ATHENS, Ga – The Georgia Bulldogs will open up spring camp tomorrow afternoon coming off a 10-4 season that included the teams’ first appearance in the SEC Championship game since 2005.

Coming into his 12th year as head coach of the Bulldogs, Mark Richt will step onto the practice field with a new 5-year contract. Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham had his contact extended three more years in the off-season as well. The contracts have been agreed upon, but the final details are still being worked out.

On the field, the Bulldogs enter as the one of the favorites in the SEC East. There are many reasons why that is the case, including the depth that returns on the defense, and an experienced quarterback leading the offense. On the other hand, there are also reasons for skepticism as off-field problems. CLICK HERE for a preview of the offense as spring practice commences.
