The good news for Georgia is that Jackson, Burton, Ericson and Fitzpatrick have recovered and are expected to start but the Bulldog’s receiver depth is lacking. UGA has lost its top-three receivers in George Pickens, Dominick Blaylock  and Arik Gilbert, which could give the Tigers an opportunity to bring another defender in the box to stop the Bulldogs’ stout running game.
