They’re not gonna be intimidated by the Georgia Bulldogs, They’re not gonna be intimidated coming Between the Hedges. We’re gonna have to earn their respect… We want to be the toughest mentally and toughest physical team in college football, That’s how we have been trying to train since January.

We’re probably the lightest team we’ve had since I’ve been at Georgia, which is a little bit of a concern when you play some of the bigger, heavier team that wanna hit you in the mouth but i think that we are in tremendous condition… When you’re in good shape you can play harder longer.

We’re in pretty good shape, a couple guys with Hammys (hamstring injuries) we’re trying to be careful with trying to make sure they are really read. You don’t want another setback. If you pull a hamstring a second time, it takes a toll on the kid psychologically and it tends to last a little longer the second time.

The guys coming off the knee surgeries, Jonathan Ledbetter and Tim Kimbrough. Reggie Carter’s shoulder is a little sore, I’m not sure if he’ll play this week or not. Right now though everybody seems to be extremely healthy.

If I can’t get from here to the media and be able to announce it without somebody tweeting it out, G.A.T.A, G- A- after his T- A-

Go Dawgs and God Bless!
