As many of you DAWG fans may know, the University of Georgia football season officially starts this weekend with a match against Louisiana-Lafayette. Seeing as how Georgia has gone undefeated in it’s last 13 season openers, hopes are high for this one as well.

The dawgs geared up on Monday, practicing in pads instead of just shorts, treating it like a regular season Tuesday practice. The rest of this week will be full of dress rehersals, so their performance on Saturday will be in a peak position. Head coach Mark Richt is focused on getting the guys to work together fluidly, and solidly like a team, especially with so many changes to the roster made recently: “We’ve got to make sure the game plan is tight so that our young men know what to do,” Richt said. “We don’t want to try to trick anybody., The more they know, the more we can keep the tempo we want. … We want to have it down so that we can execute what we want to do and be able to go with great tempo and be physical and disciplined.” (Georgiadogs.com)

Here’s hoping that the rest of this week will prove fruitful for the boys and will give the Bulldog Nation something to be proud of this Saturday. Kick off is at 12:21 pm EST, and it will be televised on the SEC Network.

It’s time to tee it up between the hedges!
