Georgia will have to finish the game against Texas without leading tackler CJ Allen on Saturday night. Allen has been ruled ‘out for now’ with a ‘leg injury’.

Allen was seen walking toward the locker room in the second quarter. The junior linebacker had three tackles and a tackle for loss in the two quarters of play so far.

Georgia has leaned on Raylen Wilson and Chris Cole since Allen went down. The junior has become a key figure in Georgia’s defense, physically and spiritually.

“I wish he were out there every play. I mean, he’s a machine, he erases things,” Head coach Kirby Smart told reporters after Georgia’s win over Florida. “The kid practices so hard and wants to win so bad for Georgia. I don’t know that I’ve seen a kid that cared more about the team performance than CJ does. Now, a lot of people care about it. They’re not willing to practice like he does. He practices so hard that it comes across in his play. He’s a great leader, and I appreciate the work he puts into it.”

Georgia currently is leading Texas in the second half. More details will be added as they become available.
