Overview

• Bowens, a redshirt freshman, now tops Georgia with 310 rushing yards at 5.5 per carry after making his first start in the 35-14 win over Kentucky.
• He logged 15 carries for 70 yards against Kentucky after a 119-yard, one-touchdown breakout at Alabama on Sept. 27.
• Coaches signaled continued rotation at running back as Bowens noted a standard to keep players fresh, with Nate Frazier still involved despite recent ball-security issues.
• Kirby Smart said right tackle Earnest Greene III is rehabbing and left tackle Monroe Freeling’s ankle injury is less serious than first feared with a chance to play, while defensive lineman Jordan Hall should be fine.
• Smart identified a groin injury for rookie receiver Thomas Blackshear as an ongoing concern as Georgia prepares for an Auburn defense that just allowed 207 rushing yards to Texas A&M.
