“The First Five” set to be honored on Saturday for big anniversary

This Saturday is set to be an exciting one in Athens, with the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs opening up conference play against South Carolina under the lights at Sanford Stadium.

There are plenty of storylines on the field. How will Georgia’s defense continue its momentum? How will Shane Beamer coach his team in his return to Athens? Who will start at quarterback for both teams?

There is more to this game off of the field too, though. Before the game, the University of Georgia will honor the first five Black scholarship football players that played for the university under then-head coach Vince Dooley in 1971.
