First Injury report for Georgia shows Nico - Questionable

[Nicovfl8]

Bishop out. Damn.

No Karic on there is good though.

Really could use bishop

 

[vol94]

I was really hoping to get Bishop back this week. I know Dsamp is the man obviously but I really liked the 1-2 punch of Samp and Bishop. Lewis is great but he is a freshman so I’m hoping he doesn’t get shaky in front of a liquored up crowd.

And D Samp is banged up. Lewis concerns me in a high pressured game in Athens, esp pass protection.

For as much as Kirby talking about being banged up, I expected to see a longer list.

Same. First time our injured list has been longer than our opponents all year it seems. Not good. Plus, and I know it doesn't show up on this list, but MSU battered us! That was a physical football game. Lots of guys banged up but playing anyway.

Nico ain't playing is my guess

 

[stolitonic]

The way it usually works is how well he practiced on Thursday but it could be a game time decision.

Anybody know how concussion clearance happens in college?

I know NFL has to be done by an outside doctor.

Does anyone else feel that Heupel is leaning towards thinking Nico isn't going to play and wants to give Georgia every indication the chance of him playing is 60-40 without lying?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Absolutely, but I think they're a little different. Having 3 good running backs is better than 2 and I just don't want Sampson getting beaten up carrying 30 tiems a game.

Agree 100% about Sampson. Maybe Keith or Seldon can provide some good carries.

I mean maybe but why? What’s the benefit in that?

I see the nico questionable as a strategy to waste uga film time on Gaston

Not much of a diversion, not a lot of film on Gaston...lol

 

[Other_Guy]

If he isn't going to play, might as well make Georgia think he is so they aren't as prepared for Gaston and a little different offense.

Seldon and Lewis will probably get 7 to 10 carries each against Georgia while Sampson gets at least 30 to 35 carries Saturday night.

Another Georgia RB is injured

Georgia is really beat up on offense - they have had a really challenging schedule and physical games.

 

[LordBolton]

UGA's top 2 RBs are also questionable. Everyone took a beating last week.

I think that's exactly what he's doing.

Wasting film time on Gaston shouldn't take but a few minutes.

 

[Walkman]

Nico is playing!

Gaston is a good player but they aren’t wasting time on his film.

He has one job and it isn’t to make highlight reel plays.

 

[Zues1]

Looks like GA hurting at RB

That's crazy to think about..Ga been cranking out stud RBs since I was a kid

 

[OrangeInKy]

Nico ain't playing is my guess

Agree. I've been skeptical since Saturday night that he will play. Imagine Gaston Moore going down there and leading us to a win. Talk about sending a message to the playoff committee about the strength if your team...

Yeah, Sampson got banged up. We're blessed he's a warrior and played through. Really was hoping to see Bishop back. Lewis has been good, but I'd feel much better knowing he was backing up Bishop if Sampson went down.

But, it is what it is. I have faith we can win this game, they've got some dog in them.

 

[cgbtn]

I think Nico plays. He’ll be questionable on every report, but he’ll play. AP saying he practiced with speakers simulating crowd noise removed my doubt.

If Nico can't go, we need to go to QB3. QB2 showed us last week that he is not an SEC-level QB

Yeah, start a true freshman on the road in an SEC Contest, brilliant. Gaston knows how to run this offense and he didn't play as bad as some of you are making it out to be.

 

[perico]

More concerned about Thornton than anyone else. We are in trouble without Nico, but Thornton has been our big play specialist.
