Although the Georgia Bulldogs are coming off of two of their most impressive wins of the season, they continue to play without star running back Todd Gurley.

That, however, may not last much long. Toddy Gurley wants to be reinstated and Georgia is working with his legal team to make that happen.

Todd Gurley confirmed his desire to seek reinstatement via GeorgiaDogs.com.

“I want to thank the University, coaches, teammates, and the Bulldog Nation for their patience and support,” Gurley said.  “I take full responsibility for the mistakes I made, and I can’t thank the University, my coaches, and teammates enough for supporting me throughout this process.  I’m looking forward to getting back on the field with my teammates.”

Gurley’s attorney, William King, said, “Todd has taken responsibility for his actions and is ready to rejoin his teammates.  The University has been great throughout the past two weeks and has done everything it can to support Todd.  I would especially like to thank President Morehead, Greg McGarity, and Coach Richt for standing by Todd.”

If Georgia is asking for reinstatement, they probably assume it is going to be approved. If he is indeed approved, that is obviously great news for college football fans everywhere. Todd Gurley is one of the country’s best players. It won’t just be fun for fans to see him back in action but it will give Georgia a huge boost as they head into the stretch run and could be the key to an upset in a potential SEC Championship Game with the SEC West champ in December.

Todd Gurley has rushed for 773 yards and eight touchdowns on 94 carries.

Georgia will enjoy a bye this week before taking on the Florida Gators in their annual showdown in Jacksonville on Nov. 1.
