Georgia is in some hot water at the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, trailing Florida 13-6. The Bulldogs finished the first half without their No. 1 running back, Trevor Etienne. According to ESPN’s Holly Rowe, Etienne has a rib injury and is expected to return to the game.

The coaching staff does not know how much he will be able to play, however, nor do they know how effective he will be according to Rowe. Etienne carried the ball seven times for 31 yards in the first half. He’s the Bulldogs’ leading rusher on the year.

Etienne spent his first two seasons of college ball at Florida. He entered transfer portal after the 2023 season and soon joined the Georgia football program. Etienne came into Saturday’s game with 82 carries for 422 yards and seven touchdowns. He has also caught 20 passes for 130 yards on the year.

The Louisiana native missed the season opener against Clemson after an offseason arrest for reckless driving. Etienne returned the next week and has started each of Georgia’s past seven games.

Update on Etienne’s status…

Georgia has tied the game at 13 on a two-yard touchdown run from Nate Frazier. The Bulldogs have possessed the ball twice in the second half and Etienne has yet to return to the game.

With Etienne out, Frazier has taken on the lion’s share of snaps at running back. He has 11 carries for 43 yards and a score. The Bulldogs are also using Cash Jones, a walk-on, in obvious passing situations. Chauncey Bowens and Dwight Phillips, both true freshmen, also made the trip.

Georgia is already without a pair of backs with at least one season each under their belts. Branson Robinson (knee) and Roderick Robinson (toe) did not make the trip to Jacksonville with the team.
