Athens — In a word, coach Mark Richt was disgusted with the Bulldogs' performance in Wednesday's practice, the last in full pads before G-Day.

"I just witnessed the worst practice of the spring," Richt said. "It was disappointing. Last day in pads, last day to get in some really good fundamental work, and I thought the guys weren't too interested in being out there and it showed. . . .

"It was half-hearted at best. It was almost like they were looking around and waiting for me to cancel practice. If not for the four-hour rule, I would have started the whole thing over."

If nothing else, the Bulldogs ran into each other a lot. The middle part of the hour-and-a-half workout was their infamous "spider drill," which features a lot of three-on-three contact. The players felt it.

"Until [fall] camp comes around, I think that was the most intense we'll be," linebacker Darryl Gamble said.
