Bulldogs Roundup: UGA Heavy Favorite

Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt got votes of confidence this week from former coach Vince Dooley and , Coastal Carolina Coach David Bennet, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

From UGA President Michael Adams, Richt got, at the very least, a reprieve.

“I don’t believe I have ever commented on any coach mid-season,” the AJC quotes Adams saying. “What we do with every head coach, at the end of the season the AD sits down and makes a judgment. Then he makes a judgment whether or not he needs to talk to the president about that."

Here's some other reporting and commentary ahead of Saturday's game:

• Bleacher Report offers "Five Players to Watch" in this week's contest.
• The Red & Black notes that injuries have resulted in less experienced players taking on the inside linebacker role.
• The Athens Banner-Herald takes on recruiting issues raised by with the Bulldogs.
• SB Nation's Doug Gillett has a conversation with himself about the prospects for Saturday. Manic Doug to Depressive Doug: "Our two predictions average out to a 48-12 win."
