UGA blog finds new home

Morning all. As I’ve said a couple of times this week, we’re converting this blog over to a WordPress platform and it will be a permanent move the first of next week.

Those of you who are regulars probably know that I’m not what you’d call techno-wizard when it comes to these things. But from what I understand the technology offered in this new format should make the blogging and commenting experience better for all. Of course, I’ll be learning as we go along, too. But I’m hoping to provide more pictures and video and things like that which should bring the blog more to life.

Of course, this blog is nothing without all you guys so I want to heartily invite (read: beg) you to come over to the new site by CLICKING HERE ON THE NEW ADDRESS and save it in your browsers. As of Monday, Feb. 23rd, this will be the permanent home of the UGA blog you so love or, in the case of some of you, love to loathe. If you’d prefer to copy and paste or just memorize, the new address is: http://blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blog/.

See at the new place!

Brown, Ware must step up

While Georgia’s quarterbacks should take center stage this spring, the running back situation should also be closely watched. Kregg Lumpkin looked like the best back at the end of the season — and with a couple more months of healing under his belt — may just take over the No. 1 spot for good this spring.

It could become more interesting in the fall when Knowhson Moreno arrives. Whether he has the breakaway speed the Bulldogs so desperately need remains to be seen. But, while it is doubtful he will be a starter, there is no question he could push Thomas Brown for carries as the No. 2 back. That means Brown and Danny Ware may see their carries shrink if they do not step up their respective games.

Both might also want to hone their pass catching skills. Typically, with a young, inexperienced quarterback, there are a lot of dump passes to running backs. If either can prove they are valuable in this capacity, they’ll have a much better chance of getting on the field.
