Running back duo clutches up for Georgia

Georgia’s running back duo comes through in critical moments in UGA’s 8OT win over Georgia Tech

In a banged up running back room, Georgia counted on Nate Frazier and Cash Jones in Georgia’s eight overtime win over Georgia Tech. Frazier and Jones both delivered key plays in overtime with starter Trevor Etienne sidelined due to a ribs injury.

Frazier and Jones both stepped up in the passing and run game to help elevate the Bulldogs in their 44-42 victory.

Cash Jones stepped up in big moments with blocking in the pass game or being the complementary back.

Against Georgia Tech, Jones was a security blanket all night turning those check downs into first downs for the offense. He was Carson Beck’s most reliable receiver all night.

Jones’ biggest reception was the 25-yard wheel route that turned into a touchdown in the second overtime. Jones ended the game with four receptions, team-leading 53 yards, and one touchdown. This marks the sixth game where Jones had more than 20 receiving yards this season.

Nate Frazier was a consistent light when the times were looking dark when the offense could not get anything going.

Frazier has scored a touchdown in all but one game when he touches the football 10 times or more. Frazier ended the Georgia Tech game with 13 touches, 68 yards, and one touchdown.

In overtime the offense went away from Frazier. Frazier finally got his hands on the football in the eighth overtime period. He ended the game when he found a cutback lane and he scored the game-winning two point conversion.

Another Georgia RB is injured

The Georgia Bulldogs are already without running backs Branson Robinson and Roderick Robinson entering the game against the Tennessee Volunteers. Georgia may also be without running back Cash Jones (questionable), who has been seen wearing a walking boot following the Ole Miss game.

“We’ll find out when the injury report comes out,” Georgia football coach Kirby Smart said. The weekly SEC injury report will be announced Wednesday night and updated ahead of the Tennessee game.

Now, Georgia will rely even more heavily on freshman running back Nate Frazier. Frazier totaled 12 carries, 47 rushing yards and one touchdown against Ole Miss, but he had a pair of fumbles.

Georgia’s top running back, Trevor Etienne (questionable), is fighting through a ribs injury and had just six carries in UGA’s loss to Ole Miss.

The Georgia offensive line needs to do a better job of creating holes for Georgia running backs. However, Georgia is dealing with several offensive line injuries as well. Offensive guards Tate Ratledge and Micah Morris (questionable) are not close to 100%.

“We’ve got guys injured left and right out there,” Smart said about Georgia’s offensive line. “So, we’re running a drill and there’s no guard in there because we’re out of guards.”

Georgia may have to resort to playing wide receiver Dillon Bell at running back some to try to get some production out of the rushing attack.
