After asking around, here is what we were told from multiple sources about Georgia's second scrimmage of the season.

This was a much better-looking team than last week. This is how we expected them to look. Smart mentioned in his press conference how much he liked the competition out there. He was not exaggerating, as both sides looked a lot more polished, and the players were going all out.

DJ Daniels looks like he belongs out there. He is getting a lot more snaps with the first team. His experience is paying off.

Jake Fromm looked very impressive, night and day better than last week. “So much better,” per one insider.

Fans should not sleep on Brian Herrien. He was great versus the second team. He had a 50-yard TD last week that was not mentioned a whole lot.

Jermaine Johnson was second string. When he gets to the QB, you can see how fast he is. He just needs to get there more often. Of course, that’s easier said than done, when facing Andrew Thomas

Speaking of, the coaches played Cade Mays at the left tackle spot to give him some reps out there. Word is he did fine.

The starting offensive line, in general, came to play.

Kenny McIntosh can play. Don’t overlook him either. Ran hard vs. third team; will be interesting to see how he progresses against the first or the second team.

James Cook was catching the ball out of the backfield well. He is going to be huge. I saw him make a one-handed grab in warm-ups. That was impressive. He also bounced the ball outside for a big gain.

Zamir White was fine, but not as gaudy in the stats like last week. No 50-yard wheel route TD for him this week.

Walk-on quarterback Nathan Priestley has potential.

Overall, the discipline for the second scrimmage was good, meaning there were few penalties.

Charlie Woerner made a first down when the offense needed it. John FitzPatrick dropped a sure TD. That is rare for FitzMagic.

Georgia Pickens scored a 30-plus yard touchdown on a pass from Stetson Bennett.

Lewis Cine looked great and Mark Webb did well. Both had interceptions today

The defense tackled well, and the goal-line defense was good. There was good gang tackling and the players were flying to the ball.

Tyler Simmons was catching punts. He also caught a 65-yard touchdown pass right off the bat.

Nolan Smith is going to be a problem for offenses.

UPDATE - Nakobe Dean has what they think is a high ankle sprain, but not serious. Should be fine.
