Lattimore is a beast, although he will be running into a legitimate top 5 defense this week. He hasn't returned to his dominant pre-injury form, averaging less than 90yds/game and 4.8/carry, while Gurley is averaging 107+ yds/game with 7.9 yd chunks per touch. Gurley is a freshman who is a pro caliber RB and will have a recognizable name like Lattimore in time.
Also check out some of the game tape, I realize USC D is the best Georgia has faced thus far, but the Georgia O line is opening up huge gaps and showing extreme physical domination especially late in games.
Shaw pressured is a mediocre passer who won't be able to balance the offensive attack as much as Murray, a much more efficient statistical passer who gets better by the week. Look no further than how Shaw performed at Vandy to see his talent limitations when facing a solid SEC D.
Either way should be a fun competitive game, I did jump all over Georgia at +3 Monday, but wouldn't be shocked by either side winning.
