None of the greatest moments in University of Georgia football history ever took place during the G-Day spring football game, but it’s still a salve for the thousands and thousands of Bulldog fans who are ready to turn the page to a hopefully more enjoyable 2014 season. All the action in the spring game is teammate on teammate, so don’t expect any explosive hits — especially on valuable skill players and those still fragile from 2013 injuries, which are many — but it’s an enjoyable first look at some of the players that have a shot to earn valuable minutes once the season opens Aug. 30 against Clemson in Athens. Even though it’s practice, as an unapologetic Bulldog fan, I’ll tune in to watch on what is shaping up to be a beautiful spring day, before flipping it to The Masters.
