the prime targets for Zeier. fjHH
"They have the returning ; fll^
leading receiver in the con- m&lTI
ference," USC Head Coach
Brad Scott said. "The big play
ability is there. Their receivers Jfflpl
are very fast; that concerns Ff
me with our young secondary. f: '
Well have to put pressure on ! i'
Hunter led the SEC in re- IkJlliLceiving
iast season with 76 receptions,
970 yards and nine
touchdown receptions. Graham and J
Thomas will also get a lot of chances to m<
the ball downfield this year.
Georgia will be sending seniors Jair
Warner and Maurice Harrell in to take 01
the vacancy left by All-SEC tight end Sh;
non Mitchell. Warner played in all 11 gan
last season for the Bulldogs.
He caught one touchdown and finish
the season with two receptions. The Build*
are expecting big things from Harrell, v,
was named "the biggest offensive surprise
the spring" by the coaching staff.
In the backfield for the Bulldogs will
seniors Terrell Davis and Bill Montgome
who accounted for almost 1,000 yards a
eight touchdowns in 1993.
Georgia has a young defensive squad; <
ly one starting lineman returns. Jeff Kaii
and Travis Jones return to action after mi
ing all of last year due to injury.
Randall Godfrey will anchor the lir
backing corps for the Bulldogs. He led t
