Mason ready for start against Tech

ATHENS - Hutson Mason's long-awaited first start against Georgia Tech on Saturday will show if the junior can handle the pressure of being Georgia's quarterback. At least coach Mark Richt believes it will. One thing is certain, Mason definitely had plenty of time to prepare for the opportunity.

Davidson takes down UGA Bulldogs

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Davidson coach Bob McKillop hadn't felt his back against the wall very often in his quarter-century with the Wildcats.

The Wildcats hadn't opened 0-3 since 2009-10, the last time they came to the TD Arena for the eight-team tournament. And while that group left the building without a victory, ...
