King's Out

I still can't believe Caleb King is off the football team.  It really stinks that he couldn't keep his grades up.  I honestly believed that he'd have a break out year, especially with the departure of Washaun Ealey.  Like Ealey, King's tenure at Georgia was disappointing.  They both showed glimpses of greatness, but then they'd follow it up with subpar performances where they'd fall after one hit or hit the hole slow.

The college football season starts in two months and UGA's without their two leading rushers from last year.  Maybe it's better they're gone so UGA can turn the page, similar to how UGA turned the page on Kregg Lumpkin and Thomas Brown.  It took both of the them going down to open the door for Knowshon Moreno to get the majority of carriers.  Although Ealey and King were serviceable, it was evident that they weren't game changers.  I guess we'll see if either redshirt freshman Ken Malcolm or true freshman Isiah Crowell can carry the load for the bulldogs.

If Crowell is ready, I hope Coach Mark Richt uses him because UGA needs a game changer and from what I've seen in his high school highlights, he has the ability.  However, if Crowell is not ready, then I hope Coach Richt eases him into the rotation because it's more important to develop Crowell into a healthy and confident running back than to throw him into the fire and he's no use for the rest of his UGA career.
