2020 CFB countdown: 63 days until Georgia Football

Join us as we count down the days until Georgia kicks-off in Atlanta!

There are 63 days until Georgia football kicks-off versus Virginia in Atlanta on Sept. 7.

Flash-back to Georgia versus Buffalo in 2012 – Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray finds receiver Tavarres King for a 63-yard touchdown to put the Bulldogs up 23-6 in the second quarter.

Watch it here:

It was the No. 6 Bulldogs’ first game of the season, as well as the first time Georgia star running back Todd Gurley suited up between the hedges. Gurley shined and Georgia would go on to win against Buffalo 45-23.

Here’s the moment we knew TG3 was special….

Georgia football 5-star QB commit Brock Vandagriff shines on first day of Elite 11 competition

The 22nd annual Elite 11 quarterback competition began Monday and Georgia football commit Brock Vandagriff looks the part so far.

On Monday, 20 of the top- high school quarterbacks in the nation arrived in Nashville for the first day of competition at the 22nd annual Elite 11 finals.

Among those competing is Georgia football commit Brock Vandagriff, a 5-star quarterback from Bogart, Georgia. Vandagriff is rated as the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the 2021 recruiting class.

247Sports spoke with Elite 11 head coach Trent Dilfer about his thoughts after day one and it seems Vandagriff is matching the high expectations so far.

“Vandagriff is awesome,” Dilfer stated. “He’s another one of those kids that makes everything look easy. His tape matches what you see in person. It’s impossible not to put the other stuff out of your mind when you’re watching him, he plays six weeks after he shatters his ankle with screws in his ankle and scores six touchdowns. He’s not a camp guy, you can see he’s a football player at a camp. He’s consistent.”

Vandagriff isn’t the only Georgia quarterback in Nashville. Wake Forest transfer quarterback Jamie Newman is also representing the Bulldogs as a counselor.

Notable former UGA quarterbacks that have participated in the competition are D.J. Shockley, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Murray, Jacob Eason and Jake Fromm – not a bad list to follow if you’re Vandagriff.

It’s Tuesday, June 30 and today’s play of the day comes from Georgia at Colorado on October 3, 2010.

McClendon (6-4, 320)  should be competing with junior Jamaree Sayler for the starting right tackle position this summer. The Brunswick, Georgia native was rated as a 4-star prospect and the No. 22 offensive tackle in the 2019 recruiting class.

Georgia basketball star Anthony Edwards joins Lebron James, signs with Klutch Sports Group

Per Klutch Sports Group’s Twitter account, Georgia basketball star Anthony Edwards has signed with the agency who also represents Lebron.

Former Georgia basketball star, 2019-20 SEC Freshman of the Year Anthony Edwards, has signed with Klutch Sports Group, according to their Twitter.

Klutch Sports Group is a sports agency founded by Rich Paul – known most famously as agent to NBA superstar Lebron James – and has been in the news most recently for the signing of Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young and now Edwards, the potential No. 1 pick of this year’s NBA Draft.

Rich Paul and Klutch Sports Group also represents NBA players like Anthony Davis, John Wall, Ben Simmons and Draymond Green with Edwards now being the youngest athlete signed.

Edwards was a one-and-done at Georgia. In 2019, he was the nation’s leading freshman scorer at 19.1 ppg and was named second-team All-SEC by both the coaches and the AP.

DawgNation, mark your calendars for October 16, as Edwards looks to become the first Bulldog drafted No. 1 overall in the NBA Draft.

Ohio State is expected to have one whale of a college football season in 2020? Where does 247Sports have the Buckeyes going bowling?

With it, we are bound to see more and more predictions and projections on everything from Heisman winners to breakout players. Part of that mix includes predictions on which teams will go to what bowl games.

As an Ohio State fan, if you are reading this, I’m sure you are interested in where most of the main players in the media are expecting the Buckeyes to go, and we have one such example for you. The 247Sports 2020 college football bowl projections have been released, and you will most likely enjoy where OSU is pegged to go according to Brad Crawford.

Brian Kelly Addresses Issues in Media Roundtable

Fresh off Monday night’s SportsCenter appearance with Scott Van Pelt, Brian Kelly continued to speak make the rounds Tuesday.

Fresh off Monday night’s SportsCenter appearance with Scott Van Pelt, Brian Kelly continued to speak make the rounds Tuesday. It started when he was interviewed by Mike Tirico. After that, he was the center of a virtual roundtable that hosted multiple media members. Irish Illustrated broke down some of the main points he made.

Unsurprisingly, the meat of the conversation revolved around how Notre Dame’s past, present and future has been affected by COVID-19. Testing players, not having recruits visit this spring and what this all means for training camp all were addressed. As for players and parents who are concerned about coming back to campus, Kelly said no program activities are mandatory, but openness and honesty are required.

Kelly also talked a little about how the recent racial issues that have been raised have allowed for dialogue among everyone in the program. Additionally, players having trouble with things like racial and mental issues have access to mental health specialists, and they’ve taken advantage of that during the pandemic. This is a time when everyone needs all the support they can get, perhaps now more than ever.

Kelly has a duty to keep his team sharp. When many experts are predicting the 2020 Irish will make some noise in the national championship race, no stone can be left unturned. He has no problem letting the media know that, so cool your jets if you’ve felt uneasy about how he might be handling all of this.

247Sports Bowl Predictions – Notre Dame to meet recent foe again?

247Sports released their pre-season bowl projections for college football. If you could, would you sign up for where they project ND to go?

247Sports released their pre-season bowl projections this week and have Notre Dame completing a good but not great season as they project the Fighting Irish to meet Georgia in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.

Their write-up doesn’t give any detail of how Notre Dame gets there but one can assume it’d be a 10-2 record that does the trick.  One would assume 11-1 with both Wisconsin, Clemson and a trip to USC on the schedule would have them making a great case to be included in the College Football Playoff, while a 9-3 mark or worse wouldn’t have them in the New Years Six.

Would you be satisfied with this as the end result for Notre Dame football in 2020?

I know every coach and player will state that the mission and goal is to win a national championship and fans certainly want the same.  However, when you look at the defensive line, secondary, wide receivers and running backs you see there are at best questions and at worst issues at several positions on the current roster.

If I made the offer today that you can sign up to have Notre Dame go 10-2 and play in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl do you take that offer or do you think something better is coming?

As I said when I predicted each game of the season a couple weeks back, I think 10-2 is the most likely scenario as we sit here today.  So in my case, no, I wouldn’t sign because I don’t expect worse than that and I’d take my chances on Notre Dame getting a win over either Wisconsin or Clemson before I’d expect a third regular season loss.
