OK, just a quick post-practice run-down today...
Practice notes...
-- Practice was cut short by five plays, according to Mark Richt, thanks to rain and lightning.
-- Aaron Murray said he's looked at each practice as a quiz, the two scrimmages as tests and Saturday will be the final exam for the QBs. Said he's eagerly awaiting news on the depth chart.
-- Dontavius Jackson confirmed he was the "peacemaker" in the taxi cab incident, but said he could not comment further due to the ongoing investigation.
On G-Day...
Mark Richt says the won't run a "vanilla" offensive and defensive scheme on Saturday, but it will be dialed back. Said Richt, "Fans may be expecting this, that and the other, and we might give 'em this and that, but not the other."
There won't be live kickoffs, but there will be live punting. Punts, FGs and PATs won't be rushed by the D though.
They'll play 12-minute quarters, unless Richt changes his mind between now and then.
On injuries...
Chris Davis' hip is bothering him. He may not play G-Day, but it's nothing serious.
Tavarres King and Kris Durham both have minor hand injuries, but both will play.
Abry Jones should practice Friday, but was in green today. Same with Marcus Dowtin.
Caleb King was in green and will not play on G-Day.
Richard Samuel was out of practice Thursday, too. Richt wasn't sure the specific injury, but he said Samuel was doubtful to play Saturday. (And I'm working on finding out what the specific injury was.)
Marlon Brown practiced Thursday and should be 100 percent for G-Day.
-- And finally, the much awaited G-Day rosters...
The black team, which will actually be wearing white, is the first-team D and second-team offense. The red team is the first-team offense and second-team defense.
Richt said all three quarterbacks will rotate between both teams.

Too bad we didn't bet on the peacemaker or you'd owe me a beer!
David, will you be doing a live blog? I won't be near Athens, or sadly a TV, on Saturday.
The G-day game will be broadcast live on ESPN3.COM. They keep games up for at least a few weeks after that too.
Eneryone knew it Dontavious Jackson. He's the only player we have from Heard County. I live in Troup County and the other three knuckle heads acted in true Heard county redneck style. And yes black can be rednecks too.
