If you are one of the many who want to jump off the Bridge at the Tate Center because of the injury to Trinton Sturdivant, then don't let me stand in your way.

But for the rest of us who take a more sane approach to UGA football, life is going to be just fine.

The injury to arguably the best sophomore offensive lineman in the SEC is, no doubt, a big blow to this team, but a close look at the roster will tell you that as far as the "o-line" is concerned, this team is plenty deep.

The tragic part of all of this is not the fact that his departure will leave a void at left tackle. It is that it happened to a truly fine young man who was, and probably still is, destined to be a top NFL draft pick once his Dawg Days are done.

Left tackles are a valuable breed. They are the ones employed (or in the case of a college player, enrolled) to watch the backside of a right handed quarterback. The book entitles The Blind Side by Michael Lewis chronicles how a good left tackle over the years has become quite the commodity in the NFL.

So we will watch the rehab and then development of Sturdivant over the next couple of years, and see where this journey takes him...and the Dawgs.

As far as the roster is concerned, there are sixteen interior offensive linemen listed. Redshirt sophomore Josh Davis is slated to be given first crack at filling the void left by Sturdivant, but there are plenty of talented guys who can move in, and I feel, do the job.

I am at that age (and maybe you are, too) where the games and seasons arrive in rapid fire succession. There is always another game, and there is always another player to step in. So it's time to as the old cliché goes: Take a Chill Pill. The Dawgs are going to be fine.

But come back to see me if any more linemen get hurt, and we may jump off that bridge together.
