Not good, but what can you do? If we can use Phillips, Walker, & Peal against Auburn then maybe we get back Frazier after the BYE week…and boy, do we ever need an off week. I'm not real hopeful about Bowens, because ankle injuries tend to linger and take a while to fully recover from to be able to play football. But, if it's just a Grade 1 sprain (and not a high ankle sprain), he might be back by Florida. Honestly, the Dante Dowdell injury is the one that bugs the heck out of me, because I was really looking forward to seeing that great RB be an asset for the Dawgs.
After the monumental win, I'm going to take a "glass half full approach." Just think how loaded the offense will be when everyone gets healthy. Go Dawgs!
Maybe Jae Lamar sees the opportunity to really lean in and raise his true freshman game, accelerate his pass protection ability to earn a few snaps. What has become of Dillon Bell's brother Micah, transferred in with what looked like upside? Goi Dawgs!
Jae Lamar? Thought he was a RB on scholarship.
@MontanaDawg @Eric_C Fully agree with both of you. Dawgs have had more than their fair share of injuries for sure. Most of the focus was on the Great job Dwight “Peanut” Phillips did ! And very much rightly so. But Bo Walker contributed very nicely as well. Don’t know how many yds. Peal posted but he looks like a capable RB.
As Montana said if we can dodge any further injuries vs. Auburn perhaps Frazier will be back after the Bye. And I also agree I wouldn’t count on Bowens being back soon as the ankle injuries Do seem to linger. It’s my understanding that Blackshear has a broken collarbone that to will take time to heal. I have a non-union permanently broken left collarbone. No fun !!
I want to bring up Tyriq Green. He was looking Really good on Special Teams. And any snaps he could get in his usual position as a DB would serve well for experience for next year. Green is gonna be a star at UGA if he can go without any further significant injuries. He has that “ It” factor in my opinion. Eyes on the prize vs Auburn !! Eyes on the prize. Can’t let them come in and kick the ladder out from under our Dawgs coming off a Huge and emotional win !! But I trust Kirby will be lecturing them all week on that !! And at least it’s not a Noon game after the big win, that would be worse !! Get to the Bye. Get guys healthy work on issues that need cleaning up. Go Dawgs !!
Smart = the best coach in college. Smart = would be a great spy. they could never torture info out of him! lol.
Hope Phillips didn't have any lingering problems from that last hit at Bama.
It's interesting. Some kids expect to play. Some find that they haven't the prior experience to block in passing situations. So many just can't play their freshman year due to size or maturity. Running back is one of those areas, mostly due to pass blocking. This is where the portal and NIL can really hurt. Kids five deep on the chart can be lured to other schools, when the chance they want is closer than they think.
Funny how, if UGA has a handful of players listed as "questionable" on the first report, they typically end up "out" by game day. LSU? Virtually every one listed as "questionable" on Wednesday is "available" by game day... the head coach matters! 🤠
We still have 3 EXCELLENT running backs so Bobo use them and quit with the oh woe is me.
