It’s less than 72 hours from kickoff in the Duke’s Mayo Classic and Georgia football is dealing with its first COVID scare of the young season.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Wednesday night that Georgia football’s accomplished sports medicine director, Ron Courson, tested positive for COVID-19.
How could this affect Georgia football as it continues preparations for the opener against Clemson in Charlotte?
First and foremost, let’s hope that Ron Courson is either asymptomatic, or is having as mild a case of COVID as possible. Absent his guidance and leadership, Georgia football would not have been in the position of health it occupied throughout the tumultuous 2020 season, nor would they been in such a position of strength from a vaccination perspective up and down the roster.
