The Georgia Bulldogs have suffered another blow to their roster ahead of their highly anticipated Allstate Sugar Bowl matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Reports confirm that sophomore running back Roderick Robinson will be unavailable for the game due to an injury sustained during practice. This adds to the team’s challenges as they are already set to play without starting quarterback Carson Beck.
Robinson’s injury comes at an unfortunate time, as the running back had only recently returned to action after battling turf toe for the majority of the 2024 season. According to sources from UGASports.com, Robinson’s latest setback is a lower-body injury incurred during bowl game preparations.
Robinson’s absence will likely impact Georgia’s offensive depth, as the sophomore had been expected to play a key role in the backfield. While the Bulldogs boast a deep running back group, the loss of a versatile player like Robinson will undoubtedly be felt, especially against a formidable Notre Dame team.
