ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Trevor Etienne, the top running back for No. 11 Georgia, has been ruled out of the game Saturday against No. 6 Tennessee with a rib injury. Etienne was hurt in a Nov. 2 victory over Florida, though he did get limited carries in a 28-10 loss to Ole Miss last weekend. He finished with 34 yards on nine carries.

The Georgia Bulldogs welcome rival Tennessee to town on Saturday night in what is essentially a must-win game if Kirby Smart's team hopes to reach the College Football Playoff this season. And now, we know that UGA will be down a key offensive starter in that game.

Georgia running back Trevor Etienne has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Tennessee. The Georgia Bulldogs are just days away from their most important game of the regular season as they prepare to take on the Tennessee Volunteers in Athens.
