I’m glad young freshman phenom wideout Terry Godwin got the jitters out of the way versus ULM last week. Despite reeling in 3 receptions for 31 yards against the Warhawks, it was a near fumble by Godwin that most people will remember from his UGA debut.

Fortunately for the two-sport star at UGA (he will play baseball this spring), the fumble on the field was ultimately overturned on the field by the officials in Georgia’s favor. From that point on, Godwin looked like a 5-star recruit making his collegiate debut, meaning he didn’t look completely overwhelmed by playing in Sanford Stadium.

I feel that Terry Godwin takes last week’s near miscue and turns it into something magical on Saturday. Whether it’s in the return game, in the slot, on even on the outside, it wouldn’t surprise me if Terry Godwin scores his first touchdown for the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday versus Vanderbilt in highlight fashion.

A major reason Terry Godwin Committed to the G over Alabama was that he would be playing in the same offensive system that his favorite NFL player Tavon Austin played in last year in St. Louis. Brian Schottenheimer was the former OC of the St. Louis Rams before joining Mark Richt’s staff in February. Is tomorrow the beginning of the Terry Godwin Era at WR for UGA? I hope so. UGA needs another wideout to step up with RS Senior Malcolm Mitchell this fall for Georgia to have a more balanced offensive attack.
