ATHENS -- University of Georgia junior tailback Caleb King has been handed a two-game suspension by Bulldog head coach Mark Richt following his Monday morning arrest on charges of failure to appear at a court date in Walton County to address a speeding ticket.
"I expect all our players to take care of their responsibilities on and off the field," said Richt. "When players don't do that it damages the reputation of the player, our team, and our university. My goal is for Caleb to learn a lesson and for other players to learn from his experience."
Georgia (2-4, 1-3 Southeastern Conference) will play host to Vanderbilt on Saturday at 12:21 p.m. The Dogs will travel to take on Kentucky on Oct. 23.
Washaun Ealey, who leads Georgia with 246 yards rushing, is expected to start at tailback.
King is Georgia's 11th player to be arrested this year.
