Georgia entered preseason camp with two major offensive question marks: center and quarterback.
On Tuesday, coach Mark Richt provided the answer to the first and admitted the second will take time to solve.
Speaking before the Bulldogs took the field for the first post-summer practice, Richt named Brandon Kublanow the starting center, confirming what the team’s depth chart revealed in July.
Isaiah Wynn spent most of spring practice manning the position as UGA looks for a replacement for 2014 anchor David Andrews. Wynn’s sometimes-wayward snaps inspired the team to shift Kublanow from guard, giving him individual instruction as he practiced snapping on a side field late in spring ball.
Center is a "tough job description," according to Richt. And for now, "Kublanow is the No. 1 guy."

Now onto the good stuff: Richt gave few indications of the team’s plan at quarterback. Early in camp, at least, post-spring favorite Brice Ramsey, Virginia transfer Greyson Lambert and Faton Bauta will share practice reps. Each will work with the first-, second- and third-team offense.
“It could go all the way to the first game,” Richt said, according to DawgNation.com. “Somewhere along the way it could drop into a two-man race. It’s hard to say where it might go. But that’s our starting point.”
QBs as Richt has said will be rotating in practice with the ones.

Also, Georgia got encouraging news at receiver.
Justin Scott-Wesley will be practicing, Richt says. Had his knee scoped in early July.
