What effect does Georgia’s offensive have from this suspension?
Colbie Young, a wide receiver for Georgia, was charged with one misdemeanor count of battery and one count of assault on an unborn child. This information was first reported Tuesday morning. Although Young has posted bail, Kirby Smart and the Georgia football team have chosen to suspend the wide receiver indefinitely due to his ongoing legal troubles.
Since it was the only sensible option available to Smart, this news actually should not come as a huge surprise. Tuesday night, Smart did not say much about it, but this choice was unavoidable, in my opinion.Everyone is now wondering how this punishment would affect Georgia’s offense going ahead.
So far this season, Young has proven to be a dependable and strong target for the Georgia attack. By no means has he been a standout performer, but he has shown up for every game.
In Georgia’s first two games of the season, Young had just three receptions in total. He did, nevertheless, score a touchdown in each contest. Young has only hit the end zone twice this season, but he has still made a significant contribution.
Young over 50 receiving yards and had three receptions in each of the Bulldogs’ last two games against Auburn and Alabama. It is evident that he is a dependable target for Carson Beck despite his inability to find the end zone.
I will not sit here and tell you that it is the end of the world, but this data does indicate that losing Young is significant. Young is this team’s fourth-leading receiver as of yet this season. He is also one of six Bulldogs who have made aerial touchdowns.
Therefore, even if it will not be easy to bounce back from his setback, I do not think Georgia’s hopes of winning a title will be destroyed. Now, other males will have to take the initiative, but I am sure they can.
