Much of the Georgia versus Clemson pregame discussion has been revolving around UGA’s injury bug, which seemed to bite at the wrong time.
Just weeks before the top-five clash, Georgia tight ends Darnell Washington and John Fitzpatrick, receivers Kearis Jackson and Jermaine Burton, defensive back Tykee Smith, and center Warren Ericson all went down with injuries during fall camp.
It wasn’t like the Bulldogs were at 100% before then. Receiver Dominick Blaylock is still recovering from an ACL tear suffered last year along with George Pickens, who suffered the same injury in the spring and LSU transfer Arik Gilbert is still not with the team due to a personal issue.
