ATHENS — For all the great Georgia running backs over the years, the last to be a Heisman Trophy finalist was Garrison Hearst back in 1992.

He ran for 1,547 yards that season, the most ever for a Georgia running back not named Herschel Walker.

He actually topped Walker for the school’s most rushing touchdowns in a season with 19 during that season.
