The Georgia Bulldogs fought their way to an undefeated regular season despite numerous games missed from a variety of star players, but in their SEC Championship Game loss to Alabama it finally caught up with them. Georgia may have been able to deal with the limitations of Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey, but UGASports.com's Radi Nabulsi feels it was actually an offensive line injury that may have hurt UGA the most.

"The minute Mims was out, the offense would change, it was completely different the rest of the way, you were handcuffed on the second drive when Mims went down," says Radi Nabulsi. "Georgia was worried about protecting Carson Beck and everything changed. It was indicative of the entire season, you have not had a healthy team. I've been doing this 30 years, never seen a team that's had more injuries than this one."


Georgia certainly wasn't the only team missing guys or with guys who weren't 100%, Alabama was playing without their lead running back as well, but ultimately it's tough to come to terms that you weren't at your best in the game that ended their chances of a three-peat.
