UGA Football: George Pickens is Back………………….Sort Of

Kirby Smart revealed yesterday that George Pickens has been doing more with the team, specifically working with the scout team. I do not believe he is taking on contact yet while on the field.

Here’s what he said during his Tuesday media session:

“George has done a little more work than he’s done in the past. We’ve had George at practice, catching passes against routes on air, but that’s really been it, the things that y’all have seen. He’s done more competitive periods in terms of scouts and looks and getting confidence, being able to go up against some DBs and things. But he’s not taking reps with the one or two offense because we don’t know when he’s going to be ready, and those reps are too valuable. We can’t give them to him and not have another player that’s going to play in the game. But when he’s cleared to play in the game, he’ll start getting some of those reps. I don’t know a timeline. I wish I did.”

“Just like those other guys—Darnell, Tykee, JT coming off his injury, Dom (Dominick Blaylock) coming off his injury—there’s a process that has to happen. You don’t come back from an injury and jump right back in where you were,” Smart said. “It’s hard, because you have to get all the reps, the volume of reps, the work. There’s only so many reps to give on actual execution. Dom’s been down on the scout team this week giving a great picture.”

UGA Football: Frierson Chats With Lewis Cine

Like almost all of his teammates on the top-ranked Georgia football team, Lewis Cine listens to music before games. The free safety isn’t trying to pump himself up, however. There’s nothing loud or aggressive blasting through his headphones. Instead, Cine is trying to slow everything down to a calm, measured state.

Whatever the 6-foot-1 and 200-pound junior from Cedar Hill, Texas, is doing, it’s working. Cine has started 21 straight games and is second on Georgia’s top-rated defense with 40 tackles.

During a Quick Chat on Monday, Cine, who has Haitian roots, talked about what he does to relax, being his own man, his creative side, and much more. Here’s some of what he had to say:

Frierson: What do you do when you want to get away from school and football?

ATHENS, Ga. – Powered by a second-half rally, the University of Georgia men’s basketball team opened the 2021-22 regular season with a 58-51 victory over Florida International Tuesday evening before 6,023 spectators at Stegeman Coliseum.
