Bowens Out Against Auburn, Could Miss More Time as Frazier Eyes Possible Return
Georgia will rely on Dwight Phillips Jr. as Chauncey Bowens misses a second straight game and Nate Frazier’s return remains uncertain, Georgia officials said.
- Georgia running back Chauncey Bowens will miss Saturday's game against the Auburn Tigers due to a calf injury, with his status moving forward in doubt, per Pete Nakos of On3 on Wednesday.
- Bowens' absence marks his second consecutive missed game after a calf injury sidelined him during last week's 20-17 win over Alabama. Despite Georgia's upcoming bye week, he could be out long-term.
- Starting running back Nate Frazier is expected to return for Saturday's Auburn visit after missing the Alabama game with a rib injury. Dwight 'Peanut' Phillips Jr. rushed for 120 yards against Alabama as depth relief.
- Auburn's rush defense ranks third-worst in the Southeastern Conference, allowing 149 yards per game, while Georgia's rushing offense remains fourth-best in the SEC with 211.8 yards per game despite injuries.
- Saturday's matchup marks the 131st game in the 'Deep South's Oldest Rivalry,' which began in 1892. Georgia leads the series 66-56-8 and holds a 10-1 record against Auburn under head coach Kirby Smart.
