Todd Gurley is in limbo as he waits to hear if he’ll be eligible to return to the Georgia Bulldogs amid accusations he was compensated for signing autographs, a violation of NCAA rules, but his accuser won’t be returning to his job after he was fired

The Georgia Bulldogs hope to get Todd Gurley back from an indefinite suspension for reportedly accepting $400 to sign autographs before the end of the season, but Bryan Allen, the man who accused him of accepting money and ratted him, out won’t be returning to his job after he was fired from his insurance job last week.

Georgia applied for reinstatement earlier this week in hopes the talented running back and All-American candidate and former Heisman front-runner could return immediately after missing the last two games, both Georgia wins, and keep the Bulldogs in position to win the SEC east.

With Gurley out of the lineup true freshman Nick Chubb has filled the big shoes of the potential first round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft with Gurley-like numbers in the team’s wins against Missouri and Arkansas.

In the win against Missouri, Chubb ran 38 times for 143 yards and a touchdown while adding four receptions for 31 yards. In the win against Arkansas Chubb ran 30 times for a career-high 202 yards and two touchdowns.

Gurley has 778 yards and eight touchdowns on 94 carries in five games this year.

Georgia is idle this week as they get an extra week to prepare for rival Florida in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Part on Nov. 1.

Will Gurley be eligible to play for that game? They may not even need him with the way Chubb is running and the miserable offense from the Gators, but it is nice to see this snitch fired form his job for propositioning Gurley and then turning him in.

Yes, the rule is stupid and Gurley broke it, but it’s people like Bryan Allen who are the real culprits while Gurley is caught up in the mess.
