Second half notes and observations from UGA football’s spring game

Second half notes and observations from UGA football’s spring game, G-Day.

The second half of G-Day was another taste of football on a nice day at Sanford Stadium.

Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Dan Jackson intercepted Carson Beck to begin the second half of the G-Day spring game.

The Black Team recorded a fourth sack early in the first half.

JT Daniels continues to look comfortable and threw another touchdown pass to Kearis Jackson. A 40 yard pass on a wheel route to James Cook helped put Daniels and the offense in scoring position.

Punter Jake Camarda has had an impressive performance punting the football on G-Day. He has had multiple booming punts. There was no punt rush, so it is an ideal situation for punters.

Lewis Cine intercepted Stetson Bennett in the fourth quarter on a wheel route passing attempt. Zion Logue has continued to have a good game. He recorded a sack and recovered a fumble in the first half.

Offensive lines have been losing the battle at the line of scrimmage. Quarterbacks can’t move around as much because if they are touched, then it is considered a sack.

Adonai Mitchell has topped 100 yards on the day. He and JT Daniels has a good connection that will be important for the regular season.

Carson Beck and Darnell Washington connected for a late fourth quarter touchdown. Washington has looked impressive and should be the team’s top tight receiving tight end. Carson Beck looked sharp in the two minute drill.

Darnell Washington had a 50 plus yard reception in the first half. He ran over defensive back Dan Jackson in the process. Carson Beck, who is the quarterback for the Black Team and the team’s No. 2 quarterback threw an accurate pass to Washington along the sideline.

Beck has displayed a quick release and good footwork throughout the game.

Kendall Milton, who has shown good burst, rushed for an eight yard touchdown. Milton has impressed in spring practice.

Quarterback Brock Vandagriff bobbled a snap and lost it to Zion Logue, who recovered the fumble for the Red Team.

The Red Team tied up the scoring at seven each with a two yard touchdown run from Zamir White. A 29 yard pass connection between Stetson Bennett and Kearis Jackson set up the score.

Jake Camarda isn’t taking Jack Podlesny’s job anytime soon. That’s okay, but Camarda did miss a pair of first half field goal attempts (both over 40 yards). Podlesny made a 35 yard kick to make the score 10-7.

JT Daniels and the Red Team helped put Camarda in field goal range to open the game. The Red Team offensive line struggled against the Black Team defense, which featured good performances from Nolan Smith, Travon Walker, and others.

Adonai Mitchell recorded five catches for 80 yards and a touchdown in the first half and showed good chemistry with JT Daniels after failing to haul in his first couple of targets. Daniels hooked up with Mitchell for a touchdown to cap an impressive two-minute drill drive.

How to watch Georgia’s G-Day spring game

Georgia Bulldogs fans can watch the Dawgs play in G-Day spring game at 2 p.m. on TV’s SEC Network+.

G-Day is finally here for Georgia Bulldogs fans! The G-Day spring game will give fans with access to SEC Network+ an opportunity to watch the Dawgs on TV for the first time since the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Sanford Stadium. Many Bulldog fans won’t be happy that the contest is on SEC Network+ because it requires additional steps for those who are unfamiliar with the platform.

The G-Day game will be televised on SEC Network+, which can be accessed via the ESPN app, but you will need a TV or cable provider log in to access the game. SEC Network+ is a separate station from the SEC Network. Click here to access the game via Watch ESPN (cable log in required).

The 2019 edition of G-Day lasted about two hours. We’d suggest watching the start of the game, since that’s when the starters like JT Daniels will play the most.

The best course of action for around 20,000 fans is to sit in their seats at Sanford Stadium. Most fans aren’t lucky enough to be attending the game, but would like to get a peep of the Georgia Bulldogs before they open the season against the Clemson Tigers.

Tom Hart, Jordan Rodgers and Cole Cubelic will call the game on SEC Network+. The spring scrimmage will also be carried on much of the Georgia Bulldogs Sports Network from IMG with Scott Howard and Eric Zeier announcing the Dawgs in action.

Key Georgia football players to watch in G-Day

The Georgia Bulldogs will host their first G-Day spring scrimmage in two years on Saturday

The Georgia Bulldogs will host their first G-Day spring scrimmage in two years on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m.

Over the years, players like Eric Stokes, Jake Fromm, Jacob Eason, and more have performed well in the G-Day game. Will Georgia have any breakout performances?

This season, the focus will be on one positional battle: defensive backs versus wide receivers. Georgia was set at wide receiver this offseason before the Dawgs lost their No. 1 receiver in George Pickens.

Defensively, Georgia is replacing almost the entire secondary. Christopher Smith and Lewis Cine will give the Dawgs some continuity at safety, but there will be a lot of fresh faces at cornerback.

Who will be the most interesting and important players to watch on G-Day?

G-Day information: Georgia football’s spring game

Georgia Bulldogs football returns for the G-Day spring game. Georgia will scrimmage on April 17.

Football is back for Georgia Bulldogs fans! The G-Day spring game provides only a taste of Georgia football action, but at this point in the offseason we’ll take it.

Georgia Bulldogs fans will get to see highly ranked recruits Brock Vandagriff, Lovasea Carroll, Amarius Mims and more for the first time in Sanford Stadium.

Here’s some important information to know for G-Day per Georgia football’s official website:

University of Georgia football fans will get their first glimpse of the 2021 Bulldogs on Saturday, April 17, when the Red team faces the Black team at the annual G-Day intrasquad game, presented by Atlanta BMW and Piedmont Healthcare on Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m.

All tickets to the G-Day game have been sold. Like last season, attendance at G-Day will be limited to approximately 20-25 percent of full capacity at Sanford Stadium. Attendance at Georgia’s three home games in the 2020 season was listed at 20,524. Seating will be reserved and in groups intended to maximize social distancing.

Stadium gates will open at 12 p.m. and the Dawg Walk will commence in the Tate Center parking lot at 12:55 p.m.

Last season the UGA Athletic Association enacted a number of game-day policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these policies will remain in place for the G-Day game.

Before the game, fans are not allowed to tailgate on campus for G-Day. Fans can tailgate nearby in their cars. Fans are encouraged to social distance from people who they will not be sitting with.

The G-Day game will be televised on SEC Network+, which can be accessed via the ESPN app, but you will need a TV or cable provider log in to access the game. SEC Network+ is a separate station from the SEC Network.

Tom Hart, Jordan Rodgers and Cole Cubelic will announce the game on SEC Network+. The spring scrimmage will also be carried on much of the Georgia Bulldogs Sports Network from IMG with Scott Howard and Eric Zeier calling the action.

It is great to see Georgia return to hosting a traditional G-Day. The game is an excellent opportunity for student athletes to compete and gain valuable experience.

It was sad, but necessary that last year’s G-Day was cancelled. Hopefully the 2021 G-Day can begin a new long streak of consecutive spring football games for the University of Georgia. Georgia fans will get to see if the offense is ahead of the defense at this point in the offseason.
