Georgia wide receiver Lawrence Cager will miss UGA’s next two games after suffering an ankle injury in practice this week.
Not exactly what a team with a struggling offense needs. College football analyst Tim Tebow believes this is a huge loss for the Dawgs, who will need to score points vs LSU.
“I think it’s drastic,” Tebow said on SportsCenter. “The number one problem this year is they haven’t had receivers that can separate. They haven’t been able to do it in big-time games, and I think that’s really hurt the offense. They have a great offensive line. They have a great quarterback and running game, but they don’t have receivers who can win man-to-man coverage. And now, you’ve lost by far your best receiver in Cager. So, this is where someone is going to have to step up. If Georgia is going to win an SEC Championship and contend for a national championship, George Pickens, (Dominick) Blaylock and (Demetris) Robertson have to step up and be that guy. There’s still a chance for them because their defense is also one of the best in the country.”
It is a significant loss indeed, and as Tebow said, the Dawgs’ younger receivers will have to step up to the challenge in order to replace Cager’s production.
