Georgia football podcast: 5 freshmen who appear ready to break out for UGA

Beginning of the show: Georgia is ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll and in the midst of a pursuit of a second consecutive national championship. The backbone of the program’s success has been a streak of recruiting wins that dates back years. Perhaps then, it’s no surprise that the best Bulldogs teams under Coach Kirby Smart have always benefited from an influx of first-year players, many of whom once ranked as top prospects.

This year is seemingly no different, and I’ll highlight some who’ve stood on from the rest on today’s show -- including safety Malaki Starks, running back Branson Robinson, defensive linemen Bear Alexander and Mykel Williams as well as tight end Oscar Delp.

15-minute mark: I use a comment Tuesday night from UGA coach Kirby Smart as a springboard to discuss the Bulldogs’ chances of repeating as national champions.

20-minute mark: DawgNation’s Mike Griffith joins the show.

40-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including the growing hype for the Alabama-Tennessee game.

End of show: I award a Golden Shoe winner and share the Gator Hater Updater and the Gator Hater Countdown.

After the show: I take questions and comments as part of the Podcast Cool Down.
