Georgia Bulldogs

The Dawgs are looking for the promised land and sophomore quarterback Matthew Stafford is ready to carry the load for the team. After passing for 1,700 yards and 7 touchdowns a year ago, he is primed for a break out season. He has to cut back on interceptions after throwing 13 in his freshman year. He still has 2 great tailbacks to hand off to in Kregg Lumpkin and Thomas Brown. Both seniors returned for their last year in Athens. Combined they rushed over 1,000 yards splitting time with departed player Danny Ware. Pounding the ball between the tackles will be junior fullback Brannan Southerland. Southerland led the team with 10 touchdowns and is making a strong push for All American honors. The receivers are back with lots of experience in juniors Mohamed Massaquoi and Kenneth Harris, along with seniors Sean Bailey and AJ Bryant. Massaquoi is the leading returner with 350 yards and 23 tds. The o-line returns 2 starters in center Fernando Velasco and tackle Chester Adams.

The defense only returns 3 starters from last year. Senior cornerback Paul Oliver leads the defense in to battle this year. Safety Kelin Johnson looks to strike fear into anyone coming across of him. The only other starter is Jeff Owens at the defensive tackle spot. At ends there are 2 new players in Jarius Wynn and Marcus Howard who have big shoes to fill after last season. All 3 linebackers from last year are gone. The group is young and looking to make people believe that they are young but very good.

When the Dawgs come out between the hedges they will look across at South Carolina, Auburn and Kentucky. While the Dawgs take trips to Alabama, Tennessee and end the year at Georgia Tech. Also the Dawgs wage war in Jacksonville against Florida in what might determine the SEC East.
