I hope LSU rips their legs off! In a figurative sense, of course. =-) Oliver

This week's: How will the young, injury-depleted line hold up against LSU's much more experienced defensive front? "When you look at it on paper," Georgia coach Mark Richt said Tuesday, "it is pretty scary, to say the least." Richt noted that LSU has five seniors, two juniors and one sophomore among its top eight defensive linemen, while Georgia starts three freshmen and two sophomores on its offensive line. "Their youngest guy matches our oldest when it's their D-line vs. our O-line," Richt said. Saturday's game at LSU poses the latest challenge for a Georgia offensive line that lost its best player, left tackle Trinton Sturdivant, to a season-ending knee injury in August. The group has gone through four different starting lineups, the latest necessitated by an Oct. 11 knee injury that ended tackle Vince Vance's season. Richt and others have praised the line's recent progress. But the challenge the group faces from LSU will be "very similar," Richt said, to that posed by Alabama in Georgia's lone loss. "Every week is a challenge for those guys, really and truly," Richt said. "They're still feeling their way around a little bit. "But I like the way they've been playing. I don't think they feel like they're rookies any more. They've played enough where they're not nervous coming into a game." Georgia plans to start the same group as last week vs. Vanderbilt: sophomore Clint Boling at left tackle, freshman Cordy Glenn at left guard, freshman Ben Jones at center, redshirt sophomore Chris Davis at right guard and redshirt freshman Justin Anderson at right tackle. None of the offensive linemen were available for comment Tuesday. With a few exceptions, the group has declined interview requests all season. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
