Georgia football is set to take on Texas in the SEC Championship game on Saturday as they look to beat the Longhorns for the second time this season after winning by 15 points in the first meeting.

Texas presents a lot of unique challenges on their own, but potentially the biggest challenge that Georgia will face in this game is replacing the players that are injured and either not playing at all or playing in a limited role. This has been the story of the entire season for Georgia, but heading into Saturday's game the Bulldogs are actually healthier than they have been in quite some time.

And this is seen on their injury report released late on Friday night.

Can Georgia overcome these injuries?

If Georgia is going to beat Texas, they are going to have to find a way to overcome these injuries. In a perfect world though, the four players listed as questionable will play against Texas, but an update earlier this week from Kirby Smart makes it seem like running back Trevor Etienne and defensive lineman Christen Miller will not be available.

Smart did share in that update that both players have recently begun taking reps in practice, but it didn't sound like they were full participants at practice. On top of that, Smart's answer to a reporter's question about their health was short and had an abrupt end to it, so that made it seem like both will not be ready to go against Texas.

Running back Branson Robinson on the other hand is someone who seems more likely to play than to not. He was very close to returning against Georgia Tech last week, so it would be surprising if he did not play in the SEC Championship game on Saturday.
