Georgia Bulldogs Facing Offensive Line Woes Ahead of Crucial Auburn Matchup
11 Oct
Summary
- Georgia's starting offensive tackles Earnest Greene and Monroe Freeling are questionable for the upcoming game against Auburn
- Georgia may have to rely on inexperienced backups if both players miss the game
- The Bulldogs' passing offense has struggled this season, averaging just 231.8 yards per game

As the Georgia Bulldogs prepare for their Week 7 matchup against the Auburn Tigers, they are facing a significant challenge on the offensive line. Both of the Bulldogs' starting offensive tackles, Earnest Greene and Monroe Freeling, are listed as questionable for the game, with Greene likely to miss the contest and Freeling's status still very much in question.
If both players are unable to suit up, Georgia will be forced to turn to a group of inexperienced backups, including Jahzare Jackson, Bo Hughley, Nyier Daniels, and Jamal Merriweather. This could spell trouble for the Bulldogs, as their passing offense has struggled this season, averaging just 231.8 yards per game, the sixth-lowest in the SEC.
The Bulldogs are still recovering from their Week 5 loss to Alabama, and with the increasingly competitive SEC, they can ill afford another defeat if they hope to keep their College Football Playoff aspirations alive. Georgia has bounced back with a 35-14 win over Kentucky, but the team's offensive line woes could prove to be a significant obstacle against an Auburn defense that has already recorded 16 sacks this season, tied for the fifth-most in the conference.
