Georgia's running back room will have to carry their weight in 2026

The Dukes & Bell podcast dives into Georgia's 2026 football outlook, focusing on the critical role of the running back room in carrying the offense. Hosts Mike and Carl discuss spring practice highlights, emphasizing the need for explosive plays from returning stars Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens, as well as the potential impact of transfer Dante Dattle from Kentucky. While Gunnar Stockton remains the projected starter, the depth and development of backups like Ryan Puglisi and Ryan Montgomery are being closely monitored. The offensive line, though returning key players, faces uncertainty with Drew Bobo’s recovery from foot surgery, raising questions about depth and readiness for the SEC opener. The discussion also touches on Georgia’s basketball program under Mike White, acknowledging recent roster losses but expressing cautious optimism about returning core players and the need for tournament success to unlock greater financial support. The hosts reflect on the program’s long-term trajectory, suggesting that on-field results—especially in March—will ultimately drive investment and growth.
