With the UGA offense ailing, the burden's on the D
With five games gone, Georgia has lost its best wide receiver, its fastest wide receiver and its second-best tailback for the season to knee injuries. Its best tailback -- the best in the nation, actually -- just missed a game with a sprained ankle and isn't a certainty to play ...

Braves' Teheran set for crucial Game 3
LOS ANGELES – At this time last year Julio Teheran was 21 years old and coming off a wholly disappointing second season at Triple-A Gwinnett, where he’d gone 7-9 while posting a 5.08 ERA, which seemed almost incomprehensible for an uninjured young guy who’d previously been rated one of the ...
Some things gleaned from open scrimmage
Here is an abbreviated version of my story from the Hawks open scrimmage to give you an idea of some of the takeaways. * The Hawks are going to run and spread the floor. Coach Mike Budenholzer has preached movement, both ball and people, during camp. “There was some sloppiness ...
Recapping Georgia State's loss to Alabama, and what would you do next?
Recapping Georgia State’s 45-3 loss to Alabama: What did I learn from this game? Not much about the Panthers, other than “execution” continues to be used as a reason why Georgia State doesn’t play consistently well. Alabama really didn’t do anything complicated on offense: power running up the middle, play-action ...

4 takeaways from Tech-Miami
1. In his post-game radio interview, coach Paul Johnson made the statement that “we would have needed to play near-perfect and not make mistakes (to win). Right now, we’re not good enough to do that.” That says a lot right there. Miami is better. Virginia Tech is better. It’s hard ...

I’m here to chronicle today’s football competition between the No. 6-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (3-1, 2-0 SEC) and the unranked Tennessee Volunteers.
