Georgia football podcast: One thing for UGA that hasn’t changed with Jamie Newman’s departure

Beginning of the show: Georgia quarterback Jamie Newman has decided to opt out of the upcoming season. The news was surprising to many UGA fans, but the unexpected nature of the decision shouldn’t distract from the fact that the most important storyline for the Bulldogs remains unchanged.

30-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including four-star defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins top four finalists, praise for Florida quarterback Kyle Trask from his position coach and a preview of the first FBS games of the season set to take place Thursday night.
