Beginning of the show: Georgia center Lamont Gaillard is the best player in the country at his position according to an anonymous coach quoted by Sports Illustrated. I’ll talk on today’s show about why a solid anchor in the middle of UGA’s offensive line will be helpful as the Bulldogs transition Andrew Thomas to left tackle, work in a new starter at right tackle and hold intense competition at both guard spots. I’ll also share exclusive interviews with former Georgia quarterbacks David Greene and DJ Shockley discussing this year’s competition between Jake Fromm and Justin Fields.
