4. Lawrence Cager is the difference maker…if he is ok
Other than Jake Fromm, there might not be a player more important to the Georgia offense than wide receiver Lawrence Cager.
Cager, the team’s leading receiver through nine games, has been the difference maker in two big wins vs Notre Dame and Florida.
Last week vs Missouri, Cager re-injured his shoulder, which has been bothering him all season along with a rib injury. When he went down, he had six first half catches for 92 yards.
However, Kirby Smart indicated that Cager is ok and should be good to go this weekend vs Auburn. That’s not certain, though and we will still have wait and see.
If that’s true, I would expect him to be the difference maker again on Saturday.
There’s not a single Auburn defensive back who can handle the height of Cager, who stands 6’5″ – look what LSU’s receivers did to Auburn’s secondary when they met a few weeks ago.
Four different LSU players had seven or more catches against Auburn.
