According to coach Kirby Smart, Georgia cornerback Deandre Baker will not be playing in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
Smart told reporters that Baker would not be playing against Texas upon arrival in New Orleans. A projected Top 10 pick, Baker was originally slated to play in New Orleans.
However, the Jim Thorpe Award-winning cornerback was not at practice last Friday after flying home to Miami. Baker was thought to just be heading home early for the holidays but is out for the Sugar Bowl.
