Toliver started in place of Bobo against Charlotte, when Bobo was dealing with a hand injury. Toliver took over in for the second half of the Georgia Tech win, but the results weren’t inspiring. After rushing for 145 yards in the first half, Georgia had only 45 yards in the final 30 minutes. What’s more is that there were a number of high snaps that Stockton had to reach to grab.
Toliver has never started against an SEC opponent. If he plays against Alabama, it would be a significant step up in competition.
“Yeah, like I said the other day, he did some good things,” Smart said of Toliver. “He’s got to continue to work and improve on some others, but I was really glad he got to go in the Charlotte game and play as much as he did and get the experience of that time and continue to grow and get better.”
Toliver dealt with an ankle injury earlier in the season, which prevented him from getting valuable playing time against Marshall and Austin Peay. Toliver has played in Georgia’s last four games, all wins.
