Malcome to play?

The redshirt might be coming off Ken Malcome.

The freshman tailback has dressed for every game and made all three road trips. He has yet to play, but on head coach Mark Richt's radio show Monday night, Richt discussed Malcome playing.

"There's a good chance that that happens," Richt said, adding that it was partly because of “the situation Caleb has gotten himself into.”

That comes on the heels of starting tailback Caleb King's arrest. No punishment has been announced for King.

“We’ve just going to do what we feel like is the right thing to do,” Richt said when asked on his show about King’s status. “The bottom line is we’ve got to make sure everybody is taking care of business.”

Carlton Thomas sat out the Tennessee game with a hamstring injury, so if King is suspended the Bulldogs may need Malcome.

Malcome said he could see the benefits of sitting out this entire season, or getting some playing experience, even this late in the juncture.

“I don’t know what the deal is,” Malcome said. “I’m just gonna practice every day, and if my name gets called, I’m gonna give everything I can.”
