Georgia Bulldogs 2012 Post-Spring Wrapup: Cheers For Crowell, Questions For The OL
There was plenty to be excited about after G-Day, but a thin offensive line and big (if temporary) holes in the secondary could still stand between the Dawgs and a second straight trip to the Dome.

2012 UGA Football: Christian LeMay Still In Competition For Back Up QB Job
Aaron Murray's spot as the No. 1 quarterback is as secure as a Masterlock. However, the No. 2 quarterback position is much less secure. Christian LeMay has been projected to take the No. 2 spot but is battling stiff competition from Hutson Mason and walk-on Parker Welch.
LeMay finished 7 of 10 passing for 154 yards with a touchdown and interception in his latest and greatest scrimmage, but his battles with consistency is a concern for the Georgia Bulldogs coaching staff. LeMay's biggest critic, his offensive coordinator Mike Bobo:
"Right now there isn’t any decision about who’s going to be the backup. LeMay’s come a million miles from last year. …He shows flashes, but we’ve got to become more consistent."
The life and times of the SEC can mean that your quarterback could be down for the count at any given moment, and if Murray goes down then Mark Richt would love to have a signal caller to lean on who can keep an emerging offense calm under pressure. Christian LeMay, your time is now.

Georgia G-Day Game: Red Team Hangs On To Defeat Black 32-31
Many expected Georgia's defense to dominate the annual G-Day game that brings an end to spring practice but the Bulldogs' offense was up to the task on Saturday and the Red team survived a failed two-point conversion late to hold on for a 32-31 win.
There were standout performances and big plays on both sides of the ball. Injuries and upcoming suspensions forced the focus to many backup players who will likely see their first extensive action in a Bulldogs' uniform this season. Ray Drew had a couple of sacks in the game from the defensive end position and linebacker Ramik Wilson finished with seven tackles and an interception.
Offensively Justin Scott-Wesley looked like a factor at the wide receiver position catching three passes for 46 yards and tight end Jay Rome made a huge play late for the Black team as he hauled in a 66 yard touchdown pass.
Running back Ken Malcome drew praise from the coaches after the game for his eight carry, 32 yard two touchdown day. Isaiah Crowell alternated first half series with Malcome and finished with 10 carries and 39 yards. More importantly he wrapped up spring healthy and without controversy.
Georgia's quarterback situation looked pretty good with Aaron Murray sharp and Hutson Mason looking like a more than capable backup. Mason would likely only play this season if there was a serious injury to Murray as the reported plan is for him to redshirt. That will elevate Christian LeMay to the backup slot for this season and he didn't disappoint on Saturday throwing for 154 yards and a touchdown.
Georgia's spring practice was filled with more than enough drama with reported suspensions to Alec Ogletree and Bacarri Rambo looming. There is a long wait between now and fall practice and Bulldogs fans everywhere could live with a quiet summer.

UGA Spring Football: Faton Bauta Out Of G-Day Game With Minor Knee Injury
Freshman quarterback Faton Bauta joins the list of players that will not take part in the G-Day game on Saturday. Bauta has a minor knee issue that will prevent him from suiting up. Bauta joins a list that includes fellow freshman Keith Marshall and sophomore Malcolm Mitchell who will also miss the game.
Malcolm Mitchell (hamstring), QB Faton Bauta (knee), TB Keith Marshall (hammy) are also out. Richard Samuel (concussion) may play.
— Seth Emerson (@SethEmerson) April 12, 2012
Both Mitchell and Marshall are out with hamstring injuries. Richard Samuel suffered a concussion earlier in spring practice but may be able to give it a go on Saturday. Safety Shawn Williams will also be held out of Saturday's game with a knee injury that Richt said wasn't serious and would not require surgery. He is expected to begin workouts again soon.

Add wide receiver/corner back Malcom Mitchell to the list of players whose status for the G-Day Game is up in the air. Mitchell has a hamstring injury, according to Seth Emerson.

UGA Spring Football: RB's Keith Marshall, Richard Samuel Unlikely To Play In G-Day Game
Running back Keith Marshall is a four-star recruit from the 2012 class decided graduated high school early so that he could participate in spring practice with the Georgia. However due to a hamstring injury Marshall has been kept out of practice this past week and the injury is likely to keep him out of Georgia's spring game on Saturday April 14.
Head coach Mark Richt said that the chances of Marshall suiting up for the G-Day game are 'not very good.' Marshall is not the only Georgia running back who may not play in Saturday spring game.
Richard Samuel has been suffering from concussion like symptoms and if he is to play on Saturday Richt said that Samuel will need to be symptom free:
"Once the symptoms are gone, we do some physical exertion. If they're okay on that then we get closer to being able to get in," Richt said. "It's a process. I think Richard felt pretty good today, but I don't know if he's gonna be able to go through that process in enough time to make it for G-Day."
