The Georgia Bulldogs have named their captains ahead of the Allstate Sugar Bowl against the Baylor Bears. Georgia’s Jake Fromm, Monty Rice, Charlie Woerner, and D’Andre Swift will be captains for the game:

Does this indicate that D’Andre Swift, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, will play? Swift injured his shoulder against Georgia Tech and definitely was not near 100 percent against the LSU Tigers. Earlier today, David Pollack indicated UGA would be without Swift. Is he wrong? If Swift is captain, it is more likely that he’ll be playing.
That being said, not all captains are healthy enough to play in their bowl games. Take note of Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa in today’s game against Michigan:

Kirby Smart and UGA will seek leadership from their captains, who will look to have a better performance in the Sugar Bowl this time. Last season, Georgia fell 28-21 against the Texas Longhorns.
The Bulldogs will be without numerous players against Baylor due to injury or players who are preparing for the 2020 NFL Draft. Georgia will be especially depleted along their offensive front.
