How significant of a loss is WR Lawrence Cager for Georgia? Tim Tebow thinks it’s ‘drastic’

Georgia lost its best receiver during practice this week due to an injury.
Lawrence Cager has been the guy for the Bulldogs in the passing game, and now, his absence on the field will loom large, according to Tim Tebow.
Tebow joined SportsCenter Saturday morning to discuss the Bulldogs’ offense without Cager.
“I think it’s drastic,” Tebow said on SportsCenter. “The number one problem this year is they haven’t had receivers that can separate. They haven’t been able to do it in big-time games, and I think that’s really hurt the offense. They have a great offensive line. They have a great quarterback and running game, but they don’t have receivers who can win man-to-man coverage. And now, you’ve lost by far your best receiver in Cager. So, this is where someone is going to have to step up. If Georgia is going to win an SEC Championship and contend for a national championship, George Pickens, (Dominick) Blaylock and (Demetris) Robertson have to step up and be that guy. There’s still a chance for them because their defense is also one of the best in the country.”
Cager has caught a team-high 33 passes for 476 yards and four touchdowns. George Pickens, Dominick Blaylock and Demetris Robinson are all capable of stepping up. However, we also look for running back D’Andre Swift to become a bigger weapon on the passing game, too.
Georgia and Georgia Tech kickoff at 12:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
