Southerland may return sooner?


Southerland vs. Colorado in '06 (Image: Hipple)

When Brannan Southerland injured/re-injured his ankle the initial projection had him back in time for the Bama or Tennessee games. Chip Towers of the AJC spoke with Brannan briefly late last week, and it sounds like he might be back in time for Arizona State. It's an oddly worded thing, but that's how I read it.

The past two off seasons Richt talked about using two tailbacks in the game at the same time. When you go back and watch the season opener vs. South Carolina in 2006, you see some two tailback sets. Same with some early games in 2007. We rarely end up using those sets very often, and the reason is simple. If you want your best 11 players on the field at the same time...Brannan Southerland is one of the 11.

Here's hoping to a complete and timely recovery.
