Things to know: Georgia tackles South Carolina with 4 major players less than 100 percent
ATHENS — Georgia football holds the No. 1 ranking, the Bulldogs have yet to look like the best team in the nation for a couple of reasons.

I fully trust Kirby and Ron Courson to know how to deal with these injured players. I’m confident they will make the right decisions. But perhaps they might want to rest the ones with the most severe residual issues. Dawgs should be able to beat SC with one or two of these guys out. Go Dawgs !!
I KNEW something was physically wrong with Bowers. I said it here in a post just this past week. Kirby saying you couldn't tell he was injured is just spin on his part. I could tell and so could many others. He just has not had that typical Brock Bowers "burst." Even the touchdown he scored on the jet sweep, he normally cleanly beats the defender to the end zone on that play. But this time, the guy hit Brock short of the end zone and Brock just sort of propelled himself in there. Groins are tricky because they can sometimes linger. Maybe we should have held him out of the first two game to give him complete rest. Now, we can't do it, even against South Carolina. I KNOW Kirby doesn't have to tell us peons anything, but I sure do hate the narrative they were spinning that they were simply trying to lessen Brock's load, instead of just saying that he's a little dinged up. Or, as I previously stated, just hold him out for two games like we did with Daijun Edwards. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it -- no matter how many top tight ends we sign, Georgia NEEDS to sign a 5-star wide receiver. Soon. Go Dawgs!
Kirby knows EVERYTHING. That you don't. I trust his and his staff's decisions to play or not play Brock. Or anyone.
Brock plays. Ladd doesn't. Some do, some don't. Some are OK, some shouldn't. Kirby's knows what's up.
Beck looked as good as the team around him, allowed him to look, over the last 2 weeks. IMO
I expect a huge leap today...if he gets his weapons back, healthy. If not...look for a lot of runs, swing passes and perimeter passes...along with a steady diet of "Havoc Defense".
FYI....Kirby said, that Bowers was playing at less than 100%, 2 weeks ago...after the UTM Game. Just sayin'.. Lol
And, you are right about one thing...a groin injury can linger. I played for a year and a half, [off & on], with a groin injury. It's frustrating...but, sitting out doesn't really help it that much. And, you will surely injure it again, if you return too soon. Sometimes worse than it was originally.
To me, that's one of the worst injuries a player can have. It's not so bad you can't play...but, it's bad enough to be a distraction and "take away" from your game. I'm sure, the Heisman conversation swirling around Bowers, has a lot to do with him playing the last two weeks. IMO
