Behind Enemy Lines Notes (Georgia/Terry)
Kirby Smart on Trevor Etienne, Christian Miller, and Joenel Aguero
- Smart did not offer much perspective on the status of running back Trevor Etienne (ribs) and defensive lineman Christen Miller (shoulder) after each was listed as questionable on Wednesday’s availability report for the SEC Championship.
- Etienne has not played since Georgia’s 28-10 loss at Ole Miss, while Miller missed last week’s game against Georgia Tech after suffering what’s been described as a dislocation to the shoulder against UMass.
“They've been taking part in some parts of practice, taking reps,” Smart said during a Thursday Zoom session to preview Saturday’s SEC Championship. “Hopefully those guys are able to do something. They're both listed as questionable right now.”
- Smart also had an update on Star Joenel Aguero who has not played since the Ole Miss game after undergoing surgery to repair a finger injury. “He’s had to have surgery and a pin put in. He's been trying to practice and play with a club. It's been tremendously tough for him to be able to do that,” Smart said. “But he’s out of the club now and in a much better position to be able to practice and play. He's practiced each week and stayed with us. It's just been tougher, as you can imagine, playing with the use of really one hand. He's back now and able to do a lot more this week. Hopeful that he can help us.”
- Aguero had 5 tackles and 0.5 TFL against Texas on October 19th
- Etienne had 19 carries 87 yards and 3 rushing TDs against Texas on October 19th
- Miller had 2 tackles against Texas on October 19th
Kirby Smart on having Smael Mondon in this game against Texas
- “Well, he provides depth. That's not a position that I think you can go out and play every snap. Inside linebacker, it's a conditioning position where you have to rotate and play guys,” Smart said. “But he's given us the flexibility to play multiple packages. His coming back has made us a little deeper, not have to play as many snaps with the other guys. He's allowed Jalon (Walker) to do more things, take a little bit of the inside backer off Jalon. Those are all key opponents to the success of our defense.”

Justus Terry signing at 11 am CT on Friday, December 6th
- There is a strong belief on the Georgia side that Terry is all but a lock in the 2025 class. A place he was already committed to once and a place that has done a great job In-state with 5-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson and 5-star DT Elijah Griffin already committed, Terry would complete the trifecta for Georgia
- There are reports coming from the Terry camp, that his family would prefer Justus Terry to stay closer to home. Manchester, GA is 4hr 20 minutes flight to Austin, 2hr 45 minute drive from Athens, 1hr 15 minute drive from Auburn.
