Southerland: Dawgs have seen WVU D before

ATHENS – Brannon Southerland spoke with Dean Legge for a short time after one of Georgia's fall practices.

Dean Legge: Does it seem like dealing with West Virginia’s defense is going to be difficult?

Brannan Southerland: No. We prepared for it a little but during fall camp and its just a little variation of the defense we already played a lot against when we played Boise State, and about half of the other teams we played this year gave us an eight-man look. It’s similar to that. We’ve got three or four weeks to prepare to play against them. I think we will be alright.

Tell me about their linebackers a little bit.

They bring some guys off the edge sometimes, but their blitz packages are not that complex – or as complex as Tech or an LSU would bring. We are going to need to get used to their different defensive look they are bringing.

What about Christmas break?

Go home and spend time with my family and see everyone. I’m going to eat good, but not too good.

Is it hard not to eat a lot?

Personally, I don’t have to watch what I eat too much, but I stay away from Coke and stuff like that.
