Gurley unlikely to play against Arkansas

Athens, GA (SportsNetwork.com) – Georgia football coach Mark Richt doesn’t expect a change in star running back Todd Gurley’s status for Saturday’s game against Arkansas.

Gurley was suspended indefinitely last Thursday and missed the Bulldogs’ win at Missouri while the school conducts an investigation into a potential NCAA rules violation.

Richt said via Twitter on Thursday that “we will let you know if his status changes. Not anticipating it to change this week.”

Details of the investigation haven’t been made public, although reports have indicated it to revolve around Gurley possibly being paid for signing autographs and memorabilia.

Gurley was a top Heisman Trophy candidate after five games this season. The junior has 773 rushing yards with an average of 8.2 yards per carry and eight touchdowns. He also returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and has 11 catches for 53 yards.
