A big key to Georgia’s possible success this season will come this summer, the Georgia coach feels.

“Now until the fall, we can’t coach them. The seniors have to take over now, and make sure the team continues to work,” said Richt. “We can easily regress, if we don’t work. You just have to know that in order for us to win, we have to prepare this summer. It is on the team leaders right now.”

As far as positions are concerned, Richt immediately talked about place-kicking. The Bulldogs lost do-everything Brandon Coutu to graduation, and it has the Georgia coach worried.

“We better find a kicker,” said Richt.

Brian Mimbs will be back to punt, and he will also hold on the place-kicks.

A participant asked about upcoming redshirt-sophomore Knowshon Moreno, who set the Georgia world ablaze in 2007 with a breakout season that saw him rush for 1,334 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also caught 20 passes for 253 yards.

“Knowshon has proven he is a great player,” said Richt.

Moreno could have help in 2008 from redshirt-freshman Caleb King, who was a bright spot in the G-Day spring game this past Saturday.

“Caleb King is a talent. He has a little extra in him, that I like,” said Richt.

The coach added, “We also have talented fullbacks (led by junior Brannen Southerland).”

On the other side of the ball, “We have a lot of depth on defense,” said Richt.

“We have six or seven defensive ends that are doing well. We also have four or five defensive linemen that are ready to go.”

He went on to talk favorably about his linebackers and defensive backs. Richt also took time to praise cornerback Asher Allen, as he said, “Asher is a good player, and a good all-around kid.”

While a majority of the Georgia coaching staff went out to play with the participants, Richt headed back to Athens after talking to the players.
