COLUMBIA, MO. ? Georgia will be without Alec Ogletree, Bacarri Rambo and two other defensive starters when they play Missouri on Saturday at Faurot Field.
None of the players were among the 70 that traveled to Holiday Inn Executive Center just off of I-70 in Columbia on Friday night. Neither Ogletree, the starting ?Mo? linebacker, nor Rambo, an All-American free safety, played it last week?s opener against Buffalo either. Georgia has never confirmed that the players are suspended, but Rambo?s high school coach said last March both would be out four games for a second violation of UGA?s marijuana-use policy.
Commings, a starting cornerback, and Vasser, a starting outside linebacker, were each suspended for two games due to offseason arrests. Georgia announced their discipline because their indiscretions were public matters. The Bulldogs consider Ogletree and Rambo?s situations internal.
That means the Bulldogs will be without four defensive starters as they face Missouri?s high-powered spread offense Saturday night at Faurot Field. Cornerback Malcolm Mitchell, who moved from offense to replace Commings at boundary corner, missed last week?s game with an ankle injury but was able to practice this week and is expected to start.
Richt tackle John Theus (ankle) also made the trip and appears ready to play. He had to leave the Buffalo game in the fourth quarter and was unable to practice until Wednesday

OK they are not on the plane.
They will not play.
Franklin is going to run rampant in Georgia backfield .
Go Points !
