As you have seen, Dash has a series looking ahead to each of Georgia's opponents for the 2023 season.
It's not exactly a murderer's row.
That's not Georgia's fault. The Bulldogs were told to drop the game with Oklahoma. And it's not Kirby's fault the other teams couldn't recruit at a bachelorette party.
So UGA has a very easy start to the season, unlike years past when they faced Clemson and Oregon in Week One.
That is why I am pretty sure we won't be seeing running back Branson Robinson or linebacker Smael Mondon in those games. I have been asking around. Neither will be needed in the opening weeks. I doubt either could play even if Georgia was facing a tougher opponent. Robinson's foot injury was pretty bad. Mondon had surgery a while back (left foot?) but his convalescence/rehab could take him into fall camp. So by the time he is cleared to play (resume practice full speed) it could be a couple of games into the season.
As we saw with Salyer, if you have a good backup like Broderick Jones, Smart will play the backup and not force the starter to go at 70% health.
