10/08/07 - The extent of Georgia's loss to Tennessee on Saturday wasn't limited to positioning in the SEC East race. The Bulldogs also lost one of their most significant emotional leaders for at least the next month. Georgia coach Mark Richt said on his Sunday teleconference that senior tailback Thomas Brown is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks after breaking his collarbone. 'It's a shame. He's probably the toughest guy on our football team,' Richt said. 'I know he'd play with it... . He's just that tough. He would go anyway, but we can't take that risk.' Brown had been one of the team's most inspirational stories this year, returning from a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered midway through last season to be one of the most productive backs in the league. Entering the Tennessee game, he ranked 10th in the SEC in rushing with 393 yards and led all conference running backs with eight touchdowns. But he left Saturday's game in the second quarter after carrying six times for 20 yards and further injuring a left shoulder he first injured on a touchdown run last week against Ole Miss. It was against the Rebels that Brown had the best game of his career, rushing for 180 yards and scoring three touchdowns. Brown's absence will also be a devastating blow to Georgia's special teams. He was the Bulldogs' kickoff return man and deep safety on the kickoff coverage team. Brown also served as a gunner on the punt team -- one of the players who line up wide and sprint down the field to cover a punt returner. 'He's probably one of the best gunners in the country,' Richt said. - Ledger Enquirer
10/01/07 - RB Thomas Brown injured his shoulder diving into the end zone on his 50-yard touchdown run in the first half. He returned and played well in the second half.
10/01/07 - Ole Missed tied the score 17-17 in the third quarter, before Georgia scored 28 unanswered points. Thomas Brown scored two of his three touchdowns in the second half and finished with a career-high 180 yards rushing. "He (Thomas Brown) played big. He finally broke out into space and made some big runs," said Georgia coach Mark Richt. "He made safeties miss, which we've been harping on for everybody. He had 180 yards and three touchdowns and he averaged 11.2 per carry. That's just a beautiful job. But you don't get that many yards unless the line plays very well. The majority of those runs are because of those in front of him paving the way. I am very happy for our senior leader Thomas Brown." The Bulldogs finished with a season-high 328 yards rushing and hope to continue that attack when they head to Tennessee on Saturday.
10/01/07 - GAME BALL GOES TO: RB Thomas Brown overcame a bruised shoulder to rush for a career-high 180 yards and three touchdowns, including a 50-yard burst in the first half.
