ATHENS, Georgia -- The Georgia Bulldogs will be without running back Thomas Brown for the rest of the season after the junior suffered a torn ACL in Saturday's loss to Vanderbilt. It was another blow for the Bulldogs, who were unbeaten and ranked 10th in the country two weeks ago before losing back-to-back home games against Tennessee and Vandy to fall out of the polls.


The team's second leading rusher with 256 yards and a touchdown on 62 carries, Brown rushed for a season-high 75 yards Saturday on 11 carries. He was also the team's leading kickoff returner with 15 returns for 379 yards and a TD. With Brown out, the rushing duties will now be handled by Kregg Lumpkin and Danny Ware. Before Brown's injury, the trio had combined for 853 yards and five TDs in seven games.

Most UGA fans will say this is no big loss, that Lumpkin was the horse anyway and they don't understand why CMR is so in love with TB. I disagree with that. TB was/will be a good running back if he ever gets some actual run-blocking. Unfortunately, that didn't happen this year and probably won't happen next year. I sincerely hope he comes back strong, but you just never know with an injury like that.
