Caleb King No. 2 RB on UGA depth chart

Behind starter Knowshon Moreno on the Georgia depth chart at tailback, redshirt freshman Caleb King is listed No. 2 and true freshman Richard Samuel No. 3.

Coach Mark Richt said both King and Samuel will play and that the depth-chart pecking order is inconsequential.

King has missed much practice time with a hamstring injury but returned to full work this week.

Richt’s warning

As Georgia preps for Georgia Southern, Richt made a point to mention the A-word to his team: Appalachian State.

That, of course, is the team that opened last season with one of the biggest upsets in college football history, beating Michigan on the road. Seven weeks later, Appalachian State lost to fellow Southern Conference member Georgia Southern.

“So that gets my attention,” Richt said.

Etc. …

Richt said he expects eight to 12 true freshmen to play Saturday. … Quarterback Matthew Stafford on the Bulldogs’ No. 1 ranking: “It’s better than everybody hating you.”
