Coach Mark Richt set up the scrimmage to resemble an actual game as much as possible. There was a pre-game warm-up, coin toss, running game clock and coaches were situated in the press box. The scrimmage lasted 60 minutes.
"It felt like a game, I know I felt it in the locker room, during our pre-game routine and during the scrimmage," said Richt, who enters his 10th season as head coach of the Bulldogs.
Redshirt freshman Aaron Murray went 9-for-17 for 127 yards and one touchdown to junior A.J. Green, who caught 4 passes for 40 yards. Senior receiver Kris Durham had three catches of his own for 78 yards.
Defensive leaders included senior outside linebacker Darryl Gamble, who had eight tackles and two sacks. Senior cornerback Vance Cuff had six tackles and sophomore safety Bacarri Rambo housed a 66-yard interception for a touchdown.
Georiga captains for the season opener will be fullback Shaun Chapas on offense, Cuff and senior Demarcus Dobbs on defensive and senior fullback Fred Munzenmaier on special teams.
Georgia begins the 2010 season ranked #21 and #23 in the USA Today and AP polls, respectively, and is expected to be a dark horse contender in the SEC East.
