Swift was not supposed to play last night

I don't know exactly what it is about the situation that gets me, but dang. Swift a DGD. Extremely surprised that he didn't make a business decision. I doubt many fans would have questioned him if he did.

So what was the story? Did the announcers not say a few different times in the beginning that him playing was up to him? Has he officially declared yet? I know we all expect it, just couldn't recall.

Will always remember him well, like Boykin, just a really damn good dawg.

i'll always remember swift's TD run against AU in the SEC championship - the last nail in AU's coffin that night.

If I recall correctly, he has a banged up shoulder. He was cleared to play, but Kirby did not want to chance reinjuring his shoulder and cost him money, so Kirby let Swift make the call.

Keep in mind, that being cleared to play does not mean you are 100%. It means you can play. I suspect Swift was probably 80% or so and decided not to take too much of a chance, but wanted to contribute in some way.

THAT IS SPECULATION ON MY PART

This is what I was referring to, so thanks for the clarification. I had not heard anything other than the announcers saying that Swift said it was his call.

He should go get that money. He went out a winner.

He should play for the XFL

You onlyget the college experience once, after going pro you have to adult, and you'll never get those college years back, he has tons of friends and relationships he's made, and still has alot more he can do here.

If he wants to come back I certainly will take it. I think a big part of the reason he REALLY wanted to play in the Sugar Bowl is because he knows that was probably his last time playing football in a UGA jersey though. Running back is one position that I fully support getting to league ASAP as they have shorter careers. A guy like Gurley might be close to done already because of an injury he suffered in college, but he made it to the second contract.
