Georgia Bulldogs running back Trevor Etienne was ruled questionable earlier this week, is now ruled out for the game against No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers due to a ribs injury. Etienne had been limited in both of Georgia’s games since their bye week.
The UGA running back room is already thin with Cash Jones’ status still up in the air for the matchup Saturday. Now the offense will turn to freshman running back Nate Frazier to lead the charge. Frazier has two games of 80 plus yards as the lead rusher this season.
He has the capability to make a much needed impact on the game. The knocks on Frazier are his ball carrying and pass protection. He had two fumbles in Georgia’s 28-10 loss against No. 10 Ole Miss.
With the injuries at play there is a possibility of seeing wide receiver Dillon Bell in the backfield to help relieve the short rotation of backs that are able to go this Saturday. Bell had five games of 20 plus rushing yards last season, so he has the experience in the backfield.
