Kirby Smart provides an update on Georgia RB room as Bulldogs battle injury
ATHENS — The Georgia running back room very much welcomes this upcoming game against UMass.

If Etienne, Robinson, and Robinson are unavailable through injury it just means Frazier and the other freshmen have to step up. It's just that simple. Tell those guys to get their head around that fact and get ready.
Go Dawgs!
"for saturday's game vs GA Tech". Fans, be sure not to miss GA Tech @ UGA on FRIDAY night 11/29.
I bet we don't see any of these guys back before the postseason, and I am betting we won't see Roderick back until next season.
On Frazier's productivity: to be frank, I think he's every bit as capable as Etienne, even age/experience aside… maybe better in the near future?
If you subtract out Tennessee Tech (where Etienne was 15.6 yards/carry), the two backs' productivity records are very similar (within a few hundredths). In fact, Frazier was 7.5 yards/carry against Clemson, not exactly a cupcake opponent; Etienne didn't play, so no direct comparison. Otherwise, you'll see both with very similar results across games…
I'm pretty sure that, as long as Frazier takes-to-heart CKS' guidance around on-field behavior (no more unsportsmanlike penalties), we may all be VERY happy when he gets the rock the next two weeks 💪
I am an Etienne fan, but Frazier is definitely maturing quickly into a formidable back. In another year he will surpass Etienne, who will likely head off to the league. B. Robinson will be a welcome addition back from injury. Chauncey Bowens I am not sure about as yet. Big, tough kid. We'll see. Bell and Jones will likely be a go for Tech as well.
