PHOTOS: Georgia takes to Sanford Stadium for first scrimmage
Georgia Football is in the thick of things with its spring practice. The Bulldogs held their first scrimmage on Saturday to wrap up Week 3. They get underway with Week 4 today – hosting another scrimmage this coming weekend – before things come to a conclusion next Saturday, April 15th with the annual G-Day spring game (4:00 p.m. ET, ESPN2).
Kirby Smart wasn’t all too pleased with the performance he saw from his team on Saturday, but at the same time, it’s similar to things he’s seen from championship teams before in their first scrimmage: poor tackling, missed assignments, etc. So, no reason to worry Georgia fans!

“First scrimmage today. I think this is my eighth Spring here. It seems to be the same every time. We don’t tackle well. We’re a little lackadaisical. Probably more penalties than I am used to having on the first scrimmage. Administrative penalties, signals getting in, delay of game, communication, things that you shouldn’t have but we typically have in the first scrimmage. I was proud of guys for pushing through,” Smart said. “We had rain this morning. The field was a little damp, but they competed. It’s hard to talk about individuals because I like to watch the tape. Over nine practices I’m pretty pleased with the effort. I keep thinking defensively we should be ahead of where we are. We are probably not where we need to be in terms of that. We played really physical up front on the offensive line. We got some guys dinged up that have been out, but we have some young guys that are coming along and picking things up. The good news in, those 21 freshmen, new guys, whatever you want to say, they are going to be a lot closer to being ready the next time we have a scrimmage No. 1 in the Fall. I’m excited about where they are going to be, but maybe not where they are.”
