This year promises to be a stern test for the Bulldog coaches. They are sailing into unchartered waters with what looks to be Joe T. at the helm. This presents a real test of Mark Richt's coaching and leadership. It will surely test his patience more than at anytime in his career at UGA. Don't get me wrong I'm sure that Tereshinski will give 100% on and off the field. I am just a little anxious about his prospects this year. I guess the last five years have spoiled me, but I got kind of use to being able to at least have an idea of what to expect from the upcoming season. Last year Shockley was new to the starting job, but most everyone knew what to expect. Joe T. on the other hand is a different story. His performance in Jacksonville last year does not bolster my confidence much either. I would probably feel a lot better if one Leonard Pope had returned. Having a huge target with a good set of hands would go a long way toward helping him relax. I think it is a safe bet that Brown, Ware, and Lumpkin had better be ready right from opening day. If last year's game against Florida is any indication, we may be about to witness a steady diet of the running game. We could possibly see more running in Athens, Ga. this year than at anytime since THE MAN was wearing silver britches. I hear that we have a couple of freshmen that are very exciting ...SIC~EM DAWGS |
