Five storylines to follow as Georgia football begins spring practices

Spring break is over. Spring football is here for Georgia football.

The Bulldogs hit the field Tuesday afternoon for the first of 15 practices including the G-Day game on April 13.

Georgia headed into the offseason with a 63-3 stomping of Florida State in the Orange Bowl, but the Bulldogs missed out on the playoff after back-to-back national championships.

Logue said spring practices will show which newcomers have what it takes to play for the Bulldogs.

“The day you walk in the locker room we’re going to see if you can be in that foxhole with us,” he said. “We’re going to see if you can go out in front of 102,000, 93,000 or 39,000 and see if you can stand up and be a man.”

Here are five storylines for the Bulldogs this spring:
