Dent likely to start Saturday

ATHENS - Georgia probably will have a new look to its linebacker corps Saturday against Western Carolina, but Coach Mark Richt won’t say for certain.

“I wouldn’t bet on that,” Richt said Thursday when asked if the regular rotation of Brandon Miller (strong side), Dannell Ellerbe (middle) and Darius Dewberry (weak side) would start again this weekend.

“We’ll just make that a game-time mystery,” Richt said.

Redshirt freshman Akeem Dent worked as the starting strong side linebacker in Miller’s place during Wednesday’s practice.

Ellerbe leads Georgia with 14 tackles this year. Miller and Dewberry each have seven.
