Georgia had its second scrimmage today. Typically this one is locked down a bit tighter than the first of the spring, and that seems to be the case based on trying to gather intel from it. Here’s what I’ve got so far — I’ll pass along anything else I hear: — The typical pattern for scrimmages this time of year is the offense getting the leg up in the first scrimmage before the defense answers in the second. That tracks with the message from Saturday’s scrimmage, as it sounded like the defense took a step forward from last week. I wrote about Damon Wilson earlier Saturday, and it sounds like he had a productive afternoon. Now sporting No. 10, I think Wilson has a chance to play a big role at outside linebacker if he keeps it up. He’s someone I’m going to be watching closely at G-Day. — Don’t take that note to mean the defense didn’t let the offense get anything done. It sounds like Carson Beck had another strong afternoon, and Colbie Young came up with another touchdown catch. I’m still trying to find out if my Oscar Delp prediction came to pass… — Roderick Robinson drew a lot of praise after the first scrimmage. This week it sounds like Andrew Paul answered the bell. I was told that Paul delivered an explosive run — something Kirby Smart said the team did not have in Scrimmage No. 1 — on his way to the end zone. Paul continues to work to prove he’s ready for a bigger role this fall.

No service that I pay for. The real details are from a personal source.

Report from scrimmage:

CB - Daylen Everette, Ellis Robinson
CB - Daniel Harris, Julio Humphrey
STAR - Aguero
S - D. Jackson (Starks still out)
S - JaCorey Thomas

JaCorey Thomas really stood out in the scrimmage. 3 interceptions. He can really make a move if he keeps it ip.

David Daniel-Sisavanh got an injury, not known if serious.

Didn’t hear about any other position.

That group is 2024 Georgia's biggest unknown IMO. Going into last season I had a lot of confidence in Smith, Bullard and Lassiter, both in tackling and coverage. I know the current group will have some stars too, but they need to develop quickly because there aren't many soft spots in the '24 schedule.

Fortunately for us maybe, Clemson's offense still looked sluggish in their spring game (it's on youtube). Unlike most spring games, it was a reasonably hard scrimmage. Dabo turned the defense loose, seems like he wanted a realistic test of the offense and his quarterbacks. I'm not gonna call Klubnik a bust because young quarterbacks can have a long learning curve before they get comfortable running an offense, but he doesn't appear to be there yet.

Our potential for an explosive offense vs Clemson's D will be a solid test to start the season.

This! Last year that group helped out with the lack of great play on the first and second levels of the defense! First level was not great, got pushed around.. second level was young and inexperienced at times. This year the roles are reversed!

Yeah, I'm optimistic about the front 7, assuming the ILB'ers stay healthy. They need to be better at containing the wide runs, but the '21 and '22 defenses did a great job of that so I think they'll get it fixed this year. That should take some pressure off the secondary too if they don't have to worry as much about the front 7 losing contain on the edge.

They're loaded with talent, but they did lose a lot on defense. There was a graphic during the spring game showing that they lost 8 starters, plus a couple of important backup DB's (Jalyn Phillips to NFL draft and Toriano Pride to transfer portal). And Swinney doesn't use the portal so no influx of experience to replace that loss. Hopefully Bobo and Beck can take advantage of that.

DE Xavier Thomas------- 30 starts
DT Tyler Davis------------ 52 starts
DT Ruke Orhorhoro----- 30 starts
DE Justin Mascoll------- 24 starts
LB Jeremiah Trotter---- 26 starts
CB Nate Wiggins------- 18 starts
S Andrew Mukuba----- 31 starts
CB Sheridan Jones---- 28 starts

Brooks Austin did a mini breakdown of Clemson’s spring game. Cliff notes: Klubnik still not great. LG, C, and RG are very bad. Receivers not very seperatey, RBs very meh. Defense good and also plays very aggressive upfront. Sammy Brown looks really good in their defense, but would have needed work in ours because he’s highly explosive in a straight line, but laterally he’s average and our ILBs read and react and fill gaps more than they run blitz which Clemson essentially has at least one backer run blitzing on most running plays.

If Clemson has another season like last year, Dabo may have to make a choice. Either start taking transfers or his seat will get hot. I'm not sure you maintain a top program if experience is leaving through the portal but not entering.

Essentially Uncle Lou's breakdown as well.
