the end zone, only to break not one but two tackles before diving in.
Now, it’s time to see what the heralded freshman can do against an actual opponent.
Crowell might start his first college game for 19th-ranked Georgia. He’ll surely get plenty of carries Saturday night in a crucial opener against No. 5 Boise State. And, say this, he’s certainly not lacking for confidence.
As he put it: “I don’t think it’s going to be that tough a transition for me. I believe I can play with some of the best.”
