Georgia-Vanderbilt injury updates include Ladd McConkey, Kendall Milton and Brock Bowers
NASHVILLE — Kirby Smart said he’s never had a bye week “that came at the wrong time,” but there’s no doubt his football team is banged up.

Hope springs eternal, my sainted mother used to say. Well, all UGA can do is hope these new injuries heal over the next two weeks. I cannot imagine the offense without Brock Bowers...or Truss for that matter. Milton....I never depend on him. Great back...but injury prone.
Agree. I wonder if Roderick Robinson is closer to being back ? He was doing really well before he got injured. Like You and All Dawgs fans I’m holding my breath about Brock Bowers. He’s a Huge part of the Offense. HUGE. If he’s out any length of time it will be a Big uphill struggle for the O. Maybe they can heal up in the two weeks. Sure hope so.
The Bye Week could not come at a better time....Everybody not listed as out will be ready and the focus will be like The Wildcats, run, run, run with some deep shots thrown in for good measure. Disappointed we didn't get any "Developmental Time" for the 2's and 3's but for sure they will get plenty of reps with the 1's i the next two weeks. Speaking of deep shots.....Arian, practice, practice, practice....Dom, you're lookin good and Rara keep on getting better!
I was pleased with the much more balanced attack (260 passing, 281 rushing), but the mistakes and miscues concern me. We had 1 interception and 3 fumbles (only lost one). And Beck continues to miss wide open receivers. Mistakes like these might cost us a game against a stronger opponent like Tenn. or Ole Miss. As mentioned by others, Bowers is an absolute necessary component of our offense, if we have any hope of repeating.
I disagree. IMO...Bowers is one of the greatest football players, I've ever seen. That being said...he's not a "necessary component" for UGA to win the Natty. However, Beck & Vandergriff...ARE necessary.
From what i see...Beck is still working on in-game communications and timing with some of the "new" receivers. Those connections have improved immensely, since game 1 and will get better, every week.
I pity the fool, that will have to play em, in the SECCG. But...if UGA goes into that game, undefeated...and, a 1-loss Bama meets em there, on the CFP bubble.....look for a game similar to the 2021 game. Depending on what the rest of FBS looks like. If the SEC can get 2 teams in the CFP with a UGA loss....MAYBE 2021 plays out...AGAIN! [NOT saying UGA threw that 2021 SECCG...but...???].
Just sayin'...An awful lot of money, goes to the SEC with 2 teams in the CFP. It's the Smart play. Lol
If not for Bowers we might have already lost one game (Auburn). So I have to say again that he is a necessary component to winning a natty.
