I wish his knee was more Sturdi...

As you probably already know, Trinton Sturdivant (Freshman All-American, Former North Carolina Mr. Football, Blind Side Protector, #77, High School Class President, and Amazing Dancer) needs re-constructive surgery on his knee.

It certainly looks like the Dawgs will have to use their Depth (this is what national contenders do...) to overcome the early adversity.

Here are the possibilities as laid out by ESPN's Chris Low:

What the Bulldogs do from here remains to be seen. They have a couple of different options. The long-term solution is probably freshman Cordy Glenn. The Georgia coaches really like what he's shown to this point.

They could also move Kiante Tripp from right tackle to left tackle and play Josh Davis at right tackle. Davis, a third-year sophomore, had been working as Sturdivant's backup at left tackle.

One other possibility might be moving guard Clint Boling out to tackle, although Boling is a little light, and play redshirt freshman Justin Anderson at Boling's guard spot. Boling, though, is suspended for the first game.

One other option would be sliding Vince Vance over to fill his spot...of course, I remember the Daniel Inman Penalty-Era and I think V.V. could replicate it...
