Former Georgia coach and athletic director Vince Dooley said RB Isaiah Crowell getting arrested and kicked off the team may turn out to be a blessing in disguise, according to a newspaper report. "I don't want to put any pressure on them, but losing that guy may have been the best thing to happen to them.
It was a bad-apple type thing, if you ask me. " Vince Dooley, former Georgia coach and athletic director Crowell, a rising sophomore and former five-star recruit who was the Bulldogs' leading rusher last season, was dismissed by head coach Mark Richt after Crowell was arrested on felony weapons charges.
Crowell has since transferred to Alabama State, a Football Championship Subdivision-level program in Montgomery, Ala., and started classes Monday. Crowell will be eligible to play this season, instead of sitting out the required year if he transferred to another Football Bowl Subdivision school.
