Knowshon Moreno Limited This Spring

AthensOnline.com is reporting that Knowshon Moreno could be limited this spring. UGA is worried that he might injure himself in practice. It’s no secret that the Dawgs are out for a National Championship and will take any precautionary measures necessary to make sure they’re ready in September. Here’s what AthensOnline.com had to say:

“Hopefully, these young backs are going to provide competition for him,” offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. “That’s one of the main reasons he was good last year. …Thomas (Brown) and Knowshon were constantly competing in practice for that playing time in games.”

Moreno will get some contact work this spring, but Richt isn’t sure how much after a breakout redshirt freshman season in which Moreno rushed for 1,334 yards and was a first-team All-SEC pick.

“Knowshon doesn’t have a lot to prove to us but he also is a part of this team and he needs to be working like the rest of the guys which he likes to do,” Richt said. “He loves to compete. We’re going to have to be pulling him out of drills because he really does enjoy the competition phase of this whole thing.”
