Georgia center Drew Bobo was added to the team’s availability report on Thursday.

Really bad timing. Continuity along the O-line can easily make or break your running game and pass protection, win or lose a game, and definitely affected the Dawgs run last year.
That was a gut reaction to a pretty important position on the O line. He has proven it time and again. Drew is the center of that line in more ways than one. The other two alternatives do not compare in ability. UGA can only hope they have improved. Missouri will absolutely take advantage as best they are able, but that is football. It is not certain, I hear, that he is out….just questionable. Sorry for being so negative in your eyes CTD!
Next man up. Hope he is more ready this year than last year.
I don't know who is going to replace Bobo, but the last time this happened Gunner almost got killed. The coaching staff needs to be certain about their choice because more is at stake than this one game.
I saw yesterday that UGA is nominated for the Joe Moore Award (OL). Though I don't consider this OL "better" than the championship lines at UGA in '21-'22, this line doesn't have to be better than those 2 runner up lines. They just have to be better than everyone else's '26 line.
I would hate to see a couple of mediocre games by the UGA OL while Bobo is out cost this OL this award.
Remember when Drew Bobo was committed to AU? CMB was OC at AU under Harsin (1 yr). Kirby scooped up his old friend when CMB wasn't retained and his 3* son came along almost as an afterthought.
I wouldnt be surprised if Kirby is gaming a little- this opportunity gives next years center some much needed SEC experience however Mizz has a pretty strong DL/LB core group
I would debate that this line is just as good if not better than the '21, '22 lines. While those lines were very good, this line has exceptional talent at every position. Gaston and Glover started as freshman and are dominant at times. Bobo is extremely good at center and while Helton is a freshman he's athletic and strong as a bull.
YES Drew Bobo is an integral part of the O Line. He’s very good at his job. But I’m gonna trust our young O Line Coach who I feel has done an excellent job. I’m gonna trust that whoever steps on for Drew IF someone has to step in will do a sufficient enough job to get things done. No one is exempt from injuries so the next guy up Has to be ready !! Go Dawgs !!
Center postion is so key to this offense. Bobo's replacement wasn't terrible in the Sugar Bowl last season but one big mental mistake - Remember a questionable decision on 4th-and-2 from their own 32 yard line in the fourth quarter vs Ole Miss? UGA lined up like it was going to just try to draw an offsides penalty on the Rebels, but redshirt freshman center Malachi Toliver snapped the ball and quarterback Gunner Stockton was **** sacked for a 10-yard loss by an Ole Miss linebacker, who was unblocked. The error on fourth down was one of Georgia's biggest blunders of the game. Hopefully everyone's learned from that but really need Bobo in there.
Drew Bobo is ESSENTIAL on our O-line. Have they said what happened in practice to cause an injury??
