Athens — Georgia's Knowshon Moreno will not be alone in the backfield next season.

Georgia coaches have already started to scheme how they can utilize both Moreno and Caleb King in the backfield at the same time in 2008. The look could be somewhat similar to 2007 when, at times, Thomas Brown and Moreno were in the backfield together.

"We are going to go through the spring and get Caleb more aware of what we are doing offensively and see how much he can handle," said running back coach Tony Ball. "If he can show he can handle more plays then we will look at the possibility of designing some plays [for him] or just putting him and Moreno in the backfield together.

"Right now we want to get through the spring and see how much he can handle."

King, who redshirted last year, was almost asked to handle some of the load a true freshman. But, at the last minute, the coaches decided to just ride Moreno during the stretch of time that Brown and Kregg Lumpkin were hurt.

Moreno responded by rushing for 1, 396 yards and 14 touchdowns.
