Enhanced coverage for G-Day this year
Chuck Dunlap, Communications Director for SEC Football, released this past day that ESPN would be doing some cool new firsts for UGA this G-Day:
ESPN is surrounding Georgia's Red & Black game with six additional commentators and a writer to shadow and participate as referees.

They will take fans inside prep meetings, referee positioning & roles, as well as make game calls.

SEC Coordinator of Football Officials Steve Shaw will serve as the game's "white hat" (head referee).

Shaw will be wired for TV audio and also wear a head cam for additional officiating viewpoints.

An additional stream will be available to fans who only want to view the 'hat cam' version of the game: https://t.co/Y2FuVuw4CB

These are some pretty awesome firsts that UGA is going to get to try out this year. Even if you can’t make it to Athens for the game, there should be plenty to watch. Also, there should be some amazing footage after the game to watch because ESPN will surely keep this game on it’s website for some time.
