For the second consecutive season, Georgia will not face Auburn running back Kamryn Pettway.
Pettway missed last year’s game against the Bulldogs and is out indefinitely of the 2017 season due to a broken bone in his shoulder. That means the Tigers will lean on junior Kerryon Johnson to be their lead back in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.
Johnson, however, has been Auburn’s top back for a large chunk of this season. Pettway has dealt with numerous injuries all year, which thrust Johnson into a starting role. And Johnson has been a big reason for Auburn’s success on offense.
