ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia Bulldogs conducted a two-hour practice in shoulder pads and shorts on Friday afternoon in Athens as they close in on the two-week point prior to the season opener against Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 4. Head coach Mark Richt praised his team's effort and intensity on Friday and called it much-improved from the previous day's session. "Today's practice was a whole lot better than yesterday's," Richt said. "Yesterday's was not very good, especially after watching the film. I thought our effort was very good today, much improved. The weather probably had a little something to do with it. Yesterday was going backwards as far as the effort you need. "The effort was not there as a team, as a unit," Richt continued. "Everybody seemed to struggle getting in and out of the huddle, and we weren't sharp with our personnel groups or lining up properly. If we were playing someone with a high-tempo kind of offense, we would have been in trouble yesterday." Richt attributed part of the problem on Thursday was the monotony of preseason practices without competition against an opponent. "We're over half way through camp, but we still have two weeks before the first game," Richt said. "They might be getting a little tired of it, but you can't get tired of getting better. The coaches are pushing them and our seniors, our leaders, need to keep pushing them." Richt said he believes the preparation of the Bulldogs' special teams is going well but it's difficult to accurately gauge. "I think it's going well," Richt said. "That's probably the hardest thing to judge before you play a game. It's hard to get the scout team to emulate what's going to happen in a game so you just don't know. It looks like it's going well. The coaches are doing a good job of teaching everyone what to do." Georgia will return to practice on Saturday morning before taking part in the Bulldogs' annual Fans' Picture Day tomorrow afternoon at Sanford Stadium. Interim mascot "Russ" will be available for photos from 1-3 p.m., while the 2010 Bulldogs will be at the stadium from 3-5 p.m. Due to the construction on the north side of Sanford Stadium, Picture Day will be held in the Gate 6 and 7 plazas and the club level located between Gates 6 and 7 all on the south side of the stadium. University of Georgia Athletic Association officials request fans to be patient and prepared for longer lines and tighter surroundings due to the construction. Gates will open at 1 p.m. to give fans ample time to get into position to meet players and coaches. The Georgia football players and coaches will be on hand for photographs and autographs from 3-5 p.m. Quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers will be set up in Gate 6. Offensive linemen and defensive linemen will be set up in the club level between Gates 6 and 7. Defensive backs, linebackers and special teams will be set up in Gate 7. Fans are reminded that only two items are allowed per person, and event staff will be in place to enforce the limitations prior to entering autograph lines. Starting at 8 a.m., 150 tickets each for ³Russ² and head coach Mark Richt will be distributed from the East Campus Ticket Windows. Fans should be aware that there are two different lines for each ticket and should make plan accordingly if they want to have photos made with both. Georgia, which was ranked No. 21 in the preseason edition of the USA Today coaches poll, will begin the 2010 campaign on Saturday, Sept. 4 against Louisiana-Lafayette at Sanford Stadium. Kickoff for the opener against the Ragin' Cajuns is set for 12:21 p.m., and the contest will be televised on the SEC Network nationwide.
