Nate Frazier expected to return for No. 1 Georgia against Auburn

Summary

Nate Frazier, starting running back for No. 1 Georgia, is expected to return for Saturday's game against Auburn after missing last week due to a rib injury. Georgia, currently 6-0 and ranked first in the SEC, narrowly defeated Alabama 20-17 without Frazier and backup Chauncey Bowens. During that game, Dwight 'Peanut' Phillips Jr. led the rushing effort with 120 yards. Auburn enters this matchup at 3-2, following a loss to Tennessee. Auburn will be without linebacker Xavier Atkins, and Georgia aims to extend its winning streak in the rivalry, which has reached nine straight victories.
