What happened: Georgia running back Chauncey Bowens has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against Alabama. Bowens leads the Bulldogs with six rushing touchdowns this season and serves as the primary power back.

Why it matters: The absence forces a backfield adjustment ahead of the SEC showdown. Dwight Phillips and Bo Walker will rotate in to handle carries alongside Frazier, who sat out the last two weeks against Vanderbilt and Oklahoma.

By the numbers: Bowens ran for 119 yards and a touchdown against Alabama last season, while Frazier leads the 2026 squad with 211 rushing yards on 26 attempts.

What to watch: Coaches will monitor Frazier's workload as he returns to full speed against the Crimson Tide defensive front.
