ATHENS -- Georgia star freshman Isaiah Crowell and two other tailbacks are suspended for Saturday's game against New Mexico State, the school confirmed this afternoon, leaving the Bulldogs with two former walk-ons available at the position.
Crowell, Carlton Thomas and Ken Malcome are suspended for one game for a "violation of team policies," the school said in a statement released this afternoon.
Second-leading rusher Richard Samuel is already out a minimum of four weeks after undergoing surgery on his left ankle this morning, according to coach Mark Richt.
That leaves redshirt sophomore Brandon Harton and senior Wes Van Dyk as tailbacks available. Both are former walk-ons. Harton has rushed for 33 yards on 11 carries, all against Coastal Carolina. Van Dyk had one carry for one yard also in that game.
Richt did not mention the impending suspensions when he held his regular noon news conference today. He answered questions about the backup tailbacks with brief answers.
Crowell is fifth in the SEC with 689 rushing yards. Samuel has 240 yards rushing and Thomas 200.
