ATHENS — Kirby Smart said Branson Robinson’s season-ending injury won’t affect the Georgia offensive plan of attack, but there is a ripple affect in the program.

Smart had to know at the time that Daijun Edwards was dealing with what has been reported as a sprained knee, indicating Edwards’ injury is not of the long-term variety.
