Though it hasn’t quite felt like spring outside, spring practice is finally here. The Georgia Bulldogs are over a week into their spring drills and workouts, and just a few weeks away from their annual G-Day game, where fans will finally get a comprehensive look at the team.
Georgia was very competitive in 2010, but they sure weren’t good at winning. The team went 6-7, and many were very critical of coach Mark Richt until he pulled out the stops with his best recruiting class to date.
But this spring isn’t about recruiting. It’s about the guys who are already in Athens. Sure, having sprinkles of heavily talented freshman is nice, but if Georgia is going to turn things around (and possibly save Richt’s job) it will be up to the upperclassmen to decide most of the fate.
The transition into the new 3-4 defense has continued to be a glorified game of musical chairs, with players switching and adding in left and right, and the offense has some serious holes to fill (or open up, if you will).
Here’s a look at the top position battles that will be fought this spring.
