Georgia senior receiver Marlon Brown continues to have a strong preseason. He led all receivers with seven catches for 98 yards. Linebacker Mike Gillard led all tacklers with four.

…Coach Mark Richt said he wasn’t trying to keep the media out with a closed practice on Tuesday. It was closed only because there was no fundamental work done that day. Practices later this week will be open, he said.

…Is Georgia thinking ahead to Missouri? Told that “their guy is a dual-threat quarterback,” Richt said that Faton Bauta is “really good at simulating (James) Franklin.” That’s Missouri’s quarterback. …There were no operational snafus by the coaching staff in the scrimmage as they simulated a game day. Richt credited the graduate assistants for getting the scout team lined up properly.
