Practice Report - Monday

The seventh-ranked Georgia football team began preparations for its third game of the season on Monday with a 60-minute workout in shorts on the Woodruff Practice Fields.

The Dawgs (2-0, 1-0 SEC) will entertain South Carolina (1-1, 0-1) on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Sanford Stadium. The game will be televised by ESPN.

“Not a bad day at all,” coach Mark Richt said. “We did a good job with our execution and I was happy to see that. We’ve got to get better every day with our practices. That’s the challenge – to get better each and every day.”
