Athens — Georgia's running game has been predicated on diversity the past three seasons.
No one knew who was going to get the ball when. There was supposed to a change of pace, an element of surprise to it all.

But the truth of the matter was the pace never reached breakneck speed. Georgia's running game plodded instead of plowed.

Once again, the Bulldogs enter camp Saturday with a stable of running backs. Thomas Brown is back and healthy after missing much of last season with a knee injury. Fellow senior Kregg Lumpkin is listed as the starter. Caleb King is the heralded recruit.
Then there's Knowshon Moreno. The redshirt freshman has never played a down for Georgia, yet has received more hype than the other three combined. Not hype from the fans, mind you, but from UGA's coaches.
"Knowshon Moreno, I know when you get to watch the kid practice every day and see what he does, it gets you excited," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said. "He is a very vibrant guy. He could be a gymnast.
"You can't hide his enthusiasm for life. He will light up his team with his energy level."
That is just what he does in the huddle. Apparently, according to Richt, Moreno can do quite a few things on the field as well.
"He will jump over a guy standing on his feet and score," Richt said of the former New Jersey high school player of the year. "He has got speed, power and agility. People have to respect his power."
Among other things. Opponents will also have to respect that agility Richt's so high on.
"If [the defense] sends a guy full-speed to try and get him, Knowshon will make them miss," Richt said.
Moreno is shifty. And, maybe more importantly, he can shift into another gear and run away from the defense.
Georgia coaches wanted to plug him into the lineup last season, but Moreno wasn't ready to handle the blocking schemes. The Bulldogs also had three other capable running backs until Brown went down with his knee injury.
Now Moreno is listed as the No. 2 running back behind Lumpkin. But he's the No. 1 choice for teammates when talking about who they're the most curious to see play.
Said center Fernando Velasco: "Everybody wants to see what he can do."
