The Georgia Bulldogs practiced for just under two hours in shoulder pads and shorts on Thursday afternoon, the 11th session of fall camp and the final one before their initial scrimmage on Friday at Sanford Stadium.

“We’ve gotten a lot of work in, and now it’s time to scrimmage and get an idea of what we’ve got,” head coach Mark Richt said. “We’ll look to see how far everybody has come. Also, we’ll see who’s ready to play and schematically the things that we’re good at and the things we might need to throw out.”

The Bulldogs’ freshman offensive players were available for interviews following Thursday’s workout and all asked seemed eager for Friday’s scrimmage.

“It’s always been cool driving by Sanford Stadium and going to the games,” lineman Sage Hardin said. “Finally, to be on the field and play football is going to be a dream come true. You’ve got to treat each day the same, though. You don’t just give tomorrow extra attention because you’re playing at Sanford Stadium. You have to address every day with a positive approach and try to get better in every single facet or try to pick out one thing you want to try to do better that day.”

While Hardin grew up a Georgia fan, wide receiver Michael Chigbu trekked from New Orleans to play for the Bulldogs.

“My teammates are helping make Georgia feel like home,” Chigbu said. “All the seniors have been really helpful with that.

“It will be a little different tomorrow,” he added. “There will be a little more competition and it will more up-tempo, and for me it’s a little bit more than practice. I have to give it my all.”
