CPJ said the team has had a good week of practice. Said that this late in the year you are cutting back some in practice and not staying out there as long.
CPJ said it's hard to tell a difference in how the players practice this week than any other week. Said it's been a little different this week because no one has class.
CPJ said the team will practice early in the morning then have a Thanksgiving lunch, then they can go be with their families.
CPJ said UGA has a bunch of good running backs, and that Holyfield and Swift are big, strong players who are hard to bring down. Said the team has to rally to the ball.
CPJ said this is probably one of the best practice teams he has had, hasn't thought much about it. Said they all have a good routine and know what to do and how to practice.
CPJ said Richard LeCounte is a really good player and is a kid that GT tried to recruit early on but there wasn't much interest.
CPJ said there is no difference in the players under Kirby Smart than Mark Richt. Said they have a top 10 recruiting class regardless of who the coach is. Said for all the years he has recruited and been in Georgia he doesn't remember them ever not having a top 10 class.
CPJ said there is probably no difference in Kirby Smart's first couple season's than Mark Richt's.
Said Malik Rivera has been the most consistent player in the secondary. Said he has provided some leadership back there and played really well.
CPJ said he thinks they will be down one starter on defense. Said everyone will found out who it is Saturday.
CPJ said he wants all the kickoffs to go into the end zone. Joked they never tell Shawn to kick it anywhere else. "Kick that joker as hard as you can and let it ride."
CPJ said it all comes down to execution and blocking and the game will be just as much about GT as it is UGA. Said they have to handle the ball and not get down in distance. Said if they can do that they have success regardless of who they play.
CPJ said they didn't have the ball enough last season against UGA and only ran fifty-something plays. Said they got down to the red zone a few times last year and did some things you can't do against a good team.
CPJ said D'Andre Walker was almost as good as Roquan Smith last year and created problems for the offense.
CPJ joked that Cheyenne Hunt is healthy but probably won't dress.
CPJ said his teams are always playing during Thanksgiving. Said at Ga Southern they were always in the playoffs, at Hawaii they always had their last game, and at Navy they were always prepping for Army vs Navy.
CPJ said his family is really small and spread out. Said he has two brothers in North Carolina, one will be with his wife's family and one will be with his mom. Said his Thanksgiving will probably just be him, his wife and his daughter. Said every once in a while they have players come over if they have nowhere to go, but less and less started coming once he became a head coach.
