So, after the post-spring break drug tests (I keed, I keed… I hope), what are you expecting to learn starting with tomorrow’s first practice?
A few things on my list:
- Life on offense after Bobo. How much is Schottenheimer really going to live up to Richt’s “if it ain’t broke” expectations?
- The quarterback battle. It’s clear there’s going to be one. How soon do any of this year’s candidates separate from the pack?
- Center. After all the stability Georgia has had at that position over the last several seasons, yeah, it’s a little nerve-wracking to know a new face will be manning the spot.
- Who’s the third wide receiver? Maybe I should be wondering about #2 as well, as Scott-Wesley never really showed much last year coming back from his injury. But assuming Georgia intends to continue with a heavy use of three wideout sets, Brian McClendon has to find the next guy.
- Jeremy Pruitt’s mad scientist act gets its second run. He’s got a challenge getting creative with making sure his three best defensive players, all outside linebackers, see the field as much as possible. But he’ll tinker again with the secondary, because… well, because that’s what he does. There’s also a lot of mixing and matching to do on the defensive line, a task that will certainly go into fall practice when some more key bodies arrive. And don’t forget replacing two starters at inside linebacker.
Whew! That’s enough for a start. When’s G-Day, anyway?
