Georgia’s spring football game today is a showcase for Bulldogs fans but not upcoming opponents.
The Red and Black teams were determined by a draft earlier this week, which has created more excitement than usual, but coach Mark Richt and his staff plan to keep things simple. The Bulldogs open the 2011 season against Boise State and South Carolina.
“I do not want our coaches to show anything new that might give Boise State or South Carolina a hint,” Richt said. “If it is a blitz we ran all last year, I don’t care if we run it. I’m just not excited about showing anything new.”
The G-Day game, which has a 1 p.m. kickoff and will be televised by CSS, will consist of 12-minute quarters and will not have returns on kickoffs or punts.
