When Georgia head coach Mark Fox changed his lineup against Tennessee, he likened it to a game of chess, with his team needing to be the first to make a move.
In the four games that preceded the meeting at Tennessee, three ended in a loss. So Georgia adjusted and inserted Tyree Crump and Mike Edwards into the starting lineup for the first time all year. That, along with some rotational changes, helped the Bulldogs pick up a road win over the Volunteers.
The strategic maneuvering of Fox’s lineup continued Tuesday against Mississippi State. Instead of sticking with the same group, Fox gave E’Torrion Wilridge his first career start Tuesday evening.
