30-game starting streak in jeopardy

ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia quarterback Quincy Carter, bothered by a sore left shoulder, wasn't able to practice with the team Wednesday but did manage some light throwing on the side.

Coach Jim Donnan said Carter is still doubtful for Saturday's game at Kentucky. Sophomore Cory Phillips directed the first-team offense for the No. 12 Bulldogs.

"Cory has had a good week running our attack. He seems relaxed," Donnan said. "It will be an adjustment for him in the game, but he'll be ready to go."

Carter, who has started 30 straight games for Georgia (5-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference), was hurt in the fourth quarter of a victory over Vanderbilt last weekend.

Donnan said sophomore running back DeJuan Green (turf toe) won't play against Kentucky. The Bulldogs already knew they would be without running back Musa Smith and defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan, who underwent knee surgeries on Tuesday.

During a 90-minute workout in full pads, Georgia also focused on its rush. Both Kentucky and next week's opponent, No. 7 Florida, are pass-oriented teams.

"We need to get more pressure on the quarterback," Donnan said, "especially the next few weeks."
