Regarding that Georgia period they’ve initiated in practice, I may have to dial the Michigan mockery back. This is pretty flattering.
The Bulldogs have firmly established themselves as college football’s best, prompting Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh to implement a ‘Beat Georgia’ drill during the team’s practices this offseason.
“In order to be the guy, you’ve got to beat the guy,” Michigan senior defensive tackle Kris Jenkins said at Big Ten Media Days on Thursday. “In order to get to that point, we have to be able to build emphasis on places where we’ve lacked in the past. That continues to be building ourselves up and continuing to work on different things.”
The drill, which became news in June, consists of intense work in the trenches on both sides of the ball, according to Harbaugh.
“The emphasis is stopping the run and being able to run the ball when the other team knows you’re going to run the ball,” Harbaugh said on Thursday. “That’s what I really respect about that team — their ability to run the ball when the other team knows they’re running the ball.”
… Harbaugh will look to lead his team back to the College Football Playoff for a third consecutive season, where it figures to meet Georgia.
“Georgia is at the top right now,” Corum said on Thursday. “And if we want to be at the top, we’ve got to beat them. So, just implementing a Georgia drill, just keeping that in the back of our mind… just reminding us that, ‘hey, we’ve got more work to do.'”
Rat poison? I dunno. But it’s definitely not bulletin board material for Georgia’s offseason.
