It doesn’t seem like Georgia freshman linebacker Matt Stagg landing a DUI is that big of a deal. It happens. Thankfully, he didn’t hurt anyone. The DUI isn’t even why we’re here.

Stagg explained that he had thought the speed limit was 35 mph and apologized saying that he was going to pick up his friend, according to the report.
The officer could reportedly “smell a strong odor which [he] associated with an alcoholic beverage which seemed to be emenating from the passenger side of the vehicle.”
He also reportedly noticed “the [Stagg’s] eyes were glassy in appearance” and the driver appeared nervous as he seemed talkative” and “his hands and arms were at times shaking.”
Boom –DUI and a shorter leash from Mark Richt. Freshman lesson learned. No second chances. Become the

Let me tell you, Keith Marshall is a great kid with a phenomenal attitude—and he’s done a stand-up job for the Georgia Bulldogs this season—but to hear him say he thought the level of competition would be harder made me pause for just a nano second.

I suspect those pesky Eagles will be looking to neutralize Jarvis Jones immediately, but Jones has been known to find ways to stay in the game—when healthy. Hopefully, the Bulldogs seize control of this one early enough that Jones won’t have to play the hero.
