ATHENS — Kirby Smart is worried about his offensive line. Not because of the talent in the room or continuity.

But because of all the preseason praise being placed at the foot of Georgia’s offensive line.

“The fear is reading what y’all say about them,” Smart said. “It’s believing what Warren Brinson says about Amarius Mims is going to be the gospel. You have to earn that.

Not just with the returning starters in Sedrick Van PranTate Ratledge and Xavier Truss. But even some of the backups behind them.

Smart has his worries about depth, as is the case with every position, but this offensive line isn’t just five deep. It’s closer to nine.
