On Monday, most of the Georgia signees in the Class of 2012 reported to campus to begin summer school and offseason workouts. Three of the signees enrolled in January and went through spring camp. The freshman class is low on numbers but is packed with talent. Add to that a number of position moves in the spring and the Bulldogs should have quite an interesting depth chart heading into the first game against Buffalo. So, looking ahead, DawgNation’s Roundtable question is: “From what position does Georgia need to get more production in 2012 and do you think they have the talent there to do it?”

David Ching: I suppose there is a chicken-or-egg argument to be made here. Looking back over the four games Georgia lost last season, its production in the run game was anemic in three of them.

My first inclination is to blame the running backs. For instance, leading rusher Isaiah Crowell was injured in the final two losses against LSU and Michigan State, and in the season-opening loss to Boise State he was not yet the feature back. Richard Samuel, Ken Malcome and Carlton Thomas didn't do much in those games, either. Adding Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley to the mix will help this fall.
