Georgia will not be bringing its full roster to Arkansas this weekend.

I don't understand why the visiting team is basically penalized right off the bat for going away. First they have to travel to the opponents field to play and be subjected to their fans, then they are limited to the amount of players they can bring which is 74 that means that 31 bodies are not going to be available if needed. This doesn't seem quite right to me as being equal and fair. Can someone explain this to me, what am I missing here?
Is no ILB capable of being cross trained as an OLB. Might solve the shortage issue
Excellent question ! Wish I knew the answer. And I agree it does seem to slant things to the home team’s advantage. Maybe somebody will have the info. on that.
That’s also a good question. They can slide Gabe Harris over to OLB depending on what they want to do on a particular play. He’s played both DE and OLB. There might be others with similar skill sets. But your right cross training is a good thing and I hope it’s implemented behind the scenes more than we realize. Like they do with the O Line.
Go Dawgs! I'll take these 74 players over most teams whole rosters!!!
Chris Cole was lining up at OLB several times against Arkansas. We went Dean 5t, Harris & Sone at 0t & 3t and Cole OLB across the line on 3rd &12 then 3rd & 17 after false start on drive where up 28 to 0.
Also had Zaylen Walker lining up last year at OLB rush end late in season a lot.
Hearing that both the freshmen Littlejohn & Penick are being used in versatile roles as well.
