FILE - Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh (6) is tackled by Kentucky defensive back Zion Childress (11) during the second half of an NCAA college football game in Lexington, Ky., on Nov. 19, 2022. Georgia has won with balance and depth at skill positions, including running back where the lead guy is McIntosh but his numbers are very close to Daijun Edwards, and Kendall Milton and Brian Robinson get carries as well. Coach Kirby Smart says this balance was designed to keep his backs fresh for this point of the season. (AP Photo/Michael Clubb, File)
