It has been a week of checking the injury report for both the No. 2 Dawgs and Vanderbilt. Both starting Vanderbilt QB Jared Curtis and starting Georgia football RB Nate Frazier have been listed as "questionable" all week.
ESPN reported Saturday morning that Curtis will be a game-time decision, and that he will likely try to play. That outlet further reported that there was "optimism" that Frazier would play against Vanderbilt. He has been out with what has been reported by ESPN with a rib injury.
Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea said that Curtis has been trying to practice all week, but he's been limited.
"He's banged up. He's not been able to be full-go in practice,” Lea said of Curtis. “So I think this has been about the injury report is there for a reason and we want to honor that. Questionable is the right marking for him right now. I'm hopeful. I think every day he's felt a little better and he's done a little more in practice. Certainly not ruling him out.”
On ESPN's College Gameday, Nick Saban reiterated that the Dawgs are the "most complete team in the nation", but that UGA had limited upside because they are the No. 2 team in the country.
