re: UGA fans, how concerned are you with the RB depth?

Kirby wants to play murder ball but if you don't have the bell cow RB how will that work?

UGA is dinged up with RB's (top 2 guys have nagging stuff) and lost their #3 for the season (Branson Robinson).

UGA doesn't run the ball like they used to when in the lead. They pass much more when games are in doubt and shift to running the ball to get to the end of the game with a big lead. An example of that would be UGA vs SC last year. Kenny McIntosh only had 4 carries as the starter. Most of the reps were by the backups once UGA had a big lead to run out the clock.

Compare that to the UK game, the one game UGA basically went run first the whole game. McIntosh had 19 carries. Edwards (then the #2) had 14.

More than likely, their top 2 (Edwards and Milton) will be out of the lineup pretty early in the first 2 games if not resting entirely. These are 2 opponents that the young guys will probably be good enough against and they can use the snaps. Hopefully the top guys will be fully healed by SC and ready to go and from then on we should be fine.

If UGA did get into a scenario where they wanted to run early in a game, it will likely not be as useful given the current nagging injuries. Once those go away they should be okay.
