The No. 5 Dawgs (3-0, 1-0 SEC) practiced in full pads for slightly more than two hours on Tuesday afternoon in Athens, the most physically demanding day in their preparations for this Saturday’s game with Vanderbilt (1-2, 0-1 SEC) at Sanford Stadium.
After campus endured a sputtering rain throughout the day, the weather cleared shortly after the workout began and provided for nearly perfect conditions.
“We had plan A and plan B, and we didn’t expect to get to plan B,” coach Mark Richt said. “Low and behold the skies opened up and it was beautiful day. The players can’t quite understand why it can rain all day and then dry up during practice, but that’s how it goes here in Athens.”
The Dawgs’ daily injury update included 10 players. Listed as limited were linebacker Jarvis Jones, defensive end Cornelius Washington and receiver Rantavious Wooten. The following players were listed as “limited, no contact”: receiver Taylor Bradberry, offensive lineman Watts Dantzler, linebacker Josh Dawson, offensive lineman Dallas Lee and snapper Nathan Theus. Both offensive lineman Hunter Long and tight end Cole Trolinger were held out of practice altogether.
The Dawgs and Commodores will kickoff at 7:50 on Saturday evening, with ESPN2 televising the matchup nationally.
