Georgia Bulldogs: Logan Stewart
Todd Grantham nearly gave him one -- and that screaming match between Georgia’s defensive coordinator and Vanderbilt’s head coach after the Bulldogs barely hung on for a 33-28 win last season is sure to be one of the dominant storylines as their teams prepare for Saturday’s rematch.
For his part, Grantham tried on Saturday night to downplay any bad blood that his confrontation with Franklin might have created. But he admitted that he hasn’t been asked questions about any subject more than those concerning his dustup with Franklin since it occurred last October.
“I have not,” Grantham said. “It’s an SEC East game. That’s the biggest thing: SEC East home game. So to me, it’s about us winning an SEC home game and any time you play an SEC team, it’s going to be tough and competitive. So we’ve got to prepare to be ready to play that kind of game.”
