Roderick Robinson ready to power up Georgia backfield, return to ‘RBU’
ATHENS — Georgia football is ready to make another run at becoming “RBU” this season.

He looks like he can be very good. I also like Branson Robinson. He looked very good before he got hurt. Entienne looks a lot like James Cook. Plus, at least one of the incoming freshmen should get to play early. Running game should be really good. With Beck coming back, the offense just might be the best we’ve seen.
Can the D line improve is the biggest question for me. Especially in putting more pressure on the QB. We just weren’t very good last season in getting to the QB. Plus, we were not very good at stopping the run, especially on the edge. Gotta get better up front on D.
I loved watching Rod tear it up in the Orange Bowl. He is a beast, and everyone is expecting a great season out of him and the other RB guys in 2024. I haven't seen enough of Branson Robinson to have an opinion. I'm hoping Etienne gets even better this season. We're going to need a good duo of RBs to make it through what will be a brutally long season.
I'd probably give the RBU edge to Ohio State as they will have a lot of experience with Judkins and Henderson in their backfield. That will be a nightmare for any team.
I would liken Entienne to a stronger, faster, Daijun Edwards with good change of direction between the tackes. WHich is scary. He breaks tackles whereas Cook was a one cut runner generally ran outside the tackles and usually went down when the first guy hit him. Not much run after contact. Entienne Just a better runner than Cook. Cook maybe the better pass catcher. But it remains to be seen.
I think we will see some 21 or 22 personell formations with Rod as a lead blocker/fullback with one of the other backs. Long ago, run stoppers had to worry about the leadback/fullback getting the ball. Teams would consistently give to the other back, and once the defense stops going for the fake to the fullback, you actually give him the ball. As long as a defense is committing someone to stop the fullback into the line, there is at least one fewer potential tackler for the other running back or WR end around. And when that "fullback" is just a big, heavy true running back, more "stress" is put on the defense. I love when UGA has "weapons" that give opposing defensive coordinators sleepless nights.
