Georgia senior OT out for season

As for Georgia’s offensive line, this leaves a huge hole. The 6-foot-5, 312-pound Sturdivant was splitting time with converted guard Cordy Glenn at the left and right tackle positions.

Sturdivant’s injury leaves Glenn as the only Bulldog tackle with any real experience, and while Glenn did start four games at left tackle after Sturdivant went down in 2009, most of his experience has come at left and right guard.

Junior A.J. Harmon could be an option at tackle, but he’s played in just seven career games. Redshirt sophomore Austin Long and redshirt freshman Kolton Houston could be options at right tackle, should Glenn permanently move to left tackle. Redshirt freshman Brent Benedict, who missed all of the 2010 season after suffering a severe right knee injury during his senior year of high school, could also be an option to replace Sturdivant.

The low numbers at tackle mean the Bulldogs will have to immediately throw incoming freshmen tackles Zach DeBell, Xzavier Ward and Watts Dantzler into the fall practice rotation.

It's that offense they run.

Maybe Richt will go all 08 again and drop the contact drills from practice.

Sucks for the kid.

But good for us. And the free world.

Not that we are any better off.

That kid can't get a break. He's been injured every year for the past three years. He was a good lineman too. He had a great season his (r) sophomore year, IIRC, and then just kept injuring that knee.

Love for bad things to happen at ugag...

except for a kid getting injured.

Hope he still gets a shot at the NFL.

Sad for the kid, but if it had to happen, couldn't have happened to a better team

I'm glad he got injured. I'm not going to be sad for some UGA kid's football injury. I'll be sad if it's an injury that affects their life off the football field. So he can't play football this year. Boohoo, neither can I. I'll save my sympathies for starving Ethiopians and Tech O-linemen.
