ATHENS — Georgia quarterback JT Daniels threw for 324 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead the first-team offense (RED TEAM) over the first-team defense (BLACK TEAM).
“It was a great day I think for everyone, offense, defense and both teams,” Daniels told the SEC Network after throwing touchdown passes to Adonai Mitchell, Demetris Robertson and Kearis Jackson.
“I’m proud of how a lot of the guys competed., a lot of the younger wideouts and younger DBs,” Daniels said. “You saw (cornerbacks) Jalen Kimber today and Kelee Ringo, and younger guys like (receivers) Adonai Mitchell and older guys like Demetris Robertson play well.”
ESPN analyst Jordan Rodgers left impressed.
“It was a little bit of a slow start, but (Daniels) showed you everything you wanted to see,” Rodgers said. “They didn’t show much (offense) today, but we didn’t expect them to show much.”
Mitchell was targeted 13 times, catching 7 passes for 105 yards including a 24-yard touchdown. Robertson hauled in 4 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown.
