The University of Georgia football team continued to fine tune its game plan for facing Texas A&M in the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl by conducting a two hour practice Saturday morning at the Woodruff Practice Fields.Saturday's workout marked the fifth of eight bowl practice days in Athens. The Bulldogs will practice each of the next three days in the Classic City before holding a travel day on Dec. 23 and reconvening in Shreveport, La., on Dec. 24.
"Much better weather today," Georgia head coach Mark Richt said of the Bulldogs' practice with temperatures in the mid to upper 40's compared to colder and rainy weather on Friday. "I know the guys enjoyed some sunshine. It was still a little breezy out there."
Georgia's original practiced schedule featured two practices for Saturday, but a decision was made earlier in the week to combined the two into one.
"Today was a day that we were going to go two-a-days," Richt stated. "We were going to spend the first practice on special teams and the second practice on offensive-defensive but decided to combine the two into one longer practice to get on the road the last day that coaches get on the road before a quiet period tomorrow. The dead period starts Monday. They had to grind it out a little bit, but they did a good job."
Richt also noted that the scout team has showed improved play and tempo and is being lined up by student assistants Jonathan DeLay and Stephen Crowson. Richt went on to discuss Texas A&M's offense compared to that of Auburn's.
"We hear that the tempo is even faster than what Auburn is doing,"
