Is that because of Fulton's turf toe? I thought Fulton played well in the A&M game, although he got off to a shaky start (as did the whole team).



They've been cross-training him for it all year, but Fulton's injury pushed it through to happening. He's played STAR and MONEY, but again, against WCU and Auburn.

I think they'll roll with him early, but will be oh so quick to pull him if something goes wrong. Fulton being healthier won't force Geno into as much playing time. Fulton caught a bit of my ire against A&M, he got drug by Mike Evans early. But he bounced back in the second half with those breakups.

They want Geno at STAR, but Milliner will probably end up the way to go there Saturday with Smith moving back to Money. After all, they need all the cover men they can get on the field against a passing team. UGA doesn't have a dominant WR left, so it will be easier to put Fulton on one and move Milliner in.

Can Collins not grasp the assignments? He is as fast as any of Bama's corners and should be a much better tackler. He has unbelievable closing speed, and should be a boss on the coverages that require him to play over the top of the receiver on the boundary with a CB in a trail position.

I don't understand why C.J. Mosely ever comes off the field. When he is out it is an invitation to pass. He is by far the best coverage LB but I also think is is just as good at stopping the run. He is fast to the edge and he gets off blocks.

Hell, he is an All American.
