lol he plays fullback. who cares? you don't think a team that recruits as well as georgia can't replace southerland?

[bulldog0123]

He is the teams 2006 leading TD rusher also he is a top notch FB. Sure they can get some joe nobody to play decent but southerland blocks like crazy. Hes a major componont in georgias rushing and passing. I mean with him injured whos going to block for stafford when linebacker gets past the lineman...nobody. Whos going to make the key block for moreno with southerland injured...nobody. He is an All-SEC canidate. Also hes 6-2, 240 and has run a 4.52.

2007 key stats: 5 rushing TDs, 1 receiving TD, lots of pancakes/key blocks

2006 key stats: 8 rushing TDs, 2 receiving TDs, lots of pancakes/key blocks

2005 key stats: 3 rushing TDs, 2 receiving TDs, lots of pancakes/key blocks

He won't run a 4.52 at the combine I guarantee.

Secondly Moreno and Caleb King are going to be a great short yardage/goal lien tandem.

It's football, people around him will step up their game. Happens all the time.

Eh, Chapas ain't half bad. Moreno and UGA will be fine. Southerland's good, perhaps enough to be a drafted FB, but...not exactly breaking news.

This might be a bigger loss than alot of you guys are playing it off as.

I don't know of any college ones but when the Vikings lost T-Rich for a couple of games there running game was not the same.

[PuppyPuncher]

****, I thought he was the LT or something. Losing a fullback is not a big deal.

[starqb14]

he is a pretty coolass dude though. would look great in green and gold.

lets be honest now...no one looks good in green and gold. Get paid $50,000,000 to wear green and gold and maybe you'll get a smile...just maybe

2006 - USC.

Granted, it was THREE (3) Fullbacks - but it played a HUGE part of our season-long inability to run the ball consistently.

We lost starter Brandon Han**** before the season, backup Ryan Powdrell in the Nebraska game and 3rd stringer Stanley Havili a few weeks later.

Fast forward to the UCLA game, with a clear road to the National Title in their sights -- and SC is only able to manage 55 net yards rushing...on their way to putting a whopping 9 points on the board (snapping a 63 game streak of scoring 20+ points).

Urban Meyer owes his first NC to the FB injuries at USC.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Alright, well let me know if two more FB get injured for Georgia.

[MMONTERO]

It's kinda like the Tampa Bay offense losing Mike Alstott. You notice when that productive a player is out of the lineup. I don't think it will be destroy their Championship hopes or anything but I do think Moreno will have a harder time running when the holes aren't as good to run through.
