Kickoff time is nearing for Friday afternoon’s Liberty Bowl between Georgia and Central Florida.
After that, it will be decision time for at least seven Bulldogs.
Receiver A.J. Green, tackle Trinton Sturdivant, guard Cordy Glenn, outside linebacker Justin Houston, cornerback Brandon Boykin, kicker Blair Walsh and punter Drew Butler each will decide after the bowl whether or not to bypass his senior season for a chance at the NFL. These players have been asked, some almost daily, about their impending choices and insist they are focused on Friday.
“For me, it’s really not that difficult,” Boykin said Wednesday. “When I have a task at hand, I’m able to put off whatever else there is and focus on what I need to, and I think that’s what everybody is doing right now. There is really nothing we can do about the decisions we have to make, because we don’t really have enough knowledge of it right now.
“A lot of people have sent their paperwork [to the NFL Draft Advisory Board] and haven’t heard back yet, so there is nothing we can do but focus on this game.”
