We have come to the end of UGASports’ DAWG of the DECADE Tournament, whereby only two Dawgs remain to determine the best (according to you) Georgia player from 2010 to 2019. Both Bulldogs are running backs, and, for one season, were actually teammates. Both players are among Georgia's all-time leaders in nearly every rushing category.

Still, in the end, only one of these players will be known as the program's best during the last decade. And, it is up to you to determine who that is. You decide at the Dawgvent.

Notably, the tournament's top eight players in order will be revealed next week.

TODD GURLEY – Running Back (2012-2014)

Gurley defeated his first three challenges pretty easily before taking on another running back in Sony Michel. After defeating Michel with 63 percent of the vote, Gurley faced his toughest challenge yet in Roquan Smith. Still, he edged out the legendary linebacker with 56 percent of the vote. Gurley must surpass one more if he wants to be Georgia's best of the decade. Can he defeat another former teammate? It is up to you to decide.

NICK CHUBB – Running Back (2014-2017)

Chubb has taken care of a wide receiver, linebacker, quarterback, and a pair of offensive linemen thus far in the tournament. But, in the championship matchup, he must face a fellow running back. And, this is not just a running back, but a former teammate, as well. Does Chubb have what it takes to win again?
