12 p.m. ET: The college football season has finally arrived for the Bulldogs.

Expect the heat to be a factor on Saturday, with the on-field temperature set to get into triple digits.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart is confident his team will be able to handle any weather-related adversity on Saturday.

“We’ve been in it,” Smart said. “We’ve been in it more than we’ve been in it in years past. It’s been really one of the hottest camps we’ve measured in terms of practices we’ve practiced outside and practices we’ve practiced inside. We measure all the outside ones against previous camps. It stood out as probably the hottest camp we’ve had. I always worry about our players being acclimated to a game type atmosphere in that heat because you don’t play games a lot of times in it. We practiced in it. We did get to scrimmage in it. But I’ll be interested to see as much about as our players as I do our fans. Let’s see if they can handle it.”

Saturday will be our first chance to see a number of new Georgia newcomers, including wide receiver Isiah Canion, defensive back Khalil Barnes and offensive lineman Zykie Helton.

We will also get a chance to see how some of the key position battles play out, including backup quarterback, safety and right tackle.
